Our Christmas Clinic in Zaragoza led by Adrián Sanguino

What is the most important stage in training a goalkeeper in terms of basic technical and tactical fundamentals?

All of them. From the pre-junior stage to the youth stage. Training does not stop even after completing the aforementioned stages. Each stage has its charm. And seeing them progress is the greatest reward.

Adrián, speaking of training, how would you define yourself as a coach? How do you like your training sessions to be in our technical training sessions?

Demanding. Very demanding, but on myself. I make the most of the time, with passion and intensity. It's very tiring, but at the end of the session it's very rewarding. Ultimately, you have to adapt to the groups depending on their level, their personalities, etc. They themselves express their needs; you just have to know how to recognise them.

How has the start of the season been at Futbol Emotion Academy for goalkeepers, which you coordinate in Zaragoza?

Very nice, like all of them. The beginning is when you see each other again. And that's a joy. When the season ends, you leave with a certain melancholy that you don't feel in professional football. In the end, it's an educational experience, both athletically and personally. And that leaves a mark on them, to a greater or lesser extent. When you see them again at the beginning of the season, you see how much they've matured in such a short time.

Why would you recommend players to sign up for technical schools, clinics or camps like ours?

More than recommending it, it's about having a different experience. Just meeting teammates who share the same position and the same passion is a privilege. You learn from everyone, and that's what we must never lose: learning together. For me, being able to train such a diverse group of students provides me with invaluable learning. Imagine what it's like for them.

And finally, what advice would you give to all those boys and girls who are going to read your interview and who are just starting out?

When you go to training, smile.

At the end of the day, when you go to train and you go with enthusiasm, excitement and a smile, you learn.

And above all, you make the person in front of you's job easier. When a coach sees that they are enjoying themselves, he enjoys himself much more. It's the key ingredient for the ideal recipe. Thank you very much for your work, hugs, friends.
