TKI UNIVERSITY SPRING 2026
Time and time again we have heard coaches give the feedback to goalkeepers “You need to be a better student of the game.”
But what does that even look like? What does it look like to be more than just a shot-stopper? How do I decide where the most valuable pass is? What does it look like to protect the space in behind the backline? How do I regulate my emotions so that I can make rational decisions in high pressure situations?
We want to help you develop EVERY aspect of your game, including your technical application and your tactical understanding. We want to help you not just be able to dive and stop shots, but also teach you how to initiate the attack and develop effective methods to solve pressure with the ball at your feet. We want to help you efficiently communicate and organize your team, and help you to grow your mentality.
In order to help goalkeepers truly become “Students of the game”, we have created a fully virtual online school for goalkeeping, TKI University. TKI University is a 6 month course that will take place through January- June 2026. For the first time ever, we are offering 2 classes each to be capped to only 15 high school and college goalkeepers . Classes are live on Sunday evenings and will be recorded for those that have to miss.
This course is for serious goalkeepers who are committed to their continued development. Goalkeepers will be challenged to gain a deeper understanding of the position, work with other students to breakdown matches, study different types of goalkeepers, etc. If you are interested in joining one of our 2026 courses, please register below!
3 Meetings/Month
1 meeting will be a tactical call discussing goalkeeper principles of play
1 meeting will cover mental skills with Dr. Chris Ogunsami
1 meeting will be an optional ‘Lab’ where goalkeepers are able to bring individual game film for analysis.
