2018: Visited West Ham’s Academy for one week.
Since then I kept envisioning myself working in England & at a Premier League club.
2022: offered a part time position at Crystal Palace
Believe in your visions & do everything possible to make them a reality ❤️
Football is beautiful. You work hard all week to either feel the pain of a defeat or the joy of a victory. 2 back to back wins & clean sheets. Let’s make it 3 on Tuesday 🤞🏽🧡

To those who got released this season:
Don’t give up. Find out where you struggled, dust yourself off & go again. Remember, it’s never about proving people/clubs wrong. It’ll always be about proving yourself right. Good luck ❤️

's Dashun Cooper believes he is ready for the next step in his goalkeeping coaching journey in England after gaining his Uefa B License last week
Every Cat 1-3 U21 team should play in a senior men’s league (step 3/4/5).
Playing U21s is cool for the sake of playing but it doesn’t fully prepare you for senior football
Something I’ve been thinking about over the last two weeks. When training cutbacks, do we dissect our training or coaching points towards different zones & outcomes?
Tons of quality in this group. Super happy to have been a part of it. Thanks to all the staff at
@ScottishFA
for their insight and delivery of the B Licence this year. Also dunno how I ended up in the middle. Might be cause of the smile 😁
Say what you want about him.
This man gave me an opportunity to express myself & work full time in a professional academy. Top man. Top coach. Top influence on me and my career.
Thanks for everything ❤️
Back home on December 18! I’ll be doing sessions and camps until I leave on Jan 1st.

U12s went undefeated & went without conceding in the group stage of a tournament & our U15 GK made his U18s debut
Great day for

& the GK Union 🔵 ⚪️ 🧤
We need to invest in local sports.
All the countries we play against go all out for their sport programs whether it’s cricket, football, athletics etc. No way we’ll get anywhere unless there’s a serious investment for local sport 🇧🇲
Whether you win or lose every week, top or bottom of the league; enjoy your football. Every minute on a pitch is sacred. Don’t take it for granted
Happy to fill in again last night for the 23s vs a very good Aldershot team 🧤
This guy that runs a goalkeeping academy just told a parent to take her son out of Academy football so he can train him 1 to 1 for two seasons. Seriously? 🚩 some of you 1 to 1 lot have lost the plot.
Although we got rained out today, we got a lot of work done in week 1 of our Christmas Training Camp. We go again on Wednesday for week 2! Merry Christmas! 🧤❤️
The roll & throw is the most under coached and underrated tool in regard to GK distribution. Forget about the side volley for a sec & teach your GKs how to roll & throw a ball effectively 🧤
Biggest lesson I’ve learned this season:
Control the controllables. Don’t waste any energy on things & outcomes that you can’t control.
It’s a massive waste of your energy that can’t be replaced.
Got this message today. Warms my heart when I get messages like this 🥲
Thank you to everybody that endorses & encourages our work at The Bermuda Goalkeeping Academy ❤️🧤
@Coach__Cooper
We said 2 years 😉 you get what you deserve in life in the end 🙏 you deserve everything that’s coming my man. Been a pleasure to share the dugout with you 🫶
Kid today: Coach you signed for Crystal Palace right?
Me: Yeah but it’s too far from Reading so I had to resign
Him: Oh cool, can you sign for Arsenal next please?
Me: I’ll see what I can do 😅
If only it were that easy 😭
I’ve developed this habit to come here every Saturday night after a good or a bad game. Whether I coach or play. Mainly to decompress, keep myself humble and reset for another brutal week 👋🏾
Don’t get it twisted. I love David Raya. Absolutely love him. Based my game off him last season. But you can’t tell me Ramsdale shouldn’t be playing for Arsenal
One year ago today:
Me: James great to meet you mate. I love you & love watching you play you’re amazing. We all love you, keep going 🔴
JWP: Ah thanks mate, means a lot, I really appreciate that 😃
Me: 🥹
