Training to Train
This program is being offered to players who have decided they want to become a goalkeeper. It is a perfect setting for the goalkeeper to be introduced to the fundamental saves, footwork and distribution skills required to make while playing in this unique position.
This program is designed to continue the development in the areas of technique but also introduce a more regimented approach to one’s training. GKs will be expected to perform training exercises at home, along with completing home assignments based on the game.
This program is a very specific and demanding program. The main focus is on advanced goalkeeping skills, as well as, dry land training, weight lifting, plyometric training and a home training regiment that must be followed. Goalkeepers must be interviewed for acceptance.

A Mother’s Point Of View "!Josette!Senecal!!!/!!2010!
We first met Tania at Ottawa University for an assessment and my son Chad was a 12 year old, tall skinny kid with hair too long to see. Having had no prior formal keeper training, we were both apprehensive. We had heard that Tania was not for the faint of heart. After one hour, Chad was invited to the Golden Gloves Academy and Tania recommended him to the coach of the R5 program. Tania did not mince words. She told Chad that not only was he younger than the other participants, but he was behind the eight ball in terms of training and he would have to work very hard to catch up. But she saw talent, coach ability and a willingness to work hard; and Tania demands nothing less. After four years of watching Tania work, I can in fact tell you that if you are faint of heart, the Golden Gloves Academy may not be for you. But if you are a talented keeper wanting to get to the top of your game and willing to work hard, that’s the place to be. She will push you harder than you ever expected, both physically and mentally. But as hard as she makes her students work, you know she’s working just as hard. In every session, she analyzes each keeper’s technical and tactical mistakes and takes the time to correct them, every other keeper benefiting from the other’s mistakes. I would say that Tania’s biggest strength is her passion for the game, passion for her students and most of all her passion for success. Not her success, but the success of her prodigies. When a student of hers reaches a milestone, she beams with pride for them…. and then makes them work even harder (if that’s possible!). I won’t lie, there were times when Chad was younger, and he came home beaten both physically and mentally. The training is hard. But not once did he ever say, “I don’t want to go to training tonight”. And to this day, even if he’s training twice a day already, he won’t miss a session unless it conflicts with club training. Having said how tough she is, I can also speak to her caring and nurturing side. When Chad was 12 and with the R5 program, he had had a particularly bad session. And like every elite athlete who’s hard on one self he had a bit of a meltdown. Tania spent a long time sitting on the ground talking to him. What amazed me the most about that episode was that she was able to console him without letting him feel sorry for him and made him even hungrier to work harder! At 14, Chad was invited to West Ham United in England for a trial. At 15, he participated in a couple of College training camps in the United States. Everywhere he’s been, the comments were the same that technically and tactically he was ahead of the 17-20 year olds he trained with. Today, Chad has been invited to join the Toronto F.C. Academy. He owes a big part of his success to Tania and the Golden Gloves Academy. I can’t say enough about it.
