Most goalkeeper training focuses on tactics and technique — but what about the physical side?
Coach Chris Coll has carved out a unique niche in the sports performance world: developing goalkeepers like true athletes.

In this episode, we cover:

• Chris’s unlikely journey from American football to goalie coaching.
• Why speed and velocity matter more than just weight room strength.
• The difference between high effort and high output — and why most keepers confuse the two.
• Movement competency: hip turns, retreating, and deceleration.
• What separates elite goalkeepers from everyone else.
• How better athleticism expands the goalkeeper’s “toolbox.”
• Assessing keepers remotely and building trust with athletes online.

Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or just curious about the evolution of performance training, this conversation will change how you see the goalkeeper position.
