This one maybe a long post so please bare with. My ultimate goal in life would be to leave the 9-5 rat race and create my own football club/ school/ development center whatever you'd like to call it, but that being said it requires a lot of upfront costs etc. After snapping my ACL last year and having to take the time off work for the operation and recovery, it's opened my eyes as to what I actually want to do with my life. As some of you may know I'm the manager/ coach of my grassroots team and we are at the beggining of the journey where it starts to become competitive rather than just about fun, that being said it's the time where I need players to start to develop and polish their skills. With grassroots being voluntary and not a paid position, I'm looking at setting something up on the side completely separate to the actual team. I'm hoping to set up small group coaching sessions maybe 6-8 players on a 4week development programme focusing on different aspects of the game. With this being separate from the team (although it will be offered as an addition to them) what are your thoughts on paying for additional sessions. Sorry for waffling on, I just wanted to get some opinions before I make any decisions

How do you deal with trolls on social media? I usually ignore them or turn off comments if it gets a bit much. Couldn't resist a come back to this one though...

Xavier is at a sleepover tonight, so i get the pleasure of popping onto here. I know there are some coaches on here, who coach the whole team, not just the goalkeeper, please can I ask your advice? On Saturday, I was unofficially asked whether I would be interested in joining the team as a coach next season, the headcoach is stepping down (this is not common knowledge yet) & they feel i would make a great addition to the coaching team. I was very honoured to be asked, what I'm interested in knowing is what courses have you undertaken to become a coach?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to check in after this weekend’s games and hear how things went for you all. For me, it was a good one — we won 3:0 and I managed to keep a clean sheet. Always a great feeling, especially when the whole team works well together defensively. That said, every match still brings something to learn. There are always small details to improve, even on a positive weekend like this. How did you feel out there? Did you have a save that stood out, or a moment you’re still thinking about? I think it’s important we share both the good and the challenging parts, because that’s how we grow as goalkeepers. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
