Hi, I’m Alfonso Gaudelli, founder and head coach of Gaudelli Goalkeeping. Football has always been my passion, and from an early age I was drawn to the unique challenges of being a goalkeeper. Having played at a very high level with Brighton & Hove Albion’s Academy, I experienced first-hand the demands of the position, which shaped both my style and my coaching philosophy. I started Gaudelli Goalkeeping to give players of all ages a supportive and specialist environment where they can improve their technique, build confidence, and develop a love for the position. My coaching focuses not only on the key technical skills — handling, positioning, footwork, distribution, and shot-stopping — but also on the mental side of the game, helping goalkeepers become resilient, composed, and brave under pressure. Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to take your game to the next level, my goal is to guide you on your journey and create training sessions that are challenging, enjoyable, and rewarding. 

Paddy is a goalkeeper coach at GaudelliGoalkeeping, with over two years of experience and currently works within a professional academy environment at Woking Academy. Alongside his coaching, he has captained Westfield U18s, helped lead the side to their furthest-ever FA Youth Cup run, spent time around a National League South first-team environment, and made his Step 4 debut last season. His playing and coaching background gives him a clear understanding of the demands of the modern game, aligning closely with the Gaudelli Goalkeeping mission of developing technically secure, tactically intelligent, physically prepared, and mentally resilient goalkeepers. Paddy delivers high-standards, detail-driven sessions while bringing energy and personality that create a focused but enjoyable learning environment.
