Important to remember that taping fingers and wrists isn’t a substitution for doing the correct rehabilitation on injuries, or strengthening the areas that need it - and if a Dr or a Phsyio has given you exercises or specific supports/taping methods for your specific injury then you should listen to them first and foremost! But we hope this video helps you all nonetheless and Con will answer questions after his match 👌🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Today I had a match and in the warm up the ball hit my index finger akwardly. My finger was swollen and I remembered this technique that you showed to tape it up. It was the first time I've ever taped something on my hand. And it worked well. I would like to thank you, for making content like this. Keep up the good content and keep grinding.

Enjoyed seeing extra goalkeeper training. I wonder if it would be useful in the future if you did a voiceover on the training then you could explain the drills, what key goalkeeper skills they are using and how they relate to a match scenario. Personally I think that would be very useful for goalkeeper coaches and goalkeepers at different abilities. Enjoyed the Vlog (it’s coming home!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

I don’t like them myself, I find they make my hands too rigid. I like the gloves to feel like an extension of my hand, with natural movement. I did wear them when I was younger, as I felt they gave me a bit more support, but stopped around 14/15. But it’s all down to personal preference really!

Conor, does this taping technique also apply for thumbs? I was hit straight in the top of my thumb yesterday during the game and I wonder if it may help during recovery.

Hi Conor. After a sabbatical of 2 years due to an injury, I want to return in the goal. I broke my middlefinger 2 times.

Any tips on how to protect it?

@@ConorOKeefe Thanks...looking forward to it! One last Question: would you encourage young GK's to get out of goal and play in the field once in a while to improve their ball handling? Cheers.

what is this thing that you are taping?

I don't know if this is actually useful but I hated to always throw the tape away after using them and having to buy new tape rolls every other month. So I started using boxingband(don't know if that's the correct term). It is essentialy a long elastic with a wrist tap at the end. It works just as well, you just need to end the wristband beneath the wrist and of your gk gloves so that they don't bulk up. Would love to know what you guys think of this solution. As a side note I think taping/using boxing bands has more often to do with the mental side of things. I only use it in games(I don't even play as a football gk(yes of course sometimes with buddies) but regularry I am a handball gk). It is part of the ritual and puts you mentally in a more serious and confident headspace. Cause I think we all know that it doesn't matter if we taped up or not if we trained hard enough we will make the safe regardless of the accecoires.

@mateohusselin9998

Yes, making the saves isn't dictated by our accesories. But, reducing the risk of injury and strengthening your wrist/fingers with tape to avoid pain is a real benefit from taping. By this I mean that taping is not only for the mental purpose but mostly (at least for me) necessary to prevent finger injuries.

Hi mate, at 14 I wasn’t taking football extremely seriously. I trained probably three times a week, and had one game, maybe an extra game for school too. But at that age, if you want to go pro later, you can start to do a few extra training sessions to try and improve different areas of your game. But it shouldn’t be every single day, because you need time to do other things and have fun too!
