We pride ourselves in giving as much detailed feedback as possible to our clients.

This takes place via zoom, and a coach will present a document that looks into the individuals game in detail.- Mindset Academy with John Johnstone

Testimonials
Each session was rewarding, especially in value for money the guys at PPAGK were never in a rush to finish sessions, they absolutely loved what they were doing and made sure they got the absolute best out of you.
I would highly recommend PPAGK and I will definitely be back working with them again!”

Jack Ruddy – 1st Team Goalkeeper
Since 2017 Robbie Thomson and his team have worked with my son as much twice a week with Lucas also attending the training camps during the holidays, not only have they developed Lucas immensely from a goalkeeping perspective, at PPA- GK a large part of their core values is dealing with Mind Set development of their respective clients, which Lucas has benefited greatly from over the last 12 months.
Lucas has had a couple of experiences at Pre Pro youth level before signing with St Johnstone Academy. His journey with PPA-GK continues.”

Ryan Adamson – 1st Team Goalkeeper
During this time, his own club coaches have seen a significant improvement in his handling, positioning, movement, distribution, communication and overall confidence. All sessions are well planned, challenging and most importantly, fun. Each session begins with a warm-up and exercises to assist in improving the goalkeepers’ flexibility, providing a knowledge of how to best look after their body.
I would highly recommend Pro Performance Goalkeeping Academy to any goalkeeper looking to learn and improve.”

Our Charity
We have recently partnered with the Chris Mitchell foundation and would like a donation link put on the site to their just giving page and an image of the charity’s badge. Also, some information that all our coaches have completed or are actively taking part in mental health first aid training to benefit all our clients and create the best environment possible for all involved. In return, we will do a number of fundraisers and contribute with donations to the charity throughout the year.
