To get started with goalkeeper training follow this track.  Number one: Set goals. You should set both long range and short range goals using the SMART System. Decide what you want out of the position.  Where do you want to go? Do you want to play in college? After setting up your vision and goals for the goalkeeping position do a needs analysis. This is often best done through your coach who can pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses.  After listing your strengths and weaknesses get drills from your coach to overcome those weaknesses.

Now practice. This same flow of development can be used by coaches, parents and athletes to develop a better goalkeeper.
