Elite shot-stopping isn't just reflex—it's movement precision, reaction timing, and decision speed. But until now, there was no easy way to measure these skills with objective precision.
No measurement of pre-shot movement
Guesswork in reaction time coaching
No feedback on multi-directional explosiveness
Wearables interfere with goalkeepers'natural movement
What Happens When You Give a FIFA Goalkeeping Instructor the Ledsreact Pro?
Thierry Barnerat, expert FIFA goalkeeper coach and video analyst of world-class goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (pictured), used the Ledsreact Pro to challenge goalkeepers with game-like reactive drills—capturing every movement with radar precision.
8 Reactive Goalkeeper Drills, Measured Like Never Before
The session started with a radar-tracked agility box warmup—designed to activate multi-directional explosiveness and decision speed.
From there, we progressed to 8 sport-specific goalkeeper challenges that mimicked real match demands.
Agility Box Warmup
Explosiveness, Decision Speed
Reactive Dive - Left
Reaction Time, Dive Speed
Reactive Dive - Right
Reaction Time, Dive Speed
Cross Interception
Movement Speed, Jump Height
Point-Blank Save
Reaction Time, Hand Speed
Distribution Speed
Release Time, Accuracy
Come-Out & Smother
Closing Speed, Decision Making
Penalty Shot Simulation
Anticipation, Reaction Time
Wearables Don't Belong on Goalkeepers.
Radar Solves That.
Unlike GPS, timing gates, or camera-based systems, Ledsreact Pro uses 6 Swiss-engineered radar units to:
Measure movement from the first millisecond
Track real-time reaction speed and velocity curves
Eliminate false starts, sensor drift, or missed triggers
Work indoor or outdoor in all weather
Insights for Coaches & Players: A Data-Driven Transformation
This wasn't just a cool demo—it was a data-driven transformation of goalkeeper training.
- Understand individual reaction profiles and asymmetries.
- Identify inefficiencies in footwork and decision latency.
- Personalize training intensity using real, objective metrics.
- Benchmark keepers against elite reference data and track progress.
Just like major sports leagues (NFL, NBA, ...) have their "combine drills", we are working with Thierry Barnerat on a goalkeeper-specific combine of standardized tests. Want to stay in the loop and be the first to know? Fill in your email address.
