So this week at school, my 10 year old son Elliot was just minding his own business doing keepy uppys when another boy in the playground decided to slide tackled him, the outcome of that tackle a double fracture which requires surgery, and plates / screws fitting to help him heal right I am absolutely heartbroken for him as football is his life, he loves being a goalkeeper and playing football Im going to assume a long road to recovery for him due to the severity of the break I want to try and cheer him up a bit as he is very scared nervous, but I dont know hows the best way to approach it Thanks Jamie

Unfortunately will didnt make the trial as they want to stick with the keepers theyve had from being 7. Hes fine with that decision and likes that the manager is committed to the team.

What do you do when you talk or call for the ball but your defense doesn't listen? Even when setting up a wall the field players struggle to listen to him telling them to move. He is doing well communicating and even the parents say the team doesn't listen and they need too. They have been playing together for about 4 month.

Guys, are you having issues with the community ???? If yes, please comment below and I will get sorted. Also, sorry been quiet but been away traveling the past 7 days - but back now! Ray

Start the week like an elite goalkeeper — focused on progress, not perfection. • Every mistake is feedback, not failure • Confidence comes from preparation and repetition • Control what you can: attitude, effort, and reactions • Challenges build stronger, more resilient goalkeepers • Train your mindset as much as your handling and footwork • Learn from setbacks instead of fearing them • Small daily improvements create big long-term success • Believe improvement is earned, not given Great goalkeepers don’t wait for confidence — they build it through consistent action and a powerful growth mindset every single week. 👇 How do you develop your goalkeeper growth mindset?
