Coach Palomino

At the heart of my goalkeeper training is one belief: training must reflect the game.
I don’t design sessions for highlight reels — I design them to prepare keepers for the chaos, intensity, and pressure of real match moments.

With over 20 years of experience as both a goalkeeper and a coach, my mission is clear — to develop young goalkeepers into confident, complete, and game-ready players who can reach the collegiate or professional level.

My methodology is built around match-realistic training, replicating game scenarios that demand fast decisions, fearless reactions, and tactical awareness. Whether it’s commanding the box on crosses, closing down 1v1s with bravery, or making game-saving stops, every drill is crafted to sharpen the skills that win matches — not just impress in warmups.

We focus on:

  • Technical excellence in handling, footwork, and shot-stopping

  • Bravery and intelligence in 1v1 situations and preventing chances

  • Aerial dominance — collecting crosses with confidence and control

  • Distribution and foot skills for modern, ball-playing goalkeepers

  • Leadership and communication to organize the team and read the game

My goalkeepers are trained to own their space, think ahead, and rise in the biggest moments — not just participate, but influence outcomes.

I'm proud to hold:

  • United Soccer Coaches Goalkeeper Licenses Level 1, 2, and 3

  • A USSF "D" License

  • Membership in the International Goalkeeper Coaches Conference (IGCC)

This isn’t just training. It’s preparation for the next level.
If your goal is to go pro or play college soccer, we’ll train like it — every session, every rep, every save.

Let’s build goalkeepers who don’t just play the game — they define it.
