Dave Alred has been associated with top level sport for many years now, although is perhaps most famously known for his work with Jonny Wilkinson. GK Icon accepted that in today’s modern game it was important to recruit someone with a wealth of experience on the subject – so we recruited the very best.

"I’m delighted to be associated with GK Icon; I hope to pass on my knowledge on not only the kicking aspect of Goalkeeping but also the ability to perform to the very highest level under intense pressure".

Dave's principal role will be to present to the coaches associated with GK Icon prior to any coaching taking place. He says "I would like to try and convey my ethos of what it takes to be not only a very knowledgeable coach but a very productive one and believe me there is a difference.  It’s one thing knowing what an athlete is doing incorrectly, it’s quite another to be able to pass on that information in a way that will be accepted and acted upon. Not forgetting to mention a style of coaching that will get the best out of every individual that has made the decision to improve their game".

It seems that in Dave Alred, GK Icon has recruited far more than just a kicking coach and an addition we are incredibly excited about!
