"Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong!!"
Solid content as always, thanks Conor! :)
Thanks Aydin!
I really needed this! I’m a young academy goalkeeper, and my shot-stopping ability is decent, but my distribution and ball work is still below par. Thanks Conor! Good luck with your career!
No problem, thank you mate, hope that it can help!
exact same as me
Your the best, and most helpful TH-camr I know!
Thank you Liam! Really means a lot mate!
Quality distribution Conor 👌🏼
To those who question why you need to be as good with both sides - I’ve noticed Lloris often throwing with his right arm since returning after his left elbow dislocation (he’s left-handed) - injuries could dictate you use the non-dominant foot too, so it’s a great idea to practice both
Thanks Henry, that's brilliant, I haven't noticed him doing that! Just shows how important it is!
I've got a 12 year old son who is in goal for his local team but distribution is such a weak point for him, especially goal kicks. I try to get him to follow some of your drills but he gets so frustrated that he can't do it. Have you done any REALLY basic videos about how to set the ball, how to make contact with it from goal kicks and basic techniques for drop kicks? Something that 12-13 year olds could benefit from? Love your content and love following your journey!!!
My kicking was the worst part of my game at that age, and it was only as I started to grow/gain strength that I could improve distance. The technique that I focused on at that age was striking the ball with an open foot to get as much back spin as possible. Then as I got older, I started to try/practice different techniques
@@ConorOKeefe thanks so much for replying!!!
Can you do a episode on mentality as in being resistant to criticism
Yes! Coming very soon!
How to save penalty...please make a video on it❤❤❤
Nicholas Plusnin thanks!😀
distribution is the key asset nowadays and it cant be neglected.
Always work on distribution with both feet
side volleys, half volleys, goalkicks, throws are vital now.
Exactly! Something that needs to be worked on consistently!
I often find connecting a punt to your striker even more satisfying than a save. Reflective of how much I need to work on my distribution
Great video
Thank you! Ahaha i agree!
Could not agree more with the distribution on both feet, quality content here, keep it coming
Thanks Nick, really appreciate that mate
Kasper schmicheal used to practice this 3hours every day
Kasper Schmicheal
its Kasper Schmeichel
Still he wasn't that good with feet
thats the reason he is practicing
@@ishangyan9051 he meant Kasper not Peter schmeichel
It's a nice place...green...trees...freshing air
You have a better weak foot then a lot of pro outfield players mate 👏 the half volley and side volley are very difficult on the weaker foot, v impressed keep it up mate
Thanks Marc, really appreciate that mate. Working really hard to get it equal to my stronger foot!
Just want to say that you are the best Chanel on youtube and I have learn so much of you
Thank you Troy!
Please do a breakdown of your technique!!
And which part of our foot should connect with the ball??
Please answer!!!
Yeah which part exactly
I have a Distribution Tutorial in Series 2 which will help with that! S2Ep13 I think!
@@ConorOKeefe do you think power is important in the technique you showed in that episode??
@@ConorOKeefe I have been told I have less power but when I try to hit under the ball with a backspin it is much better
The technique you showed in s2 ep13 had less backspin
I am just 15 which technique should try first starting out??
Well done Conor, always a good watch 👊
Thanks Matthew!
you the best! Im 17 and im playing in a first team so your videos really help me to find a way in my carreer
Thank you! That's brilliant, keep up the great work!
Conor O'Keefe i’m watching al of your vlogs and I even have the same training sessions as you
So glad you made this video! I'll use this drill next time!
Hope it helps!
Some great techniques there, Conor. Loving those half-volleys with both feet. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Tony!
man of purest skill
Thanks Zuzka!
Video i ve been waiting for🙏thanks
Thanks Spiros! Hope you enjoyed it mate!
Great vid bro your one of my favourite TH-camr and your so helpful
Thanks Daniel!
You should bring out some merch on your website and maybe even some gym and goalkeeper clothing and accessories
Will definitely be doing that at some point!
OMG was just thinking of doing distribution training next Tuesday! Wow thanks! Also your flexibility scares me haha the warm up where you kicked your legs so high up how even!
Ahah thanks mate, hope it helps! Lots of stretching!
Conor O'Keefe have been trying to but I struggle to even reach my toes!
Love from India bro ...
I feel your tips helpfull
Thank you!
Not sure if ur still checking but thank you so much for the video it helped me a lot from south korea 👊
Thank you, really glad that you have found it helpful!
I like this type of video as I'm 12 so I can improve on a lot. You have genuinely helped me with goalkeeping so thank you.
Thanks Oliver!
Far out, your distribution is brilliant
Thank you!!
Also love the new intro, quick and snappy. Love the ka glove feature. Can’t stand drawn out intros from other TH-camrs..
Thank you!
Appreciated the slow-mo shots on the left foot Conor. These technique vids usually neglect to show us lefties how to do it with detail!
Thanks Chelsie, appreciate that, really hope it helps!
Conner come to port vale honestly your an amazing keeper and we need one honesty u would fit in and we have new owners and stuff
Thanks Declan!
Conor O'Keefe it’s okay man honestly if I was u I would enquire about it your from Manchester so not far from u and honestly with u being a free agent they would snap you up any day. I could always put in a word for you but only will if u wanted me to.
Firstly, thank you for your superhero videos, hero ... Secondly, one of the best. 5 goalkeepers in the world for you😁😁🥅⚽🧤
Thanks Hessin!
You should go to ireland and play with shamrock rovers
Would love to!
Great video once again👍
Thank you!
Yet another outstanding vlog, Conor - your content has been such a godsend, particularly during lock down but needless to say I'm going to continuing following and using your content when we finally get back out there. Plyometrics programme also purchased & downloaded, so huge thanks for that as well! Am just about to share your distribution session with one of the Scotland U16 Girls gks whom I coach - she's been focusing a lot on her distribution during lock down as one of her key targets for improvement. My team Hearts have just appointed a new head coach & one of his first jobs will be to sign at least one, possibly two, gks - just sayin' Keep up the excellent work & thanks ever so much for everything again! You're an absolute star!
Thank you Mark! Thank you for all your support with everything to, it means the world.I hope the Programme is helpful - let me know what you think - and I hope the video helps with distribution for your GK!
And Hearts are a huge club, you never know! Thanks Mark
Great video 👍
Thanks Theo, hope you enjoyed it!
Today is a really good day my favorite TH-cam uploades (you) and its my birthday
happy birthday
Love it! Happy Birthday Oliwier, have a great day mate!
Mate i felt sad seeing the short intro...you'll definitely do big in the coming months ...
Thank you mate!
Unreal videos as always. Did it take you a long time developing the left footed kick outs ?
Thank you! Yes, been working on them for the last 5 years!
Hair always on point 👌🏻
Ahah love that, thanks Adrian!
@@ConorOKeefe no worries mate. When ever you get some time I sent a DM on Insta about J4K.
Love the content keep it up! 👌🏻
Hey conor o'keefe. I’m new here, and I have watched many of your videos👍🏻🙂. I will just say that you are a huge inspiration to me, and probably a lot of other persons🤩. Is there any videos you wold highly recommend🙌🏼. Hope I will see you in a very big club, because you really deserve it😁👏🏼. Sorry for my bad English💪🏼
Thank you so much mate, I really appreciate it!
Conor O'Keefe. Btw, I am interested of buying a par of Ka gloves🤩. I was wondering what cut You prefer🤔🙂
Thanks 🙏 Connor for the helpful vid some great tips it will really help me as a goalkeeper and hope you’re well
Thanks Daniel, I'm glad they help! Hope everything is good with you!
The dislike is Modern Goalkeeping
That guy is a clown
JREtekkz he does everything for camera
He broke a 12 year old boys arm it’s on TH-cam
@@alisonsargent5158 ik his name is billy Bob bracher
@@charliephillips4044 I know I just couldn’t be bothered to type that
"Wanted to pratice with you brother... Your tips and training are very helpful for us.. Love from India❤️
Thank you!
Thank you very much. The video was really helpful. Pls keep it up. Looking forward to get more football content from you
Thank you mate!
Come on!
Let’s get Conor to 30k subs!
Haha thanks Liam, we're pretty close!
@@ConorOKeefe not just 30, soon to be 100!!
Hugo really need to train this
Thanks its very good video
Thank you!
Strongly suggest you contact a few Scottish championship/league 1 sides as they will usually give you a trial. Can lead to bigger things too
Thank you Bradley!
This was so damn nice to watch even tho I am not a keepz..satisfaction man
Ahaha thank you!
Also I think it would be cool if u tried vanarama national league football
Would love to!
Try Barrow AFC, we’ve just been promoted and you could give Joel Dixon (ex sunderland) competition
Thanks for the great videos so far which I really enjoy!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them!
3:14 Conor, a tips right there. You should have your legs more narrow instead of a wide posision :)
Different keepers prefer different set positions! As long as you make the save, that’s the important thing
Help! Can some one please advise me, when I take goalkicks my ankle feels weak and therefore my kicks max out at 25 to 30 metres. What can i do to improve it?
Thanks
Keep practicing them! Focus on the technique first & build up!
@@ConorOKeefe thanks would be lovely if u could do a break down on exactly the techniques we should use when kicking long balls
Hey Nara. I myself am also a goalkeeper. If you are younger, sometimes it’s harder to get that power. My advice, although it’s not as common, is hit it almost on the big toe bone on the inside. Don’t toe punt it, but really focus on driving your foot through the ball, try not to just let your ankle flop. Really lock it.
Hi Connor your the best gk I know for improving on my goalkeeping and was wondering what gloves you would recommend for me and others
Thanks Henry! I wear Kaliaaer gloves, and they are brilliant for me. The link to them is in the description, and you can use the discount code OKEEFE to save money on them!
Thank you
What is the use of a half volley?
More power/distance in my experience!
Conor in what situations do you use half volleys?
For me personally, I can hit it further than the side volley, so I normally use it when going beyond the back line
tips for split saves?? like exercises, workouta
Stretching!
right now im working out on that while im home
Thanks for replying.
come to australia adelaide, hahahahaha
i wish you the best and i hope you get the best club. Good Luck from Reuben
Thank you Reuben!
Top notch technique, mate!!
Thanks mate!
Hi Conor I would like to ask when did you start doing gym sessions for goalkeeping as I have just started the last few weeks and was wondering what muscles are the most important to train? Would love to hear back!
Logan Baxter (obviously im no pro and I’m not Conor) However, I’ve been working out for the last 5 months and I find that the most important muscles to train are: calves, quads, hamstrings, forearms(for a strong wrist), and maybe abs.
Hi Logan, I have 2 full Gym Workout for Goalkeepers videos in Series 2 of Keeping Goals, that should be able to help you! Any questions let me know
@Conor O'Keefe thanks for the reply I will have a look, also I was wondering at what age you started working on your strength
@BaileyVH#28 thanks, I have been working on most of those muscles, I will keep this in mind
For me going by myself to a wall and hitting it with music making sure it's going a good distance
This is perfect cuz it's my only weakness
Great! Get practicing!
Do you feel like you’ve improved on your ball distribution since this comment?
Great video Conor, obviously the area of your foot you strike the ball with and where abouts you strike the ball will impact your kick, but when it comes to your run up angle do you believe there is a specific way or just whatever works for you
Thanks Harrison, I went into more depth on technique in the Distribution Tutorial in S2Ep13, give that a watch and hopefully it will help!
Do you have any tips on how to become fitter and how to improve running because my fitness is a weak point of my game and I struggle with running. Cheers
Run! The more you run, the more it will improve!
very useful thank you so much !
Thanks Riah!
Coner can you tell me how many session do you have and can you name them
I have a whole video on my training routine, give it a watch!
Conor i have asked for lockdown
What about distribution with throwing the ball?
Do you use similar drills when throwing the ball to team mates?
Yes, definitely, if that's what you want to work on!
Thank the lord this came in I don't wanna be letting me CB's take goalkicks.also con I'm 13 and I'm trying to get a glove sponser the one I'm looking at is pinnacle and I can try emailing them should I do it 😬 con
Thanks Vince! Hope it helps! And go for it, why not
@@ConorOKeefe thx con if I can't get one just keep working until I get one but I'm banned from football from my dad for a while so when I can play football again I'll do it
Hey conor,
Could you do a video on goalkeeper mentality and how to lead from the back ...I'm the captain of my team but I think I should be more vocal with my team, in other terms be able to communicate with my team...
Please make a video on this, thanks
Thanks mate, I will try to do one on this soon. Everyone leads in different ways, you should use the techniques that feel natural for you. But communication from the back is very important for all GKs!
@@ConorOKeefe thanks conor, I knew you'd see the comment and reply ... Thanks so much! Have a great day
tyler jj no problem, thank you, you too!
Do you have the goal kick distribution slow motion video?
Have a look at Series 2 Episode 13!
Connor Look At Pateborn In Germany They Are Probably Going Down And They Tend To Get Promoted When They Go Down
Thanks Anthony!
Conor O'Keefe NP Tried The Distribution Work Yesterday I Had Fun Doing It!!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty good at kicks out of my hands, half volleys, throws, people have even said I've got the best of them in my league, I just need to master the kicks off the ground, you have any more tips?
Have a look at the Goalkick Tutorial video that I did recently!
I really admire your symmetrical distribution! Come play to the Honduran National League hahaha!
Thank you!
He looks sort of different with the beard. It looks good, I think Conor should grow it out and keep it.
Ahah thank you!
@@ConorOKeefe I am thinking the Tim Howard, bald with a nice beard...lol
Try Atletico Ottawa- We are a keeper short and it could be a stepping stone to bigger clubs either here in North America or Europe
Thanks Sami!
I’ll try to apply this in midfield like pogba
What's the reason behind practicing side-/halfvolleys with your left foot?
I explained it at the end of the video! To help me to develop my symmetrical distribution
Try Bradford City
Whats the benefits of doing left foot side volleys?
Same as practicing left foot short passes or long passes! Can change if there's injury, able to switch sides if you're blocked on the right side, can use the natural spin of each side when needed etc
east grinstead town i think are looking for some players might need a gk just wondering
Thanks Lewis
If i am a young goal keeper in the us thinking about going pro would u suggest moving to a more soccer savy country vs staying and trying to make it in the US?
I can't say! Everyones situation is different. Be somewhere where you can improve, play and progress
Thanks for the tips! I’m going on a trial for my high school team soon, Crompton House. But I need tips on how to dive properly, I’m fine with diving low but not good at mid height and I can never do high dives, do you have any tips and drills for diving? As always, great vid!
Try and build up slowly, from the ground up. Start with diving & landing from your knees, then build it up to thrown services, then volleys, then shots. I will try and do a video on it soon!
Nice content
Thanks Olson!
You are best bro
Thanks mate!
Hey Conor what age did you start getting distance on your kicks? Love the videos. Thank you
I struggled for a long time, it improved when I was 14/15, but I was still only just hitting the half way line at 19. I worked on it alot after that to get it to the point I am now. I'll do a video on Goalkicks on the channel soon!
@@ConorOKeefe thanks Conor I know this is a year late 😂 Im still struggling with kicking, I'm only 5ft 2 and 14. I'm going against keepers who are anywhere from 5ft 8 to 6ft 2 and they can clear the halfway easy. I can get close to the half way line. We are using size 4 footballs at the moment but I'm sacred as we are going into size 5s at the end of the season. I really appreciate you responding to my last comment. Thank you very much. I don't know if you'll see this but if you do did you feel the same when you were younger and how did stay at the level you were at when you struggled with kicking? Thank you Conor
@@BraytheGK that’s the same with me when I was younger, I always struggled getting distance on my kicks. When I grew, I got more power & could kick further. Gym when I was older helped. But to be honest I only really improved my kicking when I was about 19, because that’s when I actually started practicing the technique, and getting lots of reps in to improve! But be patient, the distance will get there as you grow, just focus on getting the techniques right now!
@@ConorOKeefe thanks you very much. Love the videos as always
I have the somewhat of the technique down, but how do I get the power. And distance. I can get it atleast 30, 40 yards but I’m trying to push it out more.
I've got another Distribution Tutorial video which could help, and also a Distribution Training Programme on my website if you want more structured help with it!
@@ConorOKeefe thank you, I’ve also seen a lot of your other videos over that last couple of years, I’ve been applying your drills to my sessions and it’s help me become a better player. I’ve also seen the other video and have been applying the distribution drills to my work outs aswell
So I guess it’s just about the process of practicing it now
Hey conor did u earn when u were playing for europa point or was it just a club that you played for because you just wanted somewhere to start?
Yes I did, but not very much!
Hi Conor, thanks for the great video, I've got a question. Is the music you play copyright free or do you ask the owners if you can use it because I am starting my channel and it is a problem I am facing.
It's copyright free music. We use epidemic sounds, it's a good serivce for youtube channels!
I try to use my left foot as much as possible but am useless. 😅 A pass back I am happy to use it with the momentum of the ball but trying to take a goal kick with. 😵
Half volleys when practicing and no pressure I can hit them 9 times out of 10, but too scared to use them in matches, when I have in the past I usually end up slicing the ball or shanking it up in the air.
Keep practicing! And try to practice at match speed/intensity too, that will help when it comes to using it in games
@@ConorOKeefe The trouble is, I've tried to a few times, but the angle I run up to the ball and my actual run up feels really weird. It really shouldn't be that difficult. 🤣
What’s the purpose to left foot like y would u use that
Few different reasons - it opens up the pitch, meaning you can curve it or spin it whichever way suits. Or if you are struggling with injury with your right foot, you can always switch to your left!
I think you should go to England Scotland or Ireland because it is easier to get noticed
I was a goalkeeper when i was like 8 to about 15 but i startet to play as a striker instead beacuse it went to serious and i cried over every single mistake. But now im 22 and I play in Div5 but i dont like it and I miss goalkeeping. What should I do? ( I was a talent in goalkeeper they said).
Go for it! It's up to you, but I always say play where you enjoy the game the most!
The best
Thank you!
(Does only kicking)
Throwing “am I a joke to you”
Hahah neglected the throwing!! Very important technique that needs practice too!
loveing te vid keep it up also whats a relistic club to try ro join when your only u13
Thank you! Any club you can to play!
Espectacular
Gracias!
How was it like living abroad eg: Spain and Gibraltar
