The goalkeeper Spin Recovery Technique has never been part of the English programs, as result, it has been rejected by most programs in the US. However, this technique has been around for MANY years.” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”fade” animation_direction=”up” animation_speed=”1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][/tagline_box][fusion_text]This technique is finally getting lots of attention in Europe & the US because of the large amount of Latin American Players who play professionally all over the world.  The South American goalkeepers are not known for their HEIGHT & MASSIVE BODY BUILT but they are known for their athletic abilities, speed and power which is needed in the MODERN SOCCER GAME. As result, European football programs are now trying to use the spin recovery technique and slowly influencing soccer programs in the US. The Spin Recovery has been used by South Americans Goalkeepers for more than 70+ years. So this is NOT A NEW CONCEPT.  In fact, ZPro Futbol Goalkeeper training program is currently the only goalkeeper program who EMPHASIZE the spin recovery technique and makes it MANDATORY in our trainings. This technique has been used by many of us at the professional level but we used it since we were young kids with LITTLE to NO INSTRUCTIONS at all. The goalkeeper spin recovery technique is a very NATURAL HUMAN MOVEMENT which all of us has been doing since BIRTH, just observe a toddler recovering when he is on his back, he will simulate a spin recovery to stand up, so there is really no MAGIC about this technique, it is simply a natural move for a goalkeeper.

Why use the spin recovery technique?

This technique is indisputably the FASTEST way to recover off the ground when the ball changes directions suddenly.  Furthermore, it is a move that will help you defend the rebounds and it is certainly a technique that will increase your SPEED in case you have two or three shots in a row. Short goalkeepers will benefit from this recovery technique because they can move swiftly across the goal but TALL goalkeepers simply LOVE this technique because it requires very little effort to get up specially if you are a keeper with long legs. Since this goalkeeper spin recovery technique is NOT taught by English Programs then naturally the US soccer programs will avoid this technique as well. Some goalkeeper coaches even get upset if any goalkeeper uses this move during their trainings. Currently, there are many LOCAL youth clubs goalkeeper coaches, colleges & even Professionals who DON’T KNOW HOW TO TEACH The spin recovery because they’ve NEVER USED it themselves as players nor they were taught to do this, so it will be nearly impossible for them to teach this properly. The video on this blog shows you a step-by-step spin recovery technique. Keep in mind, that this technique will take you sometime to learn, specially if you have been training under goalkeeper programs & coaches who prohibit the spin recovery. At least in Colorado, most youth club programs do not encourage the spin recovery. This spin recovery is all about the RHYTHM, MOMENTUM & EXPLOSIVENESS off the ground, this is why is very important that you work with a coach who’ve used this during his/her ENTIRE career and not a coach who learned this of a YOUTUBE video. I have personally discovered videos and coaches trying to explain the spin moves and it is clear they are new to this concepts. In conclusion, There is NO question that if a goalkeeper wants to survive the modern game, they will have to learn The Spin Recovery Technique. Field players are moving fast, even balls are designed to beat a goalkeeper. So those programs and coaches who reject, criticize and avoid this technique are far from understanding the modern game and modern goalkeeper. ZPro Futbol will continue to teach ANY student involved in our programs this technique and will do it for years to come, not because of our South American background but the Goalkeeper Spin Recovery is simply a powerful tool today and has been used for over 70 years, so it works!!![/fusion_text][/two_third][one_third last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][youtube id=”https://youtu.be/8EA2b6rTx74″ width=”550″ height=”350″ autoplay=”yes” api_params=”&rel=0″ class=””][/youtube][/one_third][person name=”Zuriel Lozano” title=”International Goalkeeper coach, MS Sport & Health Science” picture=”” pic_link=”” linktarget=”_self” pic_style=”none” hover_type=”none” background_color=”” content_alignment=”” pic_style_color=”” pic_bordersize=”” pic_bordercolor=”” pic_borderradius=”” icon_position=”bottom” social_icon_boxed=”yes” social_icon_boxed_radius=”” social_icon_colors=”” social_icon_boxed_colors=”0C5EF4″ social_icon_tooltip=”bottom” email=”[email protected]” facebook=”https://www.facebook.com/zuriel.z.lozano” twitter=”https://twitter.com/zuriel_lozano” instagram=”https://www.instagram.com/zlozano4/” dribbble=”” google=”” linkedin=”https://www.linkedin.com/in/zlozano/” blogger=”” tumblr=”” reddit=”” yahoo=”” deviantart=”” vimeo=”” youtube=”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLTigzU_HaQgLrQD3DFOSFw” pinterest=”” rss=”” digg=”” flickr=”” forrst=”” myspace=”” skype=”” paypal=”” dropbox=”” soundcloud=”” vk=”” class=”” id=””]Coach-blogger-speaker-Mental coach[/person][separator style_type=”double” top_margin=”40″ bottom_margin=”” sep_color=”#1e73be” border_size=”1.1″ icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” class=”” id=””][blog number_posts=”3″ offset=”” cat_slug=”mental-goalkeeping” exclude_cats=”” show_title=”yes” title_link=”yes” thumbnail=”yes” excerpt=”yes” excerpt_length=”37″ meta_all=”no” meta_author=”yes” meta_categories=”no” meta_comments=”no” meta_date=”no” meta_link=”yes” meta_tags=”no” paging=”no” scrolling=”load_more_button” strip_html=”yes” blog_grid_columns=”3″ blog_grid_column_spacing=”40″ layout=”medium alternate” class=”” id=””][/blog]
