So, having done a LOT of driving this past Thanksgiving, I had a LOT of time to think. Having put all of the Thanksgiving leftovers in the fridge, and munching on turkey sandwiches for days, let's make a Goalkeeper 'Thanks List':
Thanks For--
Parents who give us the opportunity to play. #ThanksMomAndDad
A willingness and desire to play a very hard position. #GoalsAgainstMeanLearning
Teammates #YouGuysMakeThisFUN
Proper Equipment #ThanksMomAndDad
A Coach who believes in you #YouGotThisKid
The chance to play (even if unexpected) #OkKid #YoureIn
Great Saves #YouTrainedForThis
Big mistakes #ShouldHaveTrainedMore
Watching Top Level Pros #ThanksEPL #ThanksLaLiga #ThanksSerieA #ThanksBundesliga
Having GK mentors #ThanksCoach
The Joy of Playing #ManThatWasFun #LetsDoItAgain
Watching Little GKs Train and Play #HeyCoachLookAtThatAirplane
GK Gloves #TheGripIsGreat
Good, soft training grounds #WowNoBruises
Parents #WeLoveWatchingYouPlay #WeBeleiveInYou
The Goalkeeper Union #WeAreAllInThisTogether #WeHaveAllBeenThere
These are just SOME of the things that we can be thankful for as GKs. Remember, GKing is a journey. It's a long, hard process that is worth every minute of toil, trouble, thrills, and tumult. Enjoy your journey!
What are some of the things that YOU as a GK are thankful for?
May the ground beneath your dive be soft. May your goalposts be 3 feet wide. May the opposition shoot everything right at you. #EnjoyYourJourney
All the Best--EV
