Design: Expert opinion from semi-structured interview, qualitative. Methods: The opinion of 15 professional goalkeeper coaches was gathered using a semi-structured interview. Fol- lowing transcription, a thematic content analysis was conducted to identify and analyse patterns within the data. Results: Several key considerations emerge that any coach should take into account. 1) When integrating a new goalkeeper into a club, it is essential to assess whether their profile aligns with the club's style of play and philos- ophy, 2) training should focus both on the goalkeeper's individual development and on preparing them for the challenges posed by upcoming opponents, and 3) coaches must recognise that they are working with individuals rather than a homogeneous group, making it essential to understand and respond to the unique needs of each goalkeeper. Conclusions: The findings suggested that selecting and training professional goalkeepers is a multifactorial pro- cess that requires considering technical, tactical, psychological, physical, playing style and organisational factors.Elsevier202620262025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/78450reponame:Addi.
