I see this sentiment a lot and I know a lot of it is joking but want to reiterate if a kid wants to be a goalie it’s an incredible journey. They learn and mature faster than a lot of other players, they become self reliant, they have to learn to regulate emotions, it’s hard physically and mentally. There’s so much more.
It was hard at times and yup it’s damn expensive but again wouldn’t trade it, it’s what he wanted and I’m proud of him. We are in our final year of U18, can’t believe the journey is over.
