Paul Blodgett
Goalkeeper Coach
The founder of the highly successful Paul Blodgett Goalkeeper Training School, Paul Blodgett brings 30 years of coaching and teaching experience with goalkeepers to Sky Blue FC. He previously served as the goalkeeper coach for Rutgers University working with multiple All-Americans and future professionals. A USSF “B” License holder, Blodgett currently serves as the New Jersey Youth Soccer Director of Goalkeeping for Girls.
On the senior women’s soccer level, Blodgett accomplished two highly successful stints in recent years. In 2005, he served as the Goalkeeper Coach with the New Jersey Wildcats and helped that team amass a 13-1 record before capturing the W-League Championship. He joined Sky Blue Soccer’s W-League team, Jersey Sky Blue, in its inaugural season in 2007 and that team posted a 12-2 mark. In both of those seasons, each team led the W-League in least amount of goals allowed in the regular season – two in 14 games for the Wildcats in 2005 and six in 14 games for Sky Blue in 2007.
Along with Sky Blue FC Strength & Conditioning Coach Mark Williams, Blodgett is also a co-founder off the Athlete Development Institute (ADI) – a New Jersey-based sports training company that emphasizes the development of the athlete through position-specific training.
