Phil Burns
Professional Goalkeeper Coach, Trainer, and Advisor
I am an Ex-Professional Soccer player (Goalkeeper) from England with a European drive and passion for helping coaches and athletes throughout the United States. I am currently the Director of Technical Services for GPS Soccer in Southern California and have previously coached at Albion SC, LA Galaxy San Diego, San Diego Sea lions, and the USD women’s soccer team. I have also worked for the US Women’s Soccer Federation providing scouting and conditioning services at many of their training facilities.
My Services
I provide coaching advice and goalkeeper training for coaches and players including elite soccer clubs & teams throughout the Southern California area. My hands-on experience along with my infectious personality creates a unique and inviting learning experience for my clients.
Goalkeeper Periodization
Goalkeeper Periodization is all about training and management of time. I believe it should be introduced with young goalkeepers since they have their whole playing carrier ahead of them.

Phil has taught me the game from a different perspective
Phil has taught me the game from a different perspective especially how to adjust on the fly and what things to look for on the attack. Many of the games we played had only 10 or 11 players however their confidence and their determination to win always prevailed as we went undefeated this season.
Phil would be an asset to any football/soccer environment.'
