Goalkeeper Roundtable

Welcome back everyone, AND Happy New Year. We kick off season 2 of The Goalkeeper Roundtable by asking American Goalkeeping Icon Jon Busch to pull up a chair. Jon had a 20 year storied, and, rock solid career as a professional goalkeeper. We talk a bit about that career but also his transition into coaching and bit about his High Performance Goalkeeping business. We had a lot of fun chatting with Jon and we hope you enjoy the conversation. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, David Winner, Director of Academy Goalkeeping, of the MLS Champion Columbus Crew joins us for great conversation about his work with young goalkeepers. ENJOY! 

Today it's just the boys sitting around the table having a discussion about goalkeeping, and some of our thoughts that help us build training sessions ad quality goalkeepers. ENJOY

In episode 12, we welcome the one and only John Murphy to the table. While he is currently the successful Head Men’s Soccer Coach at Georgia Southern University, he serves up an unbelievably diverse resume that spans most all levels of collegiate soccer in the United States, multiple experiences in Major League Soccer, and International experience in his favorite country of Scotland.

Murph brings a unique experience, wisdom, and Boston accent ;-), to share with you. We hope you enjoy the knowledge from one the most well rounded, and versed coaches in the United States. 

In episode 12 we have terrific conversation with Mike Novotny, professional goalkeeper playing for Hartford Athletic in The USL Championship. Mike took a somewhat non-traditional and persistent approach to the professional level after playing NCAA Division 1 Soccer at Eastern Illinois University.   Mike is humble, determined and driven! ENJOY

Episode 11 is special one as Anson Dorrance dropped in to talk about his views and perspective on goalkeeping and goalkeepers. As a World Cup Champion Head Coach and the owner of 22 National Championships at the University of North Carolina he does not need much introduction. While we had planned to edit out a bunch of the interview, we decided to leave it all there because it sows the uniquely genuine and gracious nature fo a very busy, honest, and competitive coach. We hope you enjoy this one!

For Episode 10, we gathered up 4 NCAA goalkeepers, Male & Female from Div. 1 2 and 3. We had a great chat that explored how all four of these goalkeepers have managed and continue to manage their training and especially their attitude during the long lay-off with no matches during this pandemic. We knew these four were all great goalkeepers, but in this discussion, we realize that they are all great people as well! Welcome to the show: Jens Bergendorff, Owen Finnerty, Kristen Page, and Alex DeRuvo.
