Built for goalkeepers at club, college, and professional level · Launching soon

Train. Measure. Improve.

KeeperLab measures the goalkeeper two ways: how well they perform, and how much work their body takes on. Real data. Verified profiles. One measurement standard for both.

The Problem

Goalkeepers are the most under-measured athletes in soccer

Coaches watch. Parents hope. Clubs guess.
  • Evaluation runs on perception. Coach opinion stands in for objective data, which creates selection bias and wasted potential.
  • The record rarely travels with the athlete. Most developing keepers have no portable, verified performance record for trials, academies, and recruitment.
  • Repetitions are rarely tracked. Most keepers train without a baseline, benchmarks, or measurable progression over time.
  • Families cannot see a return. Private coaching, camps, and equipment produce no quantifiable ROI.
  • GPS says little about a keeper's work. Clubs track outfield players with GPS, but a goalkeeper barely runs. Their load is kicks, dives, and jumps.

Mission & Vision

Why KeeperLab exists

To deliver precision biomechanics and verified performance data to every goalkeeper who earns it.

Goalkeepers are the most scrutinized athletes on the field and the least measured. That gap ends here.

KeeperLab was built because of a father watching his son train with elite coaches at Sockers FC, one of the top MLS NEXT academies in the country, who could not produce a single verifiable number to show a scout. That gap, between what coaches know and what they can prove, between the work athletes put in and the record they carry out, is the problem KeeperLab was built to close.

The vision: make the verified goalkeeper profile the universal standard for athlete development and recruitment, from youth academies to MLS NEXT to professional clubs worldwide.

Two Tracks

One goalkeeper. Two sets of numbers.

Performance tells you how good the keeper is. KeepnTHim Safe tells you what the work is asking of their body. The goal is a digital twin of the goalkeeper.

Track 1 · Performance

KeeperLab Performance

The question

How good is this keeper, in numbers?

What it measures
  • Reaction Latencyms
  • Diving Velocitym/s
  • Launch ForceN·s
  • Positioning GradeA to F
  • Distribution PowerJ
  • Recovery Times
Who uses it

Athletes and parents, goalkeeper coaches and private trainers, academy directors, scouts and recruiters.

What you get

The Digital Locker. A verified, portable performance record the athlete owns and shares with scouts, college coaches, and club evaluators.

Status

Planned for a later phase. Waitlist open, with priority access for pilot consideration.

Track 2 · Load Data

KeepnTHim Safe

The question

How much work is this keeper's body taking on?

What it is being built to measure
  • Kick and distribution countper sessionEvery kick and distribution strike in a session, counted.
  • Intensityper kickAn intensity measure for each strike, so light passing is not scored like long goal kicks. The measure is still to be validated.
  • Left versus rightbalanceThe share of work each foot takes, and how that balance shifts.
  • Session load and trendcumulativeTotal load for the session, tracked session over session.
Who uses it

Goalkeepers, goalkeeper coaches, performance staff, and sports medicine staff at men's and women's clubs.

What you get

A kicking and distribution load record. A wearable-based, session-by-session view of the goalkeeper's workload, built for the position that running-based load tools were not built for.

Status

Concept and validation stage. Potential pilot opportunities in the United States, Puerto Rico, and England.

KeepnTHim Safe measures performance and exposure. It does not diagnose injury, predict injury, prescribe training, or clear an athlete to return to play.

The Science · Performance Track

Six KPIs that define elite goalkeeping

KeeperLab's instrumentation platform is being built to capture six biomechanical dimensions that separate elite goalkeepers from developing athletes.

Status: these six KPIs are planned for a later phase and have not yet been validated in the field.

Measured in milliseconds

Reaction Latency

Time from visual stimulus onset to first motor response, filtered with Butterworth signal processing to remove noise. The foundational elite discriminator.

Measured in m/s

Diving Velocity

3D vector magnitude of lateral explosion. Horizontal, vertical, and lateral components combined into a single speed metric.

Measured in newtons × seconds

Launch Force

Impulse-momentum theorem applied to ground reaction force integration. Captures the explosive spring power at dive initiation.

Graded A to F per rep

Positioning Grade

Angular error relative to the optimal scoring triangle vertex. A geometry-based precision score for set position efficiency on every rep.

Measured in joules

Distribution Power

Kinetic energy transfer during distribution strikes. Foot-to-ball contact mechanics translated into velocity and directional accuracy metrics.

Measured in seconds

Recovery Time

Time from maximum dive extension back to optimal set position readiness. A critical and rarely measured dimension of high-repetition performance.

Core Values

The five principles behind every metric

Every goalkeeper deserves a number

Elite data tools have been locked behind elite institutions for too long. KeeperLab brings professional-grade measurement to youth development, amateur clubs, and underserved markets.

Measurement over opinion

Reaction latency, diving velocity, launch force, positioning grade. These are designed to be derived, not estimated, so they can hold up in front of a parent, a director, or a college recruiter.

The athlete owns their record

The Digital Locker belongs to the athlete, not the club. It travels with them through every transition, protecting their development history.

Coach credibility, amplified

KeeperLab does not replace the coaching eye. It gives it a voice that scouts and parents cannot argue with.

Nuclear-grade rigor

The same rigor used to certify nuclear reactor operators is applied to goalkeeper measurement. Every metric is designed to be machine-generated, timestamped, and defensible.

The ESA Standard

KeeperLab was founded by the Managing Principal of Elliott Strategic Advisors, a Nuclear Submarine Officer and 13-year NRC Resident Inspector. The zero-failure methodology that governs reactor certification governs every KeeperLab measurement. Precision is not a philosophy for special occasions. It is the operating standard.

Digital Locker · Performance Track

Your verified performance passport

Every KeeperLab session is designed to build a tamper-proof, portable performance record that travels with the athlete, from private training to academy trials to recruitment evaluation.

  • Verified biomechanical baseline established at first session
  • Longitudinal tracking shows measurable progression over time
  • Share with coaches, scouts, and academies
  • Replaces subjective tryout evaluation with objective performance evidence
  • Stays with the athlete across clubs, regions, and development stages

Who It's For

Built for the people around the goalkeeper

Clubs can adopt KeeperLab for their keepers, and athletes and families can come to it directly. Men's and women's programs both.

Performance + Safe

Clubs & Academies

Professional clubs, college programs, and elite youth clubs looking to reduce evaluation subjectivity and add goalkeeper-specific data to what they already track.

Safe

Performance & Medical Staff

Sports medicine and performance staff who need a goalkeeper's kicking volume, intensity, and left versus right balance in front of them, session by session.

Performance + Safe

Coaches & Private Trainers

Goalkeeper coaches who want to standardize instruction, show verifiable progress, and see how much kicking work each session is adding up to.

Performance + Safe

Athletes & Parents

Serious goalkeepers in time-compressed development windows where marginal gains affect selection, rostering, and recruitment. Parents investing in specialized training deserve quantifiable ROI.
