Each week, I invite you to share your biggest win. This isn't about the scoreline, but rather what aspects of your goalkeeping you improved or what new product you got to enhance your game. Additionally, can you name three things you are grateful for? These don't have to be goalkeeper-related. The reason I do this is simple: everyone has tough weeks. Reflecting on and writing down your recent wins and what you're grateful for is a PROVEN way to realise that life is pretty great and you're a very lucky person. To get you started, here’s my win and what I'm thankful for this week: MY WIN: Getting over 5700 members and growing in this community, WHAT I AM GRATEFUL FOR: 1. Finally getting the free course live for you guys. 2. The amazing weather we have been having. 3. Adding another 9 goalkeepers to the J4K goalkeeper glove sponsorship program. Share your win below and what you’re grateful for. Let's keep INSPIRING each other - Comment below, whats your wins.👇👇👇 And Remember, you are ALOT better off than what you may think ❤️ Ray

J4K DEVON & CORNWALL ❤️🧤 Hopefully your Game is on 🤞🧤 With the weather not being the best hopefully your game is on.Another great week and all keepers have taken the standard to the next level,consistency is key 💪🧤 I’ve chatted to a few groups about how they warm up before a game,listening to a few and how they warm up ,just some advice, You won’t learn anything in the warm up ,so keep it simple. Handling -volleys to chest and at feet, Distribution-short pass & long pass High balls-served out the hands. Pitches are wet so I’d avoid diving to stay dry- Wear a jacket ,keep as dry as possible,if available warm up in a different top than your playing shirt,carry a towel for your gloves ,to keep them as dry as possible . I know teams like a shooting drill but I wouldn’t even get involved,staying dry is important,once wet & cold , concentration & focus becomes hard. When warming up take weather & pitch conditions into account 👊🧤 What’s your routine

Who are you playing today, where are you playing, and what's your score prediction? 👇 But before you step onto that pitch, I want you to remember ONE thing… GO OUT THERE WITH ONE MISSION… 🔥 ENJOY EVERY SECOND AND HAVE AS MUCH FUN AS POSSIBLE! And please remember something VERY important… NEVER, EVER allow another player, coach, parent or anyone shouting from the sidelines to make you feel worthless or doubt your ability as a goalkeeper! NOBODY – AND I MEAN NOBODY – IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE, YOUR HAPPINESS OR YOUR LOVE FOR GOALKEEPING! ❤️ You will make mistakes. EVERY goalkeeper does, even the world's best! But mistakes don't define you. What defines you is your courage to stand between those posts, give everything you've got and NEVER stop believing in yourself. Play with confidence. Play with pride. But above everything else, PLAY WITH A SMILE! 🧤💪 Good luck, everyone. I'm rooting for you all! Ray ❤️⚽

Guys, GOOD LUCK this weekend ? Where and who are you playing, and what do you think the outcome will be ? Also, remember guys… Go out with ONE mission… And that is to enjoy your game and have as much FUN as possible. DO NOT LET ANY PLAYER, COACH OR ANYONE ON THE SIDELINES MAKE YOU FEEL LOW OR BAD ABOUT YOURSELF OR YOUR GOALKEEPING - NONE AND I MEAN NONE - ARE IMPORTANT ENOUGH Good luck Everyone Ray

Has anyone had a ref use the countdown for holding the ball too long? I mean the 8-second rule with the ref counting down the last 5 seconds on their hand. I've not even seen it used in my U15 games yet, so I'm curious how often it's happening at other levels. Has anyone actually had a corner given against them for it? Do you think a corner is a fair punishment, and has the countdown changed how quickly you release the ball? Keepers, parents and refs, what are you seeing in your leagues? 👇
