My name is Jan Splinter and I am 59 years old
Divorced and proud father of two wonderful daughters.
In addition to my passion for goalkeeping, I am a fanatic golfer.
I have been working as a professional goalkeeper trainer for more than 20 years, started with the amateurs and through the KNVB eventually ended up in professional football at Ajax and Almere City.
I have been active abroad in Italy, Greece, China, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia .
At this moment is am active as Head of Goalkeeper department for Mahd Academy in Saudi Arabia
During my football career I soon found out that I couldn't play football very well and ended up in goal, where I turned out to be perfectly at my place.
Even while playing football, I was attracted to the coaching profession.

Through my extensive experience in top-level football, I have gained a solid understanding of what does and does not work. Everyone has an opinion, and that's fine, but what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. It's important to discover what works best for you. I can help you build a framework and provide advice, but ultimately, you need to develop your own vision.
Personal Attributes:
Analytical: Capable of quickly and accurately assessing goalkeeper situations and developing tailored training methods in response.
Strong Communicator: Able to clearly and effectively convey complex techniques and strategies to goalkeepers of all ages and levels.
Motivator: Has a talent for inspiring and motivating goalkeepers to reach their full potential.
Innovative: Continuously seeks new methods and technologies to improve training and adapt to the latest developments in football.
Philosophy and Approach:
I believe that a good goalkeeper coach should not only focus on technical skills but also on the mental and tactical aspects of goalkeeping. I am convinced that every goalkeeper is unique and requires a personalized approach to perform at their best. Training sessions are intensive and focused on realistic game situations, ensuring that goalkeepers are always well-prepared when they step onto the field.
