Without the proper goalkeeper coaching, I would never have been able to progress through the ranks to play Premiership and international football. Sells Goalkeeping Academy provides a platform for goalkeepers to receive first-class goalkeeper coaching by people who have worked at the highest levels of football, as well as a chance to keep fit and have some fun along the way.
Ali Al Habsi
Wigan Athletic
I started my goalkeeping education by attending community goalkeeper coaching courses, before I was then signed up by a professional club. That's where Sells Goalkeeping Academy can play a vital role – it's about getting people engaged in learning about how to be a goalkeeper, giving them the goalkeeper coaching to progress and having the links into professional football clubs to take it one step further.
Heurelho Gomes
Tottenham Hotspur & Brazil
Being a goalkeeper is unique - you need a completely different set of skills and I don't think you can always pick them up from regular coaching sessions. If you are going to compete at the highest level, it's essential that you have someone to give you proper goalkeeper coaching. Sells Goalkeeping Academy can offer just that, with goalkeeper coaches who have worked with some of the best in the business.
Maik Taylor
Birmingham City & N. Ireland
I think anyone who is fortunate enough to be a professional footballer will tell you that practice makes perfect – you need to work hard if you're going to be successful. Coaching will play a big part in that but so will training in a fun environment, where you are encouraged to learn. I believe that Sells Goalkeeping Academy can offer all of that.
Craig Gordon
Sunderland & Scotland
Football will always be the UK's number one sport and I think it's fantastic that Sells Goalkeeping Academy can provide top-notch goalkeeper coaching and training for both boys and girls. I always think it's a great way for people to test their skills as a goalkeeper if they haven't previously played in that position – they will probably really enjoy it!
Mike Pollitt
Wiga Athletic
I don't think there has been enough of a focus on the need for specialised goalkeeping coaching in England – it's so important if we are going to produce the next generation of talent who will hopefully come through and play at a professional level. It's great that Sells Goalkeeping Academy can offer that quality of goalkeeper coaching to players of all ages, as individual one-on-one sessions and constructive feedback are so important.
