183: How Goalkeepers Can Change The Game With Elite Level Physical Performance

Science for Sport — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0100

Specifically Julia will be looking at:

Why goalkeepers are unique
How goalkeepers differ between sports
How goalkeepers in football can improve their physical performance

About Julia:

"Dr Julia West is a goalkeeper coach and a tutor in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Worcester. Julia is proud to have played for England Universities and achieved a high level of performance in the women’s game. This experience has laid the foundation for Julia’s coaching interest in all things goalkeeping. Early on, Julia realised there was little information specifically relating to the goalkeeper, their performance or their training. Many outfield coaches have bemoaned the lack of literature or guidance around coaching the goalkeeper and this has lead to a lack of specific goalkeeper coaching in many clubs. Therefore, through her coaching, research and dissemination, Julia has set out to redress this with a ‘something is better than nothing’ philosophy. However, if you are going to do ‘something’, then you might as well do a goalkeeper specific something."

Then Vitesse Arnhem was at the same location as the Olympic Committee, so I moved there for around 7 years, and met some really good coaches over there. One of them took me to Dubai to work with a team there as a Strength & Conditioning coach, and then I came back to work with Heerenveen in the same role. Then Peter Bosz, who I worked with at Vitesse called me, and asked whether I wanted to come and work at Bayer Leverkusen. I worked at Bayer 04 Leverkusen for 2 seasons before moving for just over a season to Olympique Lyon. Currently i’ve my got own company, TP Performance Coaching, and recently did consultancy work for Jumbo-Visma Roadcycling and a Premier League team. I'm currently waiting for the next big project."

The next step was a BSc at St Mary's University in London during which I was lucky enough to intern within the academies of both Norwich City Football Club and London Scottish Rugby Club. From there I interned for a short time at Peterborough United Football Club before moving to China to work with a 2nd and latterly 3rd division professional football club, during which time I studied for a PGCert at the University of Bedfordshire. Following this I moved to Dubai in the UAE to work with an (professional) U21 team for four years during which time I also worked for a brief period with a professional tennis player who played on the WTA. Upon my return to the UK I completed my MSc at the University of Worcester and now work as a Strength and Conditioning Coach for Bristol City and as a Physical Performance Coach on the FA's womens talent pathway."
