Dream It...Believe It...Do It.
Tania Singfield has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s most passionate and innovative goalkeeper specialists. Athletes have professed Tania to be their secret weapon, and a catalyst behind their development and success. Her style of coaching and ability to structure programs for the individual needs has proven to have an impact at all levels. Tania’s level of success has allowed her to grow into an academy with a coaching staff that share the same type of passion for the game. The combination of her expertise, and the staff’s endless commitment to achieve success, has given a reputation recognized by professional, national, varsity and amateur athletes who follow the methodologies and philosophies of the Golden Gloves Academy.
“From the very first time I met Tania I could tell she was the type of person who demanded respect from all her goalkeepers. If you have ever witnessed or been a part of any of her training you realize she gets exactly that. All of her keepers give 100% effort in every session because they are expected to and because Tania also gives 100% of herself every time she coaches. I have not only worked for Tania but she has coached me endless times because she believes in me as a keeper. I have never had the equivalent commitment from any coach. Tania works hard on the field but even harder off. She challenges everyone in her academy with homework every week, she evaluates them constantly and is always taking note of progression. She plans out sessions to the very last minute and has specific handouts for all of the other coaches involved so we are always on the same page. Her attention to detail when it comes to technique is better than any keeper coach I have come across in Canada, male or female. Because of her commitment to making her keepers better it is natural for those keepers to want the same. She has no doubt made me a better keeper and whenever I get the opportunity to train with her I do. Her high demands force you to look inside yourself and give more than you thought possible. I worked an entire winter with a group of keepers in her academy and I was completely amazed by their transformation in a matter of months. Her passion for what she does is contagious and although her sessions are intense and competitive they are also fun. Golden Gloves Academy is a wonderful learning environment and I am proud to have been a part of it.”
