Not always is lateral shuffling using sidesteps the best choice in a hectic game situation. To be really quick the keepers' coordinative repertoire must include cross steps.

With passion and attention to detail, we've transfered our best drills into a unique and world-class set of training programmes designed to help experienced goalkeeper coaches and ambitious club coaches.
In 2014, I first asked Peter what it would take to have all his goalkeeping experience in a unified drill and video database. Now we're finally here and fortunately, I have no idea how many thousand working hours exactly went into this project.
