So I didn't get the position, purely for political reasons. The main one being my signing and affiliation with Leek Town FC who perform at step 3 level of the league pyrimid in the Northern Premiere league - premiere division. The team I trialed for were local regional Sunday league. My feedback was that the other players found me too involved and commanding. They believed I took the match far too seriously for the type of league they perform at. Which I can understand when I am shouting commands down the field and the other players just haven't got a clue how to react, as I am used to a more responsive flow of gameplay. They already have a keeper but his knowledge and ability of game-set-plan was far lower than mine, which made for an uneven match of which the other players weren't happy with. So let's put it this way, I didn't just smash the trial, I absolutely destroyed it! The experience was fantastic though and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I bet loads of goalkeepers ask this question to themselves. And the answer is not very hard, whenever you concede a goal, never take it as a bad thing, most goalkeepers are furious when the get conceded on. The way i take it is either by laughing it off or rebuilding my commitment into the next future minutes in the game. Think about how you conceded and how you should work on it, you can always go to a public football pitch/field and improve on the mistakes that have happened in a game you have just recently played in!

Following from @Ray Newland post about motivation and mindset I wanted to share a video with you. Last year I representedMerseyside in the England futsal champions plate. It was a tough game in which we conceded early and soon found ourselves 3-1 down (a couple of my positioning mistakes) however we dug deep as a team and I worked on my errors. We ended up wining 5-4 and I came away with GOTG. Just goes to show what you can do when you stick at it and recognise your errors. https://youtu.be/OxiHal5130A?si=OzKVIJ41DGMwHlFm

Something to think about and share with our families when we've had a bad game. My parents are very supportive but I have seen and heard parents really having a go at kids and blaming them for results

Hi wondering if anyone does this for kids as young Ellis has adhd so sees things different Always wondered if anyone has kids with adhd in this program. Cheers.
