June brings me to my ninth month at GK Icon as a goalkeeper coach, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time there and continue to develop as a coach and find new ways to improve youth goalkeepers and apply scientific knowledge.
I was featured in a documentary with Sky Sports as part of GK Icon, and one of the sections highlighted the expensive nature of goalkeeper gloves.
Growing up as an outfield player, this is always something that I overlooked and according to Arsenal Women’s Goalkeeper Coach and GK Icon Owner Ian Biggadike, goalkeepers can go through 6-8 pairs of gloves per year.
As a way to combat this affordability issue, we offer discounts for all our players, for a range of the best gloves on the market, including:
- The One Glove
- AB1 [Asmir Begovic’s range]
- Kaliaeer Gloves [endorsed by Joe Hart]
The full documentary hosted by former England goalkeeper David James is available to watch now on Sky, David James: The One And Only.
