BEN DERBYSHIRE GK

Sky has been with Ben since her journey picking up football and deciding to give becoming a GK a go about 2 years now. He has been upfront and honest in his approach towards coaching helping get best out of each individual. He has the ability to read the individual and assess how to approach. Sky has fully enjoyed every session of group and individual regardless of how hard it has been as she knows he is only doing and pushing her to what she is capable of. He’s progressed with sky helping her journey through grassroots to play at Peterborough United and inspired a belief of a potential career in the sport. Ben has gone far beyond being just a coach as he has become a friend of sky and the family throughout a really tough situation over the last month or so. His continued support and commitment to contact and see how Sky is doing is testament to the bloke you are allowing your kids to learn from. I’d never turn back on not joining the #teambdgk with Sky and He is a true bloke to help progress the ability of budding goalkeepers of all ages

Luke has recently started training with Ben through this team within BUFC and even in the few sessions he’s attended he’s grown on confidence & ability. Goalkeeping is new to Luke this season and Ben is great at helping him to develop and brings out the best. Looking forward to watching Luke develop into 2023. Thank you.

Pippa has gone from strength to strength as a goalkeeper since she began training with Ben about two years ago, her courage and confidence is outstanding and that’s down to the training and encouragement she has received from Ben. She takes part in both girls and boys training as well as 1:1 sessions and gets something different from each one. If your child is interested in learning more about being a goalkeeper we’d strongly recommend Ben, his teaching style and encouragement really resonates with the kids and it’s so nice to see a training session where all the players pay attention and give their all! Pippa suffered a broken wrist whilst in goal and she now uses Ben’s gloves which give her so much more confidence and have helped her maintain her courageous saves! All of this confidence and skills learnt are put to good use as Pippa plays for her grassroots team as well as her school and Norwich City Development Team. And if you’re still not convinced, have a look at Ben’s Keeper Wars Tournament, what an amazing positive experience! #TeamBDGK #ThisGirlCan
