Wasn't able to get to Ernies keeper training tonight but a decent game for England u20s at Mansfield Town against Czech Republic. Very comfortable 6-1 and some very talented lads coming through

Despite the freezing evening and nearly zero temperatures , the lights are on and bright, the parents wrapped warm and the place is absolutely buzzing with happy kids of different ages for the evening team trainings at our regional sport centre in the middle of Ireland. Delighted to see here so many kids out and playing, very positive atmosphere ⚽️🥅🧤👍(few photos of the place)

Keira and I have been going over the footage of her last game and I was really proud to see how she came back from conceding a goal and building her game by recognising that in the wet weather she needed to get her body behind the ball. The first video is a clip of the goal she conceded and the second one is a shot that happened minutes later.

Hey guys, just wondering, how do you keep your motivation UP and STEADY in winter, for trainings and in general, with colder weather, drizzle, darker and longer evenings. I personally feel less of it myself now with colder wet weather. Do you wear brighter colours gear and gloves to beat the winter greys? Do you buy new gloves so you want to train more in them? Do you train with friends or parents to motivate each other? Please share and inspire each other🙂💪For me most effective is to train outside despite the weather. It is very important to get more out on fresh air, get enough sleep and good healthy food. . And what works for you?

As some of you know Logan is a defender, but loves being in goal. At the moment there is no opportunity for him to get game time in goal but he still trains with Wilson’s goal keeper coach just for the pure love of it. Watching his dedication to a position he doesn’t play, going out in the rain and cold just so he can practice something he loves makes it even more enjoyable to watch 🥰
