FOOTBALL UEFA FA GK 'A' LEVEL COACHING STANDARDS Testimonials & Review’s I’ve known Metin since the 80’s when he was an enormously creative art director at Athena during the poster business heyday. His wide breadth of reference , endless energy and warm, engaging personality combined to make Metin a great creative partner. Metin has a great eye for composition , is technically adept and really knows how to put his subjects at ease. Former Licensing and Creative Director, Athena International Art Publishing “I have worked with the best photographers in the world and Metin is right up there with them in terms of creativity and talent.” Phil Hall, Former Editor of Hello! Magazine It was a true pleasure having Metin taking our wedding pictures. His work far exceeded our wildest expectations. The pictures look like a magazine shoot. We are so pleased with the result and will be able to treasure every moment thanks to Metin’s eye for details. Thank you for making our wedding day so much more special! Jasmin & Gianni We couldn’t recommend Metin highly enough.  He really went above and beyond to ensure all of the preparation and our day was captured perfectly. From the outset Metin ensured everything would go without a hitch, even going to meet with the vicar to discuss the shots and lighting, of his own accord!  We really felt in safe hands. Metin delivered an amazingly comprehensive library of shots, more than we had ever hoped for, that were easy for our friends and family to view and download without extra charge. He even provided colour balancing and retouching in both colour and black and white.  Just Amazing!  Metin was really great to work with.  He made us feel both at ease and incredibly confident in our choice.  He bought with him not only his great skill as a photographer but also his art directional eye which was a fantastic bonus and really made the shots feel unique. Nothing was too much trouble and he captured the emotion of the day perfectly.  We can’t recommend Metin highly enough.  Louise and Rupert I’ve known this talented man for around thirty years and I can honestly say that the man is a creative wonder. From art director in the old days, to a photographer now, his ability to think and act with imagination and clever observation is still very much who he is. David Hicks

    Top 5 Goalkeeping Coach Specialist Skills Comprehensive Technical Expertise: A specialist coach must have a deep understanding of core goalkeeping techniques, including handling, footwork, diving, shot-stopping, and dealing with crosses. They should be able to break down complex movements into teachable components and facilitate progressive skill development, from basic saves to advanced techniques like reaction saves and one-on-ones. Psychological Development & Mental Toughness: The goalkeeping position is mentally demanding, with immense pressure to perform under scrutiny and quickly recover from mistakes. A specialist coach needs skills to build mental resilience, confidence, focus, and concentration in their players, often by incorporating mental training exercises to help them maintain composure during high-stakes moments. Tactical Insight & Game Reading: Goalkeepers need a strong sense of positional awareness and the ability to read the game, which a coach must be able to teach effectively. This includes teaching the keeper when to come off their line, how to cut down angles, anticipate opponents' moves, and understand their role within the team's defensive and offensive strategies (e.g., as a "sweeper-keeper"). Position-Specific Physical Conditioning: The physical demands for goalkeepers are unique, requiring explosive power, agility, strength, and endurance. Coaches must design tailored training regimes that improve quickness, reaction time, jumping power, and overall durability specific to the movements required in goal, such as dynamic diving and jumping drills. Strong Communication and Leadership Skills: Goalkeepers are essentially the "coach on the field," responsible for organizing the defense and providing constant guidance to teammates. A specialist coach must model clear, concise, and assertive communication, teaching goalkeepers how to effectively direct their back line, build team chemistry, and take charge in critical situations.
