Want to get good at finding that man in the pocket in the last play of the game? Work this drill into your kicking practice. Add trajectory progression by drilling a lower harder kick into the goal without a hop. Watch out for my Murphy’s Kicking tee review next week.

Not for the faint hearted!! ⛰️ Epic day of hillwalking with Dee. Starting from Delphi we went in a big loop taking in 5 peaks including Mweelrea. Over 21km and 7.5 hours, this one was billed as “extremely challenging” and by God it was!! Loved it. ❤️

If you want to get your keepers used to pulling the trigger on a direct ball to a player in space, use my “Kickout Cage” drill. Curtail the keeper’s run up with a 1.5 metre arc of poles/cones so the focus is on speed, power & accuracy through technique. Best of luck 👍

Don’t limit yourself to one kicking tee, even on game day. The wind, conditions, strategy, how you’re feeling physically and how the kicks are going all have a bearing and it’s great to have options. Practice with them all, it could pay dividends. 👏 🧡💛💙Murphy’s Kicking Tees

The reason I follow Spurs and the reason I fell in love with goalkeeping. Thinking of Ray Clemence tonight. Hope he’s looking down with pride.

I attached a tracer to my lead foot in two penalties to show how you can push hard on the “accelerator” to cover more area in the dive or actually not push at all to get down to the low one. PS I know I snuck off my line a hair but the ref didn’t see!! 😂

Gaelic football goalkeepers move differently to outfielders and it’s important to a) understand the types of movement and b) practice it in a controlled way. The body will adapt, the muscles will remember, you will speed up, and this could win your team the game. Best of luck. D

This man tonight was sensational for Mayo. Created 1-2 that no one else could from nowhere and made a terrific block and turnover in front of the stand. What an impact. His run for the penalty was incredible. Nothing looked on when he took possession. Take a bow Davitt Neary.
