Two years ago I was selected to play for Devon fa under 12s. I had a great season wearing the number 16 shirt. Then I tried to move up to the under 14s still only 12 but was not successful. I was gutted and had a choice. I went away worked everyday on something related to goalkeeping . S&C, fitness, stretching, yoga. Trained after school with my dad 4 times a week played with my Exeter City and Plymouth Academy and my grassroots team. Built myself back up and went again a year later. After 4 long trials and I received the email congratulations. I had made the under 14s Devon fa team and Devon fa Schools team. The knock back was the best thing that could happen to me . I was determined I knew what I wanted . To now be handed the number 1 shirt makes all the hard work worth it. If someone says you're not good enough if you're dropped from a team if you make a mistake . Its what YOU do next that makes you who you are . NEVER give up and show the world how good you are. #J4K

Kian had a great game on Sunday and saved his first penalty of the season which he was buzzing about and sooo happy I got on camera to put on TikTok which we did this morning, he came home asking to see how many views and read comments … but there is no comments and hardly any views (his lowest viewed video less than 30 😞)now he is upset that no one thinks he did good If anyone could take 2 seconds to view or leave a few words that I can show him after he gets back from his swimming lesson I would appreciate it so much Link to the video is here https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8jqvwJ1/ Thanks to those that have tik tok that take the time it would mean the world to a little one Cheers Kiki’s mum

Good luck to everybody for their games today
