It was also a year in which their goalkeeper, Adin Brown, grew into becoming one of the league’s most effective shot stoppers. This improvement came a result of the vast array of goalkeeping drills and training exercises practiced by Murphy and Brown on the training pitch; the full details of which you can discover in Full Season Goalkeeper Training Program.

Starting from preseason tours of Brazil and Portugal through to charting the entire nine month MLS season, this is a must for goalkeepers and coaches wishing to see what it takes to coach a goalkeeper throughout an entire season.
“I think the book was a terrific resource for not only helping to show the balance between the separate technical work the GK should be doing, but then how to have that carry over into the team training.
What I took from the book and will incorporate into my teams, is the balance and scope of what is needed both technically and tactically for the GK to perform within the team and have success. A great resource to take into pre-season with a ton of great ideas and activities for the GKs to be doing technically along with a great look onto how the GK is incorporated into team activities building toward the season and what the team is currently training. Another great book and resource!!”

“A comprehensive goalkeeper training program that took New England Revolution all the way to the 2002 MLS Cup Final”
During the 2002 season John Murphy was instrumental in creating one of the league’s toughest defenses. This grew from both his modern philosophy on the role of the goalkeeper and his soccer drills tailored for goalkeepers. Championships and cups are won with solid group defending, and it’s this ethos that comes through in the extensive array of training exercises and observations in Full Season Goalkeeper Training Program.
During the 2002 season New England Revolution earned the lowest goals against average during the playoffs and two individual call ups to the national team. This came from having defenders that knew how to work cohesively with the goalkeeper to create a tight defensive unit.
Too often, goalkeepers are trained in isolation due to the unique nature of their position. But there are many benefits to training goalkeepers with the outfield, including improved team spirit, a closer understanding between the goalkeeper and defenders and improved goalkeeper performance from practicing a wider variety of drills that replicate real game pressure.
Full Season Goalkeeper Training Program features over 100 pages of warm-ups, soccer drills and small sided games that incorporate the goalkeeper into team training. This means that as well as gain an inside look at how professional goalkeepers train and prepare for matches over an entire season, Full Season Goalkeeper Program will show you how to train the entire team to become a more cohesive unit that concedes fewer goals and can win more games.
“One of the MLS’ top coaching assistants and an instrumental force on the sidelines for 2002 MLS Coach of the Year Steve Nicol”
Over the last two decades, John Murphy has coached at all levels of the game.
Murphy’s professional coaching career started at Massasoit CC (MA) and Brown
University (RI) before progressing to become Head Coach at Assumption College (MA). During his tenure at these teams all three won championships, with Murphy being awarded six all-league or regional Coach of the Year awards, along with two NSCAA National Coach of the Year nominations (1994 and 2000).
Murphy then took the step up to the MLS, helping the New England Revolution to qualify for three playoffs (2000, 2002, and 2003), win the 2002 Eastern Conference Championship and qualify for the 2003 CONCACAF Champions Cup. In 2004, Murphy then left to coach at the Columbus Crew, assisting the team to win the MLS Supporter’s Shield and the Eastern Conference Championship, with the second best goals per game average in the league. Murphy was also on the staff of two different coaches that won MLS Coach of the Year awards, namely Steve Nicol in 2002 and Greg Andrulis in 2004. From 2005 to 2008, Murphy moved to become Assistant Coach and Director of Player Development at the Colorado Rapids.
In 2009 John became the first American born coach to work in British football when he joined Livingston FC of the Scottish 1st Division. While serving as head coach for two months, John oversaw a dramatic 2–1 victory over English Championship side Plymouth-Argyle.

“This goalkeeping book is an important part of my coaching library. It’s an excellent manual for both full-time goalkeeper coaches and field coaches without a dedicated goalkeeper specialist.
Although the manual illustrates a full season of training plans for a Major League Soccer team, each exercise can be easily adapted for any skill or age level. It also gives a behind the scenes look at the preparation, trials and tribulations of a professional team, its coaches and the training of its keepers. A read that I certainly recommend!”
Rob Parker is currently the goalkeeper coach for the Union College (NY) Women’s Soccer program. He has been training and coaching keepers at the collegiate level for 15 years and the youth level for 20 years.
