Being the parent of a goalkeeper is one of the most stressful roles in youth football—especially if you have never played in goal yourself. Goalkeeping is a highly specialised position, and without first-hand experience, it is extremely difficult to know how to advise or support your child correctly. This puts many parents in an impossible position. You see your child standing alone in goal, sometimes facing unfair criticism from coaches or teammates, yet you are unsure how to help. Even worse, well-intended advice can unintentionally make things harder. This is not a failure on your part. Goalkeeping is different. To truly understand it, you need insight from someone who has lived it at a high level. That is exactly why I wrote The Ultimate Guide for Parents of Goalkeepers—to give parents clarity, confidence, and practical guidance so they can genuinely support their goalkeeper child. If you are serious about helping your child navigate the challenges of playing in goal, I strongly recommend reading this over the Christmas period. It is a short, simple read, and I guarantee you will feel far more confident in how to help your child afterwards. And it is completely free.
