Episode Seventeen - The View Of A Goalkeeper
In Week 7 of Inside The Game, host Stuart Sharples explores The Goalkeeper’s View — seeing the game through the eyes of the last line of defense. Goalkeepers embody integrity, leading with communication, composure, and accountability during defensive transitions.
Stuart breaks down Defensive Transitions — the moments after possession is lost — and shares a practical session to train recovery, delay, and team organization, with goalkeepers guiding the unit. Integrity is key: doing the unseen work, tracking runners, and helping teammates stay connected under pressure.
This week’s guest is Jake Tillet, who shares insights on reading the game, commanding transitions, and building trust through communication.
The Coaching Question of the Week: “Which core value do you find the hardest to bring into your sessions?” — a moment to reflect on how your coaching aligns with our values.
