Just4Keepers Coaches Testimonies
Please Note: That the below testimonies were written by coaches who manage our training. We also may have shortened the length of some of these testimonies.
Matt Gregg J4K Dublin
Since joining Just4KeepersI I have been able to enjoy a much better quality of life. I came out of pro-football and I am still playing a high standard of part-time football in the league of Ireland, but I had to work a 9-5 job while trying to compete against full-time players... this was just impossible for me.
Seven months ago I stumbled across J4K and noticed my old mate Ray Newland had been running this for 8 years, so I was straight on the phone to him and two days later I was on a plane going to see him.
After 5 minutes chatting to him, I just wanted to grab some balls and start coaching there and then!
But to be fair to Ray’s integrity, he never let me join J4K there and then, instead he pulled me back and made sure he explained everything in great detail so I was 100% sure that J4K could indeed help me.
I have been involved with J4K for 7 months now and already I have 90 keepers registered, earning me OVER 2000 a month in coaching fee's alone, (Please Note: This does not include other revenue streams J4K have set up for me!)
So I have to say thanks to Ray and J4K for this opportunity, I intend to make it a continued success for me and my family. And the massive bonus... there is no more 9-5 job for me! (I have resigned!)

Since deciding to join Just4Keepers Ray and Paula have been of great support to me. The main example of this is whenever I call Ray or Paula they always find the time to speak to me and go through everything that I may need to know. Also the support from the other coaches has been of help. Just emailing and asking for advice from fellow J4K coaches and they get back to you ASAP.
Also the way in which we are encouraged to run J4K is ideal in my opinion. Not being associated with any club is good as the kids are there first and for most to have fun, and if they develop into good keepers it's a bonus! Everything Ray told me before I put pen to paper has been spot on and he has kept his word on everything.
Colin McDonald (Ex-Scotland International)
Joining J4K has proven to be a winner for both my own and my families lives. The J4K team are not here for their own benefit.. they are here to help and inspire young keepers to be the best that they can be- and believe me when I say- one of the J4K goalkeepers will go on to play for the national side in years to come.
Scott Healey (Ex-Professional) & Ron Healey (Ex-Irish International)
Although we already ran a goalkeeping school, things just exploded when we joined J4K -using the business and marketing methods in the system, we fill new classes almost as soon as they start - what used to take 4 months we now do in 4 weeks with J4K!
Antony Dean J4K South Essex
Before joining Just4Keepers I was running my own Goalkeeping School, which after putting a lot of time, effort and money into it, it never really took off. I only had a small amount of pupils and struggled in advertising in the right places. I spent money on leaflets and advertising but never really got anywhere.
I decided to look on the Internet and came across Just4Keepers and very intrigued by their site. I could still run my own business with the help from others with business experience and also use a national business name.
I called the phone number advertised and arranged an appointment to visit Ray the J4K Founder to discuss my future prospects of working for J4K. I even invited the whole family, including my 2 Year Old Daughter and they made us feel right at home. We discussed all the possible avenues I could go down and I also compared my current Goalkeeper School with J4K, which was quite embarrassing!
After meeting Ray I went back home and decided this would be a great opportunity for me. From sorting all the paperwork side of things out it was only a couple of months before I was up and running properly, my amount of pupils doubled in its first month and I even got loads of free training equipment to get me started. I have been with J4K now about 4 months and things are always getting better. There are lots of team members around the UK with plenty of advice and new ideas to help everyone out. Everybody keeps in contact often so it's a great feeling knowing you are running your own business with all the support there if you need it and Ray is always available to help with peoples questions if need be.
I am looking forward to a very long a successful business relationship with J4K and my only advise is if anyone is interested to get in while you can before someone else takes your area.
Thanks J4K
Ross Harrower Scotland
Hi my name is Ross Harrower and i am the just4keepersScotland representative.
I teamed up with just4keepers last year and i know have a very well established and successful academy in Scotland.
This would not have been the case if it was not for founder of just4keepers Ray Newland.
The knowledge and experience of running a huge goalkeeping academy was clear when i first met Ray. A very honest and down to earth person who simply has a passion in goalkeeper coaching and loves to help people be very successful.
The support i have received from day one has been excellent. Always there to encourage you and advise you in every possible way, whether it be an email, phone call, letter or meeting.
Joining just4keepers has proved to be life changing for myself and family.

In my time as a Professional Football Player I have know many fly by night Goalkeeping Coaching Schools; the difference between Ray Newland and Just 4 Keepers Goalkeeping School is that Just 4 Keepers is here to stay!
I have known Ray Newland since we played together at Chester City Football Club and have always found him to be honest and reliable with a infectious passion for the game. When Ray approached me to get involved with J4K I didn't hesitate to join, the ethos behind this coaching school is second to none and is one that I firmly believe in as developing young people's talents for Goalkeeping is important and well as introducing the element of fun alongside this development.. I have played Professional Football for 20 years and non league football for a further 8 years and have a good reputation and therefore wouldn't put my name to something I didn't believe in.
The support I have received from both Ray and Paula, especially the administration side is second to none. Nothing seems to much trouble especially in the beginning when I was starting up in my area. If I had a problem they were only a phone call or email away. This is something that I have found invaluable and have appreciated. I would recommend any young person with an interest in Goalkeeping to come and join J4K, you won't be disappointed!

Joining J4K, looking back, has got to be one of the biggest and best decisions I've ever made. Myself and Ray sat down on many occasions, had many phone conversations, and shared the odd pint. At the time I got on board I had a full time job, accommodation etc, and leaving all that was going to be a massive step. Ray assured me that the support network within J4K would make sure the change and transition as smooth as possible.
At first i was skeptical, but he was right and very true to his word. My first month or so were an eye opener to say the least, problems with venues, weather, cars, you name it it went wrong, but with my 'never say die' attitude and Ray, Paula and the others coaches continued support available anytime online or over the phone all problems soon disappeared. Again this continues to this day and everyday spent with J4K. The ethics within the company are second to none.
All coaches have playing experience, are qualified, CRB checked and have the best interests of every single goalkeeper at heart and will go that extra mile for every single child or adult to achieve their potential in the most positive and rewarding way. Negativity has no place in J4K and goalkeeping alike. There's nothing more rewarding than to see a 'team' of goalkeepers working like a well oiled machine, learning and enjoying every minute of it! There's nothing better than the sounds of encouragement, seeing smiles on faces and hearing laughter on a football pitch.......so much better than the criticism, abusive language and win at all costs attitude that fills the sporting world these days. J4K isn't just a coaching school, its a positive life education, which will continue to grow and empower people to achieve their potential not only within football and goalkeeping, but life as a whole. Long may it continue and grow.
And Ray.....many thanks again.
