Two years ago I was selected to play for Devon fa under 12s. I had a great season wearing the number 16 shirt. Then I tried to move up to the under 14s still only 12 but was not successful. I was gutted and had a choice. I went away worked everyday on something related to goalkeeping . S&C, fitness, stretching, yoga. Trained after school with my dad 4 times a week played with my Exeter City and Plymouth Academy and my grassroots team. Built myself back up and went again a year later. After 4 long trials and I received the email congratulations. I had made the under 14s Devon fa team and Devon fa Schools team. The knock back was the best thing that could happen to me . I was determined I knew what I wanted . To now be handed the number 1 shirt makes all the hard work worth it. If someone says you're not good enough if you're dropped from a team if you make a mistake . Its what YOU do next that makes you who you are . NEVER give up and show the world how good you are. #J4K
