Unfortunately, it didn't get any easier for Max today. Another loss in his first game 2-0 due to a mistake that cost him the goal and unfortunately found it difficult to move on. After coming over ahead of the second match, I told him to let it all out, get it off his chest, take a deep breath, reset because you can't change what's happened, but you can change what happens in the next match. It was refreshing to see he had learnt from his mistake by getting his body behind/over the ball, pulled off 2 great saves by pushing them onto the cross bar one after another, a really brave 1v1 taking a blow to the shoulder from the players head and some really great saves. Unfortunately it ended 1-1 but would have been a lot more without him. He even got praise from the opposition parents who couldn't believe he was playing up a year complimenting him on how well he did. It's so tough being the parent of a young goalkeeper watching them beat themselves up when a mistake is made, but I honestly couldn't have been any prouder of how well Max handled it in the end and didn't let it influence his next game. Here's hoping luck is more on his side after the easter break as he just hasn't had it plain sailing just lately the poor kid. 🧤❤️

Edit: i forgot to mention my mum ran the line today to as we only had 2 coaches instead of 3 and no-one else would run it. Today I was back in my very first J4K Glove style the Ice XTN and they are still a great choice. Sadly we lost today. We were 0-2 down at half-time came back to 2-2 but finished 2-4 not bad when they are 2nd in the league and we are 2nd bottom. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRQgKS93/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWbd7Zigkq9/?igsh=OGFrMXVtam92ZmJz

Yesterday I received a really nice surprise from @Ray Newland it was very unexpected but shows how much my efforts are appreciated. I'm not on here for what I can get out of it other then the fact I feel good being able to support other Goalkeepers and parents and love how most are supportive of me. The Ice XTN was the first ever glove I got from J4K so I'm excited to have them back in my collection and I get through my mindset journals so this is very helpful. Thank you so much Ray and J4K ~ I'm proud to be different
