I'm unfortunate enough to have been roped in at a parent rep. Last night there was a zoom call and one of the topics was photos and videos of match days and training, which have now been banned at Northampton Town and coaches have been asked to tackle opposition if a veo camera is set up or a goalkeeper has one and to have them turned off before entering the field. Apparently this is advice being filtered down to pathway and grassroots clubs due to social media and veo not being secure platforms. The issue seems to be with pictures being stolen and used to create images of under age children using AI and no images should be used or uploaded of players using an NTFC badge. The parents of goalkeepers who raised issue as they like to film and review their performance was that they should consider using self reflection rather than video as a tool for improving. Has anyone else had this come up with their clubs
@Erin Townsend fingers crossed 🤞🏼. It's a great way for players and coaches to develop, wasn't an issue last year just seems to be something over the last few weeks. Was discussed in the meeting last night and told to take back to the parents. Feels a little extreme
@Pelle Högström yes thats fair and you shouldn't post children that aren't your own I agree. Especially as you don't know personal circumstances. I feel like someone has received some guidance got the wrong end of the stick and taken it to the extreme.
After 4 cleansheets to start the season Ilaria finally got beaten today, so straight to bed without any dinner 😂😂. Another good win and strong performance, really starting to anticipate through balls and balls over the top. Commands the area and around the edges of her box very well now to clear any danger.
We've been a little quiet. Ilaria had a couple of blank weeks in the fixture calendar (annoying so early) and the club have banned photos and videos across the board so that's a bit of a challenge currently, hopefully it gets relaxed again soon. Back in action this weekend with another cleansheet, so that's 4 from 4 this season so a strong start. A couple of videos of her working hard in her free time 🧤
No game for the u9s this morning, so it was u10s for Ilaria this morning. Solid performance in horrible conditions, windy and a hard, bobbly pitch made for a challenge. Tidy performance handful of good saves in a narrow loss.
A bit of fun for a Monday morning, Ilaria made her league debut 2 years ago today age 6. Kept a cleansheet in a win for her u9s team. Safe to say things have changed a little bit in that time. Thought it would be fun to see some of the other goalkeepers and goalkeeping parents pictures from the early days
