So after 8 months out tonight I took back into a proper match. As much as I hate to say it I failed. There is no sugar coating. As a coach I don’t even have to watch the video back I know what went wrong. But now I need to figure out why in training it was working but in a match it didn’t
So the issue was Dives were falls not dives. The set position was right, I pushed off and went no where. It was a fall not a dive. So back to knee dive drills before Sunday.
What this is going to do is test my mental fortitude can I rebuild my mindset. Can I over come tonight on 3G and get back to my standards on Grass or is the body telling me that is enough fella your about to be 46 and just coach the younger ones now and pass the knowledge now.
The next week will be a pivotal week in me competing or moving on. What I know is the knowledge is there, but is the ability to translate that still there? What I know is what ever the out come will see a bigger and better version of this Goalkeeper in what ever capacity
