Ron Corry to be appointed WSFC Goalkeeper Coach

Ron Corry is a quality signing. He is an absolute professional, and a knockabout Aussie. Will suit our club to a tee.

He's 70 years old

So is Sir Alex Ferguson. Whats your point? It's not as if he is running around out there playing for us.

A great asset to the club if iy can happen. The knowledge that he hs gained over the years is second to none here.

He's 70 years old

Your never too old to impart knowledge to the next generation of footballers.

I expect that Ron would be responsible for all goalkeepers in the insugural season and be heavily involved in the WSFC youth & development / academy program going forward.

popa may look to sign an ex team mate (currently employed elsewhere) as the Club' goalkeeping coach from year 2 onwards.

Can anyone enlighten my ignorance. Is he"old school" or quite modern in his approach and methods? Any idea the last time he went through a coaching course etc? Genuine questions, dont know the first thing about the bloke.

Click on the link in my recent post Matty and you'll be able to watch Ron's methodoligy in practice.

He's been working at the AIS.

He also had a couple of good pupils in Bosnich and Kalac.

Damn. Session two is brutal.

Thanks for that T. I'm not up with the latest techniques/methodology though. I assume from your comments and the fact he's worked in the AIS that Ron is as modern as the rest of them?

PS fantastic insight those videos, great resource

Confushus say - Your only as old as those your playing with.

He also had a couple of good pupils in Bosnich and Kalac.

Never heard of them.

Also runs his own Goalkeeper training business. He devises the programs. Very astute.

sounds good.

tbh dont know much about him, but if he has a good track record then that has to count for something

Sorry but this is not a great start. Corry is 2 days older than the Pope and despite knowlege etc he must be out there and doing his thing for first 2 years. Its ALL hands on deck in all Coaching capacity.

Very poor IMO

Stewballs, check out his training vids on Youtube. They are from last year. He's pretty bloody active.

Jim Frazer?

I'm pretty sure at one stage Jim Fraser and Ron Corry ran the Goalkeeper business together.

So is Sir Alex Ferguson. Whats your point? It's not as if he is running around out there playing for us.

I didn't mean it in a bad way. Just stating a fact.

Damn. Session two is brutal.

Alongside Jim Fraser and Fred Wall (RIP), Ron is one of the greatest goalkeeper coaches our country has ever seen.

Nice one.
