Just4Keepers Coach 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.

I became a Coach for Just4Keepers in July 2009 and started my first class with 8 kids attending.

I now have 8 classes across Shropshire, Mid and North East Wales and coach approx 60 kids a week.

My lifestyle has changed dramatically and Goalkeeper Coach is my full time role and title and the success of J4K has led me to become a part time GK coach at Shrewsbury Town and, most importantly, I am happy in my work, getting lots of job satisfaction, fresh air and have lost a stone and a half in the process.

Many thanks to Ray and Paula for their help and long may it continue.

Dave Bennet J4K Shropshire/Mid Wales

Since starting J4k in August this year I have not looked back. I have 4 classes already set up!

J4K has enabled me to resign from my sales role in Recruitment and concentrate 100% on coaching for J4K and has also led to me being approached by Shrewsbury Town FC to coach Keepers at their Centre of Excellence.

None of this would have been possible without the support I have received from Ray, Paula and the J4K team ... long may it continue.

Dave Bennet J4K Shropshire/Mid Wales

In January 2009 I was referred to Ray Newland at Just4Keepers. After contacting Ray I spoke over the phone a number of times and he invited me to Liverpool so that we could meet and he could explain exactly how J4K works.

After a lot of research and constant contact with Ray I decided to fly to England. Ray and his wife (Paula) welcomed me into their home and were absolutely brilliant. Ray explained how J4K would change my life and that J4K it not just your average coaching company, but is a lifestyle and it would change the course of my life forever. How right he was!

I have spoken to a number of the existing J4K coaches and they have all had the same pleasant experience as myself. The support you get from Ray and Paula is just the beginning, there are 50 other coaches prepared to advise and help whenever you may need it.

I would recommend J4K to any aspiring goalkeeper coach and would confidently say that no other goalkeeping school in the world could compare to J4K.

Shane Nienaber – J4K South Africa (Johannesburg)

After joining J4K I finally feel I am fulfilling my life's ambitions and use my passion for goalkeeping and helping young aspiring goalkeepers develop to drive me forwards. This process has been made all the more easier because of the dedication and help received from Ray and Paula, from our first meeting up in Liverpool I was made to feel at home and was warmed by the hospitality and honesty that they both showed. It made my decision to join J4K an easy one, if I was to some up J4K I would describe the team as one big family and that is a refreshing change in this day and age.

Its not all been plain sailing but with positive thinking and hard work I am starting to see the benefits, there is no better feeling than when you see your coaching and mentoring start to help and develop young children to become not only better goalkeepers but more importantly better people.

Jason Jamal - J4K North West London

Since joining J4k my self belief and confidence has grown massively and this is down to the support of Ray, Paula and other J4k coaches. With the help of J4k and my family J4k Surrey is growing and helping young keepers gain confidence and self belief in their ability as well as learning new things. I wish J4k was in Surrey when I was younger who knows where my playing career could of taken me. I look forward to working with J4k keepers and J4k for many more years to improve young goalkeepers all over the world.

Matt Nash - J4K Surrey

Since joining Just 4 Keepers I have had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented children and have enjoyed every hour rain or shine! It has been very rewarding to pass on some of the experience i have gained over my time in football and use a variety of techniques and training methods I have developed along the way. The support from Ray and the people at Just 4 Keepers has helped me every step of the way in starting J4K in my area and continue to keep it moving forward.

James Russell - J4K Hertfordshire

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!)

Matt Gregg J4K Dublin

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.

Ste Watson (J4K Newcastle)

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!

Colin McDonald (Ex-Scotland International)

Hi my name is Riccardo Greco and I am the Just4Keepers Canada representative, I teamed up with Just4Keepers two years ago and I now have a well established and successful school in Canada. This would not have been the case if it was not for founder of Just4Keepers Ray Newland.

Two and a half years ago I stumbled across Just4Keepers on the Internet and from that day on my life has never been the same. I remember my first emails to Ray they were very painful for me since I had no experience with computers so an email could take up to an hour to prepare. I remember asking him if we could talk on the phone and after a few weeks he agreed, that was the day that my family's life changed forever. After 5 minutes of talking to him, I just wanted to grab some balls and start coaching there and then! But that was not to be Ray kept me on that phone for over a year talking once a week about everything you could imagine. Fourteen months later I was on a plane to England to meet all the J4K Coaches and the founder of Just4Keepers Ray Newland, one week later we put pen to paper and the rest, as they say, is history.

It has not been an easy road creating the foundation in Canada for Just4Keepers, I have had to struggle working a full time job and working J4K in the evenings and weekends. Let me tell you that those were two tough years but I can honestly say that Ray was there every step of the way and trust me that there were some very bumpy roads throughout those two years. Ray showed me the kind of person he is honest, trustworthy and one hell of a businessman, I am happy to say that four months ago I quit my day job and went full time with Just4Keepers and to cap off the new year Ray has helped one of my Canadian boys secure a professional contract with a club in Scotland. So in closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ray and Paula for all of there never ending support.

Thank you

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

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.

Dave Felgate

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.

Will Smith
