PARENTS - WHAT WOULD YOU DO ?
Guys, I received a DM from a parent this week and, with their permission, wanted to share it here šŸ‘‡ Their son has played for the same team for three years. Never missed games. Turned up every week. Fully committed. šŸ’™āš½ A few weeks ago, he picked up an injury and had to miss a handful of matches šŸ¤• During that time, the coach put an outfield player in goal. When the young keeper returned to training, fit and ready to play, the coach told him he would only get half a game, because he now had to ā€œfight for his placeā€. This really upset both the parent and the goalkeeper (who is still very young). After three years of loyalty, it felt unfair and confusing šŸ˜” The parent spoke to the coach to explain how much this had knocked her son’s confidence — to the point where he started saying he didn’t want to play in goal anymore šŸ’”šŸ§¤ The coach’s response?ā€œWhat would you do if your head was on my shoulders?ā€ Now, I know some grassroots coaches — especially at kids’ level — look in the mirror and see Pep Guardiola staring back at them šŸ˜… But parents and goalkeepers…What would you do in this situation? UPDATE: Just found out that the stand in goalkeeper does not want to stay in goal - Was only playing to help out.

FREE COPY - ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR PARENTS OF KEEPERS 🧤
Being the parent of a goalkeeper is one of the most stressful roles in youth football—especially if you have never played in goal yourself. Goalkeeping is a highly specialised position, and without first-hand experience, it is extremely difficult to know how to advise or support your child correctly. This puts many parents in an impossible position. You see your child standing alone in goal, sometimes facing unfair criticism from coaches or teammates, yet you are unsure how to help. Even worse, well-intended advice can unintentionally make things harder. This is not a failure on your part. Goalkeeping is different. To truly understand it, you need insight from someone who has lived it at a high level. That is exactly why I wrote The Ultimate Guide for Parents of Goalkeepers—to give parents clarity, confidence, and practical guidance so they can genuinely support their goalkeeper child. If you are serious about helping your child navigate the challenges of playing in goal, I strongly recommend reading this over the Christmas period. It is a short, simple read, and I guarantee you will feel far more confident in how to help your child afterwards. And it is completely free.
