His passion for the position made him the perfect person to talk to about development for teenage goalkeepers, specifically the connection between three training environments: individual training, team practice, and games. Although those three areas have a lot of nuance that...

This episode we have long time returning guest Stan Anderson from FC United and UIC helping me dive into the American goalkeeper landscape. We start with the proposed split-season model for D1 men's soccer. Spoiler: we’re both fans of it. We then jump to a college success story in Zack Steffen and what has held him back on the international stage. From there, we recap the 2019 MLS season and where...

Justin is a former professional goalkeeper, an accomplished writer, and the current goalkeeper coach for North Carolina State. I’ve really appreciated Justin’s analysis over the years. It’s clear he approaches the position with not only a wealth of knowledge from all the years he’s played and coached but also with a mind that really takes into account all the nuances for any given situation. He do...

We return after a summer break with Steve Holroyd to discuss a number of non-goalkeeping events, specifically the 2019 Hall of Fame class, the upcoming MLS CBA, and a mini-documentary PBS put out on the Bethlehem Steel. While Holroyd is not technically a goalkeeper, he provides a point of view as a historian and labor lawyer that many can’t match. So getting Steve in really fits the “everybody” in...

EJ Proctor was a three year starter with the blue devils, finishing in the fall of 2017. For a goalkeeper who’s a little undersized, she never wavered in playing the position correctly and I think that really showed as Duke made deep trips in the national tournament each year with her in net. She would proceed to get drafted by the Utah Royals in 2018 and was set to backup Nicole Barnhart until th...
