Soccer with Francisco Mederos

How I Will Help Goalkeepers Grow On and Off the Field With a foundation built through high-level playing experience at Kendall Coalition Academy and as a graduate of Columbus Soccer, I bring firsthand knowledge of the demands and expectations placed on modern goalkeepers. Having transitioned from competitive player to dedicated coach, I now focus on using my experience to guide the next generation of goalkeepers—especially those at the high school level—toward technical excellence, tactical awareness, and personal growth. Through structured, position-specific training, I help goalkeepers improve their: Shot-stopping and reflexes Footwork and handling technique Positioning and decision-making under pressure Distribution and confidence playing with their feet (a key trait for modern keepers) Leadership and communication with their backline More than just drills, I emphasize game understanding, mental toughness, and consistency—the qualities that separate good goalkeepers from great ones. Having coached at the high school level, I understand how to connect with young athletes and meet them where they are, while helping them develop habits and skills that prepare them for college-level soccer or any path they choose. Whether a keeper is aiming for the next level or simply wants to master their role, I tailor my coaching to fit their goals. My mission is not just to train goalkeepers—but to mentor them into confident, focused, and responsible athletes who are prepared for challenges both on and off the pitch.
