Getting Torn Apart By your Coach
Guys, i was concerned when i read the below post by @Rachael Holmes - so i thought i would do a short video to not only help Rachael, and Jaxon, but as i know sadly most of you in this community will go through a similar experience - thought i would record to help you. IF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH SOMETHING SIMILAR - WHAT DID YOU DO ? PLEASE COMMENT BELOW 👇 I am beyond angry. I am devastated! I’m shaking as I write this because I cannot understand how ONE person - one adult - can inflict so much emotional damage on an 11-year-old boy. My son used to be full of light. He lived and breathed goalkeeping. He had passion, hope, fire - this beautiful spark that made him feel unstoppable. And now? Now he’s a shattered version of himself. He’s drowning in self-doubt, questioning everything he used to love. He genuinely believes he’s not good enough to be a goalkeeper anymore. An eleven-year-old child should never feel that way. And what breaks me the most is that the very people who were supposed to protect him, guide him, nurture him, DEVELOP him - the ones he trusted - are the same ones who tore him apart. His so-called coach, the one who promised him the world, who stood in front of him telling him how “amazing” he was… that same man turned around and ripped him to pieces that no one else saw. How can someone build up a child with one breath and destroy him with the next? Does he even realise what he’s done to my son? No. He doesn’t. And he carries on with his life as if nothing happened. As if he hasn’t left an 11-year-old boy picking up the broken pieces of his confidence. The damage is done, and he doesn’t give a damn. And everyone around him still supports him and praises him and we are classed as pests, a nuisance and causing trouble! Meanwhile, I’m left watching my son crumble. My heart aches - physically aches - for my boy. And I don’t know how to bring his spark back. 😭 For the first time in over two years, he refused to go to goalkeeper training. He said, “I can’t dive… I’m not good enough… the other boys are better, so what’s the point?” Hearing those words from a child who used to throw himself around the pitch with joy and bravery tore something inside me.

I have seen this many times, the best advice I could give you is to change teams. Once a bad coach starts blaming kids for match outcomes the coach is done. No second or third chance . Go to a new team and tell the new coach what has happened so they can start to help your kid. Goalkeeper's are rare so 99% of teams need a goalkeeper how wants to be there.

🚨 Watch Out – Spammers About! 🚨
Hi Guys, Just a quick reminder! As we all know, this community is amazing and has already helped thousands of keepers and parents. Unfortunately, every now and then some scammers or idiots still slip through the net (pardon the pun), pretending to be a caring parent or a goalkeeper. When these low life’s lie to get access it can be hard for me and my team to detect them. But as a community we can ALL very quickly spot these spammers and just immediately ban them! Quick tips to catch and report a spammer. 🧤If a post promises overnight riches, making money — it is NOT J4K or a real genuine member. 🧤If you get a random DM from someone you don’t know - Its a spammer 🗣️ If you see such a spam post or someone randomly DM’s you, report their post and tell me or the team and we will BAN them immediately. Sadly guys, every now and then we are going to get an idiot or two, but it is important we do not let these morons spoil this community for us all. Together, we WILL NOT allow this amazing community become toxic like the other social media channels out there. So lets keeping working TOGETHER to keep this community…. ✅ Safe ✅ Friendly ✅ Supportive ❌ Spammer-free Thanks to everyone who stays alert and reports these idiots as we normally ban a spammer within 1 hour! So message for any loser spammer - Do NOT bother because we are watching and you will be immediately found out - and banned! Ray
