Great stuff.

It's so ***** that kids are taught how to play football by good coaches.

I always remember how much I improved as a goalkeeper when my mates dad (ex-pro) started coaching sessions with me. From there I managed to get picked up by the Young Owls and I was fortunate enough to have a number of coaching sessions with Martin Hodge - fantastic bloke who opened my eyes to the difference in coaching at academy level.

I've always wanted to pass some of that knowledge on to today's young goalkeepers - whose training consists of the entire team belting the ball at them for 10 minutes before a game - but I've not had heard anything back from the local clubs I contacted.
