Definitely can be difficult cause it can feel like you’re sitting on your hands, but remember it’s you against you. Having the want to go do stuff and doing it without routine causing it is one of the biggest wins to have in the off seasons and breaks. I’m doing a lot of fitness to stay in shape, mostly long distance runs, agility work, and gym workouts just to kinda keep me active. Keep it up, you’re doing amazing!!!
Getting Torn Apart By your Coach
Guys, i was concerned when i read the below post by @Rachael Holmes - so i thought i would do a short video to not only help Rachael, and Jaxon, but as i know sadly most of you in this community will go through a similar experience - thought i would record to help you. IF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH SOMETHING SIMILAR - WHAT DID YOU DO ? PLEASE COMMENT BELOW 👇 I am beyond angry. I am devastated! I’m shaking as I write this because I cannot understand how ONE person - one adult - can inflict so much emotional damage on an 11-year-old boy. My son used to be full of light. He lived and breathed goalkeeping. He had passion, hope, fire - this beautiful spark that made him feel unstoppable. And now? Now he’s a shattered version of himself. He’s drowning in self-doubt, questioning everything he used to love. He genuinely believes he’s not good enough to be a goalkeeper anymore. An eleven-year-old child should never feel that way. And what breaks me the most is that the very people who were supposed to protect him, guide him, nurture him, DEVELOP him - the ones he trusted - are the same ones who tore him apart. His so-called coach, the one who promised him the world, who stood in front of him telling him how “amazing” he was… that same man turned around and ripped him to pieces that no one else saw. How can someone build up a child with one breath and destroy him with the next? Does he even realise what he’s done to my son? No. He doesn’t. And he carries on with his life as if nothing happened. As if he hasn’t left an 11-year-old boy picking up the broken pieces of his confidence. The damage is done, and he doesn’t give a damn. And everyone around him still supports him and praises him and we are classed as pests, a nuisance and causing trouble! Meanwhile, I’m left watching my son crumble. My heart aches - physically aches - for my boy. And I don’t know how to bring his spark back. 😭 For the first time in over two years, he refused to go to goalkeeper training. He said, “I can’t dive… I’m not good enough… the other boys are better, so what’s the point?” Hearing those words from a child who used to throw himself around the pitch with joy and bravery tore something inside me.

No 11 year kid needs to hear that and it’s not acceptable, but I do have one thing to add. I’ve been cussed out by my old coaches since I was 13, been called literally everything in the book and almost any of it could’ve shattered me as a player. And it was never an isolated incident, usually happening every other month or so. One time particularly my old coach cussed me out in front of my entire team for 20 minutes cause I made a mistake costing my team the game at 13. I didn’t leave the club though, I stuck with it for 2-3 more years and they blessed me with amazing opportunity. They are the entire reason why I have been able to become a fully committed goalkeeper and even a better person, cause even then I chose to look past those comments, take the truth from it, and continue to work hard. They gave me the gift of mental toughness at a really young age, and before I left the club in August my club director told me it was because they wanted to see if I was really serious about it, and that to get anywhere in life I need to be seriously mentally tough. Again this isn’t for the specific situation you’re talking about but I think it’s an important thing for all goalkeepers to know. Often it is probably better to move clubs after that, and making those decisions are tough and I fully support every decision any goalkeeper makes in the name of bettering both environment and themselves. Fully here supporting everyone in this amazing community who has had to deal with this or see it happen to someone else. Fully supporting you @Rachael Holmes and hoping your son becomes a spectacular goalkeeper in spite of a poor coach. Thanks again Coach Newland for the video, really appreciate your insight on this as well.
TONIGHTS LIVE CHAT - MEET UP - YOU COMING ?
Hey guys! Who’s up for a live meetup and chat today at 7pm UK time? I don’t have a set agenda, so this is your chance to ask anything. It’s a great opportunity to connect with me and meet other members you haven't chatted with yet! I’d also love to hear your ideas on how we can make this community even better in 2026. IMPORTANT: To keep this a safe and high-quality space, this will be a "Cameras On" session. It’s important that we know who we’re talking to—so please note that anyone with their camera off will be removed from the call. If enough people comment below to confirm they can make it, I’ll drop the link. Let me know ASAP and I'll confirm if we are "good to go" in a couple of hours! — Ray
