As we step into 2026, I want you to know this: your goalkeeper dream matters. Even if others don’t see it. Even if they don’t understand how much it means to you. Never let anyone steal that dream or talk you out of it. If you want to become above average, you must be willing to work harder than the average. It’s the early mornings, the extra reps, the quiet discipline when nobody is clapping. It’s learning from mistakes, getting back up, and refusing to be defined by one bad moment. And here’s what I promise you: J4K will be right there with you. Every session, every match, every setback and bounce-back — we’ll keep supporting you with gloves you can trust, advice that’s real, and a community that believes in goalkeepers. In 2026, you are not doing this alone. I’m here. J4K is here. We’ll keep pushing you, backing you, and helping you chase what you really want. J4K - Proud to be different. Ray Newland PS: Comment below — what is your dream for 2026?

Finally Level 3.I want to thank everyone, truly everyone.I couldn’t have done this without you. J4K is a big community, and it feels like a real family. I’m proud to be part of it. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Being the parent of a goalkeeper is one of the most stressful roles in youth football—especially if you have never played in goal yourself. Goalkeeping is a highly specialised position, and without first-hand experience, it is extremely difficult to know how to advise or support your child correctly. This puts many parents in an impossible position. You see your child standing alone in goal, sometimes facing unfair criticism from coaches or teammates, yet you are unsure how to help. Even worse, well-intended advice can unintentionally make things harder. This is not a failure on your part. Goalkeeping is different. To truly understand it, you need insight from someone who has lived it at a high level. That is exactly why I wrote The Ultimate Guide for Parents of Goalkeepers—to give parents clarity, confidence, and practical guidance so they can genuinely support their goalkeeper child. If you are serious about helping your child navigate the challenges of playing in goal, I strongly recommend reading this over the Christmas period. It is a short, simple read, and I guarantee you will feel far more confident in how to help your child afterwards. And it is completely free.
