Hi all, I recently posted about how we deal with Dylan and keeping him interested in keeping (no pun intended) and was wondering how other parents deal with this and what their child's GK activities on average per week.

Dylan won GK of the month with GKDC and Jack's critique of Dylans performances. Training is really paying off, Dylan was a reasonably 'naturally gifted' keeper (playing in the garden and messing around with his mates) he already had quick reactions, quite fearless and not worried about making mistakes. This was before any extra dedicated training and now he is having his rough edges knocked off and his all round game has improved massively. He plays with his mates in a lower division team than what he should be playing in so he can actually learn his game and enjoy the game for what it is, although we are currently top of the league and unbeaten after 12 games, it wasnt like that last season. He plays in goal for his school team who are at a good level so he is getting the more competitive games with them and with the weekly GK training I feel we have hit a good balance which allows him to learn the game, enjoy the game and not have too much effect on him enjoying being a teenager.

So mum has just been told she won't get home today. Her blood results have come back high. The doctor said that her procedure was very complicated. More antibiotics today lots of food and drink and hopefully home tomorrow. Sorry if these posts are repetitive but this has been a real outlet for me and my dad to zone out and take our minds off things. Thanks everyone for the support

So my mum successfully had here procedure at 4:30pm today. She is still in hospital but will hopefully be home tomorrow. Its a huge relief that it went well. Can't wait for her to be home.

So here is the edited video from Saturday matches, hope you enjoy it https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRXoxyRv/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW3XQUNgudt/?igsh=NGxnenJwZms0ZjZ0 Sorry had to change the insta post, as apparently the music blocked the video in lots of countries 🫣 Kirsty
