What is a TC1 Mentorship Program?
Our Mentorship Program is designed for goalkeepers across the Gold Coast and Brisbane who are serious about taking their game to the next level. The program combines multiple coaching aids to provide complete player development. Each goalkeeper will receive the following through out the week-
- ON FIELD PRIVATE/ SMALL GROUP SESSION- 1 or 2 Private sessions with your chosen coach per week (45 mins long).
- GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP- This will be done upon your first sign up to the program. Mapping out your reason for signing up and how we are going to get to the end goal.
- GAME/ TRAINING ANALYSIS- This will allow us to see if the work on this pitch is being transferred to game scenarios. We will create feedback forms every game with positive attributes and areas for improvement.
- DIGITAL CV- We will create a digital CV for you to use when applying for trials, overseas opportunities, etc. This will be done at the end of your program
- 24/7 SUPPORT- We will be on hand all hours of the day through WhatsApp, Email and Phone calls to help guide you through your footballing journey
At TC1, we focus on long-term growth — helping goalkeepers build consistency, confidence, and high level performance both on and off the pitch. We aim to give trustworthy guidance, tailored to the individual goals.
ON FIELD PRIVATE SESSIONS:
During the private based sessions, they will be designed to fast tract personalised development. They are vital for goalkeepers as it allows us to refine technical skills in controlled and match realistic scenarios.
At TC1, we’re big believers in combining CONTROLLED and MATCH REALISTIC sessions to create complete goalkeepers. Controlled sessions allow us to focus on technical detail and repetition, helping goalkeepers master the fundamentals with high-quality reps. Match-realistic scenarios then challenge decision-making, positioning, and game understanding — bridging the gap between training and performance on match day.
GOAL SETTING WORKSHOP:
Goal-setting workshops are an essential part of our mentorship program, helping goalkeepers take ownership of their development both on and off the pitch. At the beginning of the program, each goalkeeper will sit down with Tom Collins for a one-on-one meeting to discuss what they want to achieve on a technical, tactical, and club/ personal level. Together, we’ll set clear, realistic targets and create a plan to reach them. Throughout the season, we’ll hold regular check-ins to review progress, adjust goals where needed, and ensure every goalkeeper stays accountable and motivated towards continual improvement.
GAME/ TRAINING ANALYSIS:
As part of the mentorship program, each goalkeeper will receive comprehensive game and training analysis throughout the season. After a weekend match, players will send clips to our coaches. We will review all key actions — including positive and negative decision-making moments. Coaches will provide detailed comments on each clip, highlighting what was done well and where improvements can be made.
We’ll also record a handful of training sessions throughout the program, allowing goalkeepers to watch back their performances and focus on the finer technical details that can make a big difference in games. This combination of game and training analysis ensures every goalkeeper receives personalised, actionable feedback, building a clear link between training, performance, and progression.
DIGITAL CV:
At the end of the season, each goalkeeper will receive a Digital CV featuring all of their best highlights and key moments from the year. This professional highlight package showcases their strengths, technical ability, and development across the season. The Digital CV can be used to send to clubs for trials, share with scouts, or apply for international college programs, giving goalkeepers a polished and professional way to present their football journey and achievements.

24/7 SUPPORT:
As part of our commitment to each goalkeeper’s development, we also provide 24/7 support via WhatsApp and email. This allows players to stay connected with their coach throughout the week, ask questions, discuss performances, or seek advice at any time. Whether it’s feedback after a game, guidance before training, or support with mindset and preparation, our team is always available to ensure every goalkeeper feels supported and confident throughout their journey.
