Gib Versfeld is one of the sharpest goalies and now goalie coaches I have been lucky enough to work with. He had an incredible mind for the position as a player and it has unsurprisingly carried over into his coaching career. He is so talented at finding multiple ways to help others understand his thought processes and coaching points. Like all great teachers, Gib is great at helping players of all shapes and sizes get the most out of their ability rather than fit them into a specific mold. His attention to detail and eye for great technique separates Coach Gib as one of the best goalie coaches in the country.
Having worked with Gib both as a goalie, coach, and colleague, I can’t overstate the impact he’s had on the goalies he’s worked with. He’s great at both teaching the basics and getting into the weeds with goalies of all levels. One of Gib’s greatest qualities is his ability to quickly connect with kids, getting them to trust and buy in. Knowledgeable, high-energy, and a great teacher of the game, I can’t recommend any opportunities to work with him enough!
Coach Gib is a fantastic communicator with goalies when it comes to training. His style is calm, thoughtful, and coaches the position very intentionally and has a reason and explanation behind every drill. I’m fired up for Gib to passionately build on his success both as a player and coach and keep on raising the bar for the goalie position throughout the DC area and beyond!
