Stoke trials

I've put this into my notes but I don't think It needs much explanation I didn't get picked but there was several things wrong with this process

time like the first trial where I spent most of it in outfield drills and not alot of time in my net . In the second trial I had not alot of playing time and had to do 2v2s whilst I waited and it drained me. In the final trial the GK session was very short and didn't feel like a full session and fitted the outfield games around the session when it should be the other way around.

GK sessions felt poor quality and didn't let me show all of my aspects of goalkeeping and very limited time to show what I can do.

No feedback even though I was told I would get a detailed explanation on why I've not been chosen if I wasn't and i was told to look on YouTube for handling techniques even though I was good at handling and only conceded 3 goals.

Why did they bring both keepers down to not take either of them and in my opinion it was a waste of my time if neither of us was going to get chosen.

I think I did everything I could do including distribution, comminution, footwork, shot stopping and htime like the first trial where I spent most of it in outfield drills and not alot of time in my net .

Overall I was unhappy with this trial period and I think my dad is going to send an email explaining this . And to top it off we're stuck outside of the training ground with a flat tire 😂🫣
