I have been asked by several coaches what I do with matchday warmups, so I thought I would share the basic principles of a matchday warmup that I use. Feel free to use whole or part of this warmup routine #GKUnion #goalkeepertraining #football #GKCoach #footballdevelopment
Extremely sad news, seen John & his wife Ann come to so many Home and Away games over the past 6 years even on our team coach on away days. A great supporter of the club, and will be sadly missed. Sending my condolences and love to Ann and of course John's family. ❤️
Weston-super-Mare AFC are deeply saddened to have learnt of the passing of loyal supporter John Western 🤍
John, alongside his wife Ann, were regulars at home matches and were often seen across the country at away matches, supporting the players in all conditions no matter the time of year, becoming friends to a lot of our supporters and a number of Men's First-Team players ⚽
Everyone at the club sends their love, condolences & best wishes to John's wife Ann, John's family and to his friends 🕊️

Had the pleasure of Ollie with us at @WSM_AFCOfficial training with the GKs. An excellent young keeper, great mindset and hungry for success. Finished strong end of last season and would be an asset to any club.
Unfortunately my time at @Official_BTFC has come to an end, Thankyou to all the supporters for such a memorable time with some incredible achievements. A great club with some really amazing people around it.
Wish the club all the best for the future ❤️
A great keeper and comfortable working at step 4. Would easily move up to Step 3. We are looking to continue his development this season. Comes highly recommended

Weston-super-Mare AFC are looking to get goalkeeper Jakob Glover some valuable minutes out on loan between now and Christmas, at a Step Four club or above 🧤
Jakob kept nine clean sheets in 18 games for Portishead Town in the Southern League Division One South last season, and has trained exceptionally well as part of our Goalkeeping group so far this season 👊
If any clubs are interested in Jakob's availability, please contact Scott Rogers or Weston-super-Mare AFC through our social media channels 📱
Just wanted to give a massive thankyou to all that donated last week at the @WSM_AFCOfficial game whilst I am out injured. Means the world & appreciate everyone. Recovery is going well & now starting my physio, can't wait to get back on the training pitch and back in the dugout.
A fantastic goalkeeper, has worked so hard since coming in. Looking forward to seeing how he develops this season. If we can, we will definitley be looking at step 3 loans at some point for his on going development. Well done mate. 👏🏻🤙🏻⚽️
