Modern goalkeepers need to be more than just shot stoppers.

Clemson University's John Murphy fills this instructional soccer DVD with coaching ideas and exercises that can be integrated into your practice to train and coach both field players and goalkeepers.

Coach Murphy opens with a great agility warm-up drill where the goalkeepers practice communicating with their teammates. This drill teaches keepers how to use their voice and gets them used to having to organize the players in front of them, which is critical during game situations. This is a great way for goalkeepers to develop confidence in their leadership abilities. The warm-up session also includes a passing drill that highlights the goalkeeper and the importance of your goalkeeper being good with their feet.

Moving to the practice session, Murphy demonstrates a fast-paced, small-sided game that encourages players to take shots on goal, which also gives the goalkeepers many chances to make saves. These exercises will put players in game-like situations that will give your players more experience and confidence to execute in an 11v11 game.

This video will help you develop leadership and confidence into your goal keepers by integrating them into a regular practice session.

Give up fewer goals this season using these proven defensive tactics and exercises.

Brandon Koons demonstrates fundamental tactics for successful team defending. Coach Koons begins with an easy to understand discussion of the basic defending principals - pressure, cover, depth and balance. He then reviews the roles of the first, second and third defenders, the importance of a team's line of confrontation, and includes a discussion on team shape.

Using live demonstrations, Koons shows exercises that will help your defenders understand their roles and responsibilities. The exercises begin simply and are built upon slowly by adding conditions and players. During these exercises players learn the importance of communication, compactness, side-to-side movement and overall team shape. This video is of benefit to both players trying to understand defensive responsibilities and coaches trying to train their players.

Coach Koons' philosophy of "building from the back" by training players in defending fundamentals has proven quite successful over the years. This DVD will help you understand a defender's role and responsibility and provides training exercises to help improve your team's defending shape.

Over the past few years, the world's top teams have begun playing a more aggressive style of high pressure defense. This type of defense causes problems for the opposition by taking them out of their comfort zone and forcing them to play quicker than they would like. However, playing high pressure defense is much more than just pressing high up the field. It takes a tactical understanding of the entire team as well as an aggressive attitude.

30 Minute Soccer Clinic - High Pressure Team Defending features a functional training session that focuses on organizing your players and putting them in a position to play high pressure defense. The importance of all players being in the right frame of mind and on the same page is stressed. There is a focus on how to press the player with the ball and how to make the opposition play in a predictable manner. This session also has a conditioning element.

This session was conducted at the 2008 Football Coaching International Coaching Conference, Brisbane, Australia.

30 Minute Soccer Clinic DVDs provide quality instruction demonstrated in a condensed training session of approximately 30 minutes. However, the drills and exercises in this DVD can be conducted as a complete training session or utilized in your training sessions regularly throughout the season.
