  • End of the line....

    Had two sessions in the past 5 days (last Thursday, and Monday), and I can honestly say I am beat! I have tendonitis in both feet, and it really took a toll this week. Last Thursday was our last session with Buschy, and he made it fun yet imformative...

  • Making good progress

    I thought tonight was by far my best showing. I felt light on my feet, and my hands were pretty quick. I was able to use my footwork more tonight, and felt my steps were quicker and lighter for sure. I am still having some problems pushing off my left...

  • Footwork, and the NSCAA

    Well tonight was better, but I am still relying on diving more than I should. I am focussing on improving my footwork first and foremost. As tonight went on, it did get better, but I still let in a few I was not happy with. Andy Gruenebaum (goalkeeper...

  • Unlearning Bad Habits

    I apologize for no blogs...I have really been at a loss for words lately. I will have an updated weekly blog for at least the next 6 weeks covering the NSCAA convention, and my current GK training with Buschy. So I am in awful awful shape, and I am not...

  • My Favorite time of year…..

    My Favorite time of year….. With the start of the EPL season, I find myself in a euphoric state of mind. Is there really anything better than this time of the year? All of the Big European leagues have started, or about to, and that feeling is in there...

  • Chewie's Crystal Ball

    So what will the future bring in regards to Football/Soccer equipment….Well I have given this a lot of thought, and here are my predictions. 1. Gloves: I think there will be a continued push to design Fingerprotection style gloves, but with a twist. I...

  • Horrible equipment gimics

    I first apologize for the time between blogs...no excuse...Every year I get more an more excited for what the equipment companies pass off as the latest and greatest ideas in football gear. Her are some of the WORST ideas ever! Brine QED: Really? A split...

  • Make or Break year for MLS?

    Well this is the year MLS will either start a new chapter in North American Professional soccer, or will begin its decent into obscurity. I know there is probably some middle ground the MLS could occupy in the fabric of American professional sports, but...

  • Weekend Internationals

    Why are England so poor? I mean, you look at that lineup, and half of the players could play anywhere in the world. Lampard and Gerrard are probably two of the best players I have ever watched play for their respective clubs...Rooney is a maniac, and...

  • I wash my hands of the Columbus Crew (especially that fat *** Sigi Schmid).

    There was not a happier day for me in my Soccer Supporter life than the opening day of MLS in 1996. My Beloved crew beat DC united 4-2 on two goals from Brian Mcbride...I have been a ticket holder for the crew ever since. Some years good, but most bad...

  • Chewie's Hot or Not list...

    Chewie’s hot or not list…. I love this time of year. Seeing tons and tons of new football/soccer products always puts a big fat smile on my face. Here is a rundown of what I like, and what I do not like so much so far this year: Hot…...

  • What I want in 2007

    Here is what I want to see in 2007: US national team actually hires a high profile foreign coach to take us to the next level. Bradley will not get it done, and we need a new perspective. Someone who has a high level of tactical experience, and someone...

  • Fav's and Duds of 2006

    Ok, we are at the end of the year, and I thought I would list some of my favorite products I have used this year, and also some of the duds I tried. Favorite retail glove of the year….. Sells Contour supersoft from Great-Save….I will do...

  • You might be a goalkeeper if.....

    What makes a good goalkeeper? I often wonder how so many different types of athletes end up as world-class goalkeepers. What do they do different from one another? What qualities, if any, do all good goalkeepers share with one another? I came up with...

  • Choices

    Too Many Choices…..When I was goalkeeper in my earlier years we were not spoiled for choice when it came to anything soccer….We had limited choices in shoes, shirts, and most of all gloves. I find myself agonizing over glove choices now...
