I worked very closley with Dave during my time at Norwich City and his knowledge played a huge part in influencing my philosophies of goalkeeper development and my program sctruture for the goalkeepers at the club. The individual conditioning work he helped us with brought benefits that were extremely beneficial.

Both Dave and myself have a very similar approaches to coaching and development of athletes, the right work and hard work, there are no short cuts.

Dave has recently launched his website so people everywhere can benefit from his expertise.
