I am getting frustrated with myself because I know I am improving and becoming a very good goalkeeper, however I feel like all my effort is for not. I was expecting that those around me would starting noticing that the gap was growing between me and them, and to be fair coaches and certain teammates have, but it does not change the attitudes of players who used to be better than me. Mainly I get frustrated that there is a lack of competition amongst my teammates because everyone believes they deserve playing time and are all going to go pro. Another frustration is my lack of connections for my age. I get to witness so many of my teammates, guys who don’t really care too much about the sport) to get trial with MLS, Polish, and other professional teams with poor work-rate and terrible mentality’s in the way they live there life. It hurts me because I know that I am putting in the work and the effort, even with reaching out and trying to get connections, but I get very few opportunities from it or recognition. I am not whining or complaining because I still know that many wish they had the opportunities I continue to get, but I also NEED to elevate my level of play and join a pro team soon so that I can really become the best keeper I can. I’ve talked to former pro coaches and players and they think I am on the right track, but I still do not know how I need to go about getting my first pro contract. How should I go about trying to get my first contract or do I just have to wait it out until I get noticed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Which glove brand did you wear before joining Just4Keepers - or are you currently wearing if you haven’t joined yet?

Would you rather play futsal as a second sport? OR play beach soccer as a second sport?
