Hey y’all! My name is Ryan and I live in South Texas with my family. I am an old GK and the father of an 11 yr old goalkeeper. Looking forward to learning and growing within the J4K community!

I wanted to take a moment to personally thank every single goalkeeper and parent in this community. In over 40 years around goalkeepers — including 10 years as a professional goalkeeper and nearly 25 plus years running Just4Keepers — I can genuinely say this community is one of the best things I have ever done. I’ve been involved in other businesses over the years, but Just4Keepers has always been a passion project for me. What has kept that passion alive is you — the goalkeepers sharing your stories, your setbacks, your wins, and your dreams… and the parents who care so deeply and contribute so thoughtfully. Your input, honesty, and support have inspired me to continue pushing J4K forward. Over the past 25+ years, we have helped more goalkeepers and parents than any other goalkeeper organisation in history — and this community has reminded me that there is still so much more we can do. If I’m being honest, this group has lit a fire under me again. It has motivated me to bring even more support, guidance, and services to goalkeepers and parents throughout 2026 and beyond. To every goalkeeper reading this: 🧤Chase your dreams 🧤Do not listen to negative voices. 🧤Get your inspiration from this community. I have helped hundreds of goalkeepers achieve things they never believed were possible. Many thought they weren’t good enough. My message to them was always simple — and it’s the same message I’m giving you now: 👉 Just chase your dreams.Because you never know… you just could be the next J4K success story. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 🎅 Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎉Please drop your Christmas wishes in the comments — I’d love to read every one of them. PS: Keep an eye out for my next post… I’ll be asking you to share your Christmas Day photos wearing your J4K gloves and gear 🎁🧤

It’s Finns 11th birthday 🎂 he’s over the moon with his new gloves 🧤 and ebooks but most importantly he is home last year he spent his birthday in hospital. It’s the little victories in life 🙌 We love the green as there is only one green army in Devon 😂

Re the meet up - Originally I was going to do in person in my warehouse in Liverpool UK, but as this has turned into an International community there is many who obviously cannot attend - So I will do this virtually. Can you please advise what day is best for you below- Time to be confirmed, but think it will probably be 7pm UK time.

I thought this was really funny how my wife keeps the glove from falling while drying them after a gentle wash https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ykrDPJ/
