Confidence battered
So the lads team are in the highest division for his age (u16) outside of national league and they are struggling. On a losing streak if 6 straight and lost again the weekend. He’s had very little protection truth be told but the weekend they battered a team but couldn’t score.. last few minutes he mis-judged a cross and ket it go straight through his hands into the net. His confidence is taking a proper battering even though there is very little he can do for the losses team is suffering. And of course all eyes are on him esp after his mistakes the weekend. Anyway, any tips to bring in as we return to training tonight ? Want to get his confidence going back in the right direction Thanks all

@Danny Fletcher thanks. It’s a rut for sure but we have played the top 4 teams over last few weeks, but when my lads is conceding multiple goals and then drops a clanger (which all keepers do) I’m just hoping eyes don’t look for an easy target to blame. Back to it tonight mind so hopefully attitude isn’t as down Many thanks

Competition for no.1
My son stepping up to the highest level he’s played, has been through pre season and made two awful mistakes in one of the games that became goals. He made two great stops in the same game that kepth his team in the game which they eventually won. His confidence isn’t what it was since and his handling isn’t at the level it was. It’s two weeks before the season starts and the coach who has always said he only wants one keeper and has said all summer he’s not looking for a keeper as is happy with my son, well theres a keeper coming down to trial next week who played at that level last season, one week before the season starts. My son is now nervous that he’ll be cast aside if this keeper performs well in his trial and be left without a club or be a number 2 ( which the manager has always said he doesn’t want). Any advice from those on here would be great Many thanks
