🔴🟡 Exactly 1 year after arriving in Ames, I’m leaving Iowa State. Matt took a punt on a guy in 2018. A couple of wins, some half-decent goalkeepers, 2 schools, 2 states, and countless memories made; I’m forever indebted to him for his trust and belief!
This past weekend we held our first
@weareangelcity
goalkeeping event! 11 of the best young gks from all over the country came to LA to experience a taster of how we operate. Thank you to those who came and the staff who made it possible!
Day 2: Made it to Ames, and got to show Dad around
@CycloneATH
! I miss this place dearly, but glad I got to share a small piece with my padre! What a special place! Today, onwards to Boulder, Co!
What an incredible club, with equally as incredible people. I was blessed to work with 4 great goalkeepers, and an incredible team & staff! Indebted to

I’m sorry for more than a few wayward strikes during warmups this year! I’ll be repaying you for this with a few construction hats to keep y’all safe 😂 see y’all in Seattle?
Nothing earth-shattering here 🌎! Being effective in your 4-yard goal & evaluating passing lanes and pressure!
Target goals & dummies = Immediate feedback
What a way to start a

@SeanMayer83
and see where I spent 2 great seasons! We are currently in southwest Illinois, heading to Ames, Iowa! 950 miles down; 2000 to go!
🤿 Deep diving into the 2023 season sessions!
I've grown to appreciate when the "rep" fails to elicit a save/action, there are likely rich coaching points to explore & unpack. Reshaping the groups' expectation that a save is the only qualifier for success is important!
We’ve a game at the same time as the euro final! So I’d appreciate it if nobody posted anything about the score, so I can watch it on demand after! Thanks 🤙🏼

As the NWSL season starts, good luck to all the ball catchers & kickers, set piece deliverers & finishers. Sad to not be a part of the magic this season, but I’ll be eagerly be watching these incredible people!
And duh, I’ll be pulling for the team in LA that wears pink!
📖: I’ve spent much of the time we’ve been on planes this year reading about different pedagogical approaches. The importance of immediate feedback has become apparent! Our group of 4 had been going out before practice and working on ball striking of their own volition [cont ➡️]
We learned a lot from season 1 to season 2! But the biggest; Language is key.
We had a plan, our team bought in, and our HC protected time in the week for us to spend both on film & on the grass, reinforcing principles & creating belief.
Integrated GK & team session.
I've been fortunate to work with head coaches who are incredibly accommodating. I wanted to maximize time on the grass, so had an extra line painted, moved a goal back and ran a GK session in the rest period between team phases.
Here building in:
Year 2 zinging balls with the worlds best.
Proud to have been a part of this historic year for
@weareangelcity
and the return of professional soccer to California.
best believe these women & this club are trailblazing in front of the worlds increasingly attentive eyes! 📈
The state of Michigan and D2 just gained one of the hardest working, loyal and talented coaches in the country.
@FSUWSO
, you got a great one. Congratulations
