"I have been at the goalkeeping academy since I was 9 years old. It has improved my all round game by a significant amount through the years, pushing me on from weak keeper with fragile confidence, to a solid keeper who commands his area and brings out consistent performances every game. The range of sessions which are offered are unbelievable, as every session is adapted to the goalkeepers specific need in the academy. The training is relaxed in some senses but serious in other aspects, which makes you feel comfortable in your surroundings but brings out your competitive edge against your fellow keepers. This is the step up you need, if you want to make it as a professional goalkeeper. Without Woody's coaching and the whole general set up of the goalkeeping academy I wouldn't have been at clubs such as Bristol Rovers, Yate Town , Reading and Swindon Town . And I would certainly not be where I am today in confidence and ability."
