Coache profile: Lambert is a very professional and enthusiastic goalkeepers coach with an eye for the necessary details. The best way to describe the success of Lambert is to let his references and keepers success stories speak about him. 90% of the keepers he has trained and nurtured have moved on to bigger things. That in itself is a testament to his work and dedication.

He speaks English and is completely devoted to his work, a very sociable type of person who also takes time to listen to what the keepers think, both on and off the field.

He would be happy if he could be on the training field from 9 in the morning till 9 at night, with whatever age group he had to train.

What do professional keepers say about Lambert Jager:

Stefan Postma
Ex Goalkeeper of FC Utrecht (Premiership Holland), Dutch national team U 21, De Graafschap (Premiership Holland), ex keeper of Aston Villa (Premiership England), ex keeper of Wolverhampton Wanderers (First Division England), ex keeper ADO Den Haag (Premiership Holland) and finally with De Graafschap again in the Dutch Premiership:

'Lambert is a very devoted coach with a great eye for details, who knows how to translate and control his trainings into real game situations in a perfect way. His analyses after the games are very realistic and honest, which always gives me something to work on. I am very pleased with my co-operation with Lambert during the last seasons.'

Jurgen Wevers
Ex goalkeeper of the Dutch national team U 21, ex keeper of De Graafschap (Premiership Holland) and RKC Waalwijk (First Division Holland):

'The great thing about Lambert’s practice is that everything he does is pointed to “real game situations�. Because Lambert is a very intelligent person he also makes me mentally much stronger. He always listens to me about everything I tell him and in this he’s very strong in reading between the lines.'

Gino Coutinho
Ex goalkeeper of PSV . Vitesse (Premiership Holland). FC Den Bosch(First Division Holland) now Den Haag (Premiership Holland):

'Lambert has proved that you can change by a certain treatment of a pattern. The consequence was that I dare much more ahead in goal. He is a professional man, can well listen and I have much admiration for him.'

Harald Wapenaar
I was the 2005-2006 season, first keeper in the Premiership club Vitesse, with 310 games in professional football in the Netherlands, 5 matches in the Serie A in Italy and 10 games in the Premier League in England, behind my name-trained and Lambert was my goalkeeper coach:

'During that period he helped me perfect my basic techniques to keep well and has helped me improve my Weaker points. He promoted in that period the good harmony and cooperation between the three keepers of the selection and promoted, at times that it was needed, the self-activation of the keepers themselves.
There emerged between Lambert and trust me. He was in personal contact with me very well. He supported me and times the matches well and my performance was competent and critically evaluate, and then another one expert was analyzed. He was my main stay during training and on match day.'

Barry Ditewig
Ex-goalkeeper of DOVO (Top amateur division Holland), Heerenveen (Premiership Holland). Ex keeper of Emmen and Veendam (First Division Holland) and Den Haag (Premiership Holland):

'Lambert is a really fanatic coach what made a very positive impression on me and because of this he was able to push me to get to my limit on practises. I went to the training with a lot of fun. His vision on how to be a good goalie is very clear and he knows how to explain it. Because of training with him I have become a better goalie. I think if I did not had him as my goaliecoach I still would be playing for DOVO and if I ever would get him as my coach it would please me very much.'

Piet Velthuizen
Ex goalkeeper Keeper of Vitesse (First Division Holland). U23 Dutch International and now Hercules Alicante (Primera Division Spain):

'He has made me quicker and he can explain what he means clearly. He has taught me to accept the things as they are. The practice helped me to be a better goalkeeper. He is a very fanatic goalkeeper coach and very nice to work with. By its manner of work I have come so far because he know exactly how he must go with me.'

Johan v.d. Werf
Ex goalkeeper Dordrecht and FC Zwolle (First Division and premiership Holland):

'If you have to describe Lambert, I think the words that come to mind are compassion, game structured and analyzer are the best words to give. In my opinion you don’t train goalies of professional levels to make them so much better but to make them aware of details and situations that happen in a match. Lambert shows that he is a good professional goalkeeper coach.'

Ale Geert de Vries
Goalkeeper SC Cambuur (First Division Holland):

'The past 2 seasons a new goalkeeper coach has come on my path in the person of Lambert Jager . At first it was hard to adjust but the contact with Lambert has become so much better . As a coach Lambert is passionate of his profession and he transmits that onto "his boys". He trains completely game like and this way you learn to recognise a lot of situations. It is always a pleasure to train with him. Hopefully I can enjoy those trainings for a long time.'

Balázs Rabóczky
Ex goal keeper Fc Norkoping. Fc Kopenhagen. Hungarian National Team 21 caps in the Hungarian U21 national team 3 times Hungarian Champion, twice with MTK, once with Dunaferr ex keeper Vitesse (Premiership Holland):

'I think, a goalkeeper coach is very important in a goalkeepers life. Being a goalkeeper is an independent profession. In the last few years the football rules have changed a lot and that fact gives more difficulties to the keepers. Lambert Jager has accommodated to it very well and put his knowledge very well into practice.

His trainings are filled with the requirements of the modern keeper play. (with lots crosses, playing with legs/feet (both right and left). He is a really hard goalkeeper trainer, but he is a good person as well who underlines the importance of the relationship between a goalkeeper and his goalkeeper coach.
I feel that in spite of the short time with him and the fact that I am already 30 years old I was able to develop with him.
I wish every goalkeeper such a good trainer as he is.'

Vladimir Stoycovic
Ex goal keeper Fc Nantes, Vitesse, sp Lissabon and first keeper of the national team of Serbia:

'The first time I met Lambert was when I played for Fc Nantes and he came on as a very positive person.
In the Netherlands I had some adjustment problems but Lambert have accompanied me in this very well stronger.
Lambert is a trainer that tells you exactly what and why he wants something from you and look closely at your grades.
It was an educational time I’ve learned a lot from him.'

Baixiaolei
Goalkeeper of Nanchang Bayi (Chinese Super League):

'Lambert is a trainer that tells you exactly what he wants. He is a professional man and his practice helped me a lot. Lambert is a very devoted coach with a great eye for details and for me as a goalkeeper very important. I hope that I see him again to train with me.'
