Every Thursday, I share part of my journey trying to become a professional goalkeeper as a kid — and the lessons I understand now that I wish I knew back then. My hope is that you can learn from my experiences and use them in your own journey. THURSDAY THOUGHTS 🧤⚽ I remember going for a trial at Everton when I was around 14 or 15 years old. I was nervous. Really nervous. I remember looking around at the other goalkeepers and players thinking: “Everyone here looks so confident… except me.” But looking back now, I realise something important. A lot of those players were probably feeling exactly the same as me. They were nervous too. They were just trying not to show it. And this is the lesson I want to give you today: STOP worrying about what everyone else is doing. At a trial, match or training session, you cannot control: - How good another goalkeeper is - How confident they look - What saves they make - What coaches think of somebody else - Whether another player makes a mistake You can only control YOU. Your attitude. Your communication. Your effort. Your decisions. Your next save. The moment you truly understand this, your mind becomes much calmer. You get more clarity. More focus. And you give yourself a much better chance of performing at your best. If you are serious about developing as a goalkeeper, then developing your mindset and confidence is NOT optional. There is no negotiation. That is why I developed the FREE Goalkeeper Mindset Mastery App for goalkeepers and parents. It is designed to help goalkeepers learn to: THINK like a professional goalkeeper. TALK like a professional goalkeeper. PERFORM like a professional goalkeeper. And it is completely FREE. 👉 https://mastery.j4ksports.com/ You cannot control everybody around you. But you can learn to control your own mind, confidence and performance. I hope this helps.

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.

So I'm feeling a bit under the weather (poorly) I'm likely to miss training tonight to be ready for 2 cup games on the weekend when I hope I will be feeling a bit better.
