Gary is joined by Michael Quinn, a former professional goalkeeper and lead author from Dublin City University, who has proven for the first time that goalkeepers perceive the world very differently from both outfield players and individuals with no football experience.
Their groundbreaking study - which has just been published in the international journal Current Biology - is just the start of the conversation for Michael, who feels like we are just scratching the surface on the world of goalkeeping development.
In this interview Michael discusses:

- Why cognitive load may impact goalkeeping
- What effect this will have at the highest level
- Ways that youth goalkeeping coaches can maximize their environment
Any much more!!
