I love how you are literally the complete opposite to Modern Goalkeeping in pretty much every aspect: no flamboyant show(-off), no special FX, just plain knowledge and skills. Keep up the good work!
As a 50 year old 5'8" 187 lb. keeper with 3 years of experience, I will accept a $200 a week contract at any time. I am total garbage in goal, I'm not willing to move, and I don't take goal kicks. #oneglove
The league I played in, the 9th tier of English football, there were players signing contracts, most all seemed to be 1 year deals with a 1 year extension option, but it seemed crazy to me, where the majority were on £20-£50 a week + bonuses, that you’d sign a contract for football at that low level. I was playing for free.
I wanted to thank you for your educational videos, they helped me to correct mistakes and reinforce already established good practices. I've been learning by myself for 6 months. My biggest problem is saving everything with legs block save, I use it because of the confidence it gives me and my pitch/goal size isn't as big as normal stadium so I can save basically every shot that way.
The bit about the written contract v verbal promises applies to every contract including your lease, etc. What is written matters, so read it and pay attention. If somebody promises something, make them add it to the contract itself.
It’s pretty messed up that your agent was trying to screw you over. They are supposed to represent you and care about you and try to get you the best possible contract.
I think they did not specially write the contract for you. They just repurposed their usual contract. Which of course means you have t read it as you did. I used to be an attorney before a head injury, and you would see this all the time. They did not want to pay an attorney to rework the contract for a $200/month guys. But they can cross things out.
Unfortunately, England is extremely strict with giving Americans worker permits to play football. From my understanding to qualify you need a certain amount of national team caps. Which is why you pretty much never see Americans in the lower leagues of England unless they have duel citizenship or something. So unless they change that law England won't ever be an option for me.
@@GKGOLUREMI That's a shame (Notts County fan here for the last... many years lol) With England's footballing pyramid, it really is an opportunity for a lot of British men to stay reasonably close to home, develop, and potentially get noticed by a bigger club. Thanks for the response!
In Finnish football we have this thing that foreign players who aren't students or refugees need to be paid around 1200€/month (which you barely stay alive with) in three highest tiers. Below that you're lucky not to pay to play. And Finns themselves... can be offered anything up from 0 at least in 2nd and 3rd tier and below.
@@gink9632 Yeah, they have had a lot of financial troubles the past few years. Got relegated a season or two ago and decided they didn't want to pay to play in the second division so voluntarily dropped to the third.
It's football. Didn't get the results I wanted career wise from Croatia but was a once in a lifetime experience getting to live there and experiencing the Croatian culture for a few years. Zagreb is by far my favorite place I've lived in
@@GKGOLUREMI yh, it's a tough field to break into & Balkan isn't really a place to get proper start anyway... But I'm happy you got some positives out of the entire experience, I always like to follow GKs & watch their progress. Not sure did you hear about Dražen Ladić, but he was the first player that made football fun for me. Hope it works out better in a new place!
I have a really important question about losing confidence . This season was the first real one in my life, the last 3 were cancelled because of Corona. (I am 16 and play in the women’s 3rd highest league in Austria, we are 2nd in our league). Since April 2022 I am getting way better and I gained much confidence. I had one bad game in april 2023 because I made an unlucky mistake, 2 of my teammates were mean to me and since this point I lost my confidence. I know that everyone makes mistakes but one of the two teammates told me that I should like to learn something(I train 4-5 times a week). It is really hard for me to ignore them and listen to the other friendly teammates. The problem of losing my confidence is that I play one good game and the next game is horrible like I never played soccer/football before. Every time before I go to bed I think about great saves I made this season, but I never got my confidence back. What should I do, my goalkeeper coach also don’t know what to do anymore. In july we will get a new coach and I hope that he could help me but mabye you could help me too. Thanks🤍 Edit: sorry if my english is not perfect 🫣
Confidence is a mindset. If you dwell on the past mistakes you make, it’ll affect your decision making and your ability, it’s a recurring cycle that causes you to make more mistakes and this reduces confidence even more. I know this from personal experience. The only way out is to have a mindset of 2 things 1. Where you learn and forget your mistakes. (This way you learn and become better from this, but you understand that it’s the past and you can do, and will do better in the future. 2. To trust yourself and the process. (You know you work hard and train often. Use this for your betterment) Keep doing the right things in training and on the football pitch and good will come out from it. We all make mistakes, so don’t let others talk you down and don’t dwell on them. This does no good for you. Learn and forget, and keep the faith. You’ll become a better and more resilient player from this. I believe in you ⚽️
hey, I've been a futsal goalkeeper for a long time. in futsal you concede a lot and have a lot more scope to make mistakes and also make up for them. you have to accept being a goalkeeper in any form you will make mistakes, its part of the job. how many times do midfielders misplace a pass or strikers miss an easy shot on goal. the only difference between their mistakes and ours is they cost goals. its how you react from those mistakes is what will define you. being a goalkeeper is a hard and often thankless job and unless you play there many just don't understand. as hard as it might be you have to forget the mistakes and move on. try not to listen to outside noise, especially from team mates who might have a lot to say when you make a mistake but are surprisingly quiet when they make one. you play at what seems like a high level so trust in the skills that got you there in the first place, you wouldn't of made it there if you didn't have talent. lastly, trust in yourself and keep your head up. mistakes are learning opportunities, sometimes learning the hard way might be the only way to learn how to prevent those mistakes from happening again. good luck with your future career, seems like it will be a bright one 😎😎

@mats7379 maybe they will send me on loan to my Sunday league team.
That first contract wasn't even $200 a week, it was $200 a month!
Anyone else notice the Fury contract was from March 5th 2018 to March 5th 2018. They messed up on literally the first term...
He should have signed it, got paid for the 1 day, then left🤣

You gonna change that habbit sooner or later.
I guess every goalie is at that point at the beginning.

The one with the fury wasn’t actually my agent. He was just an agent that would reach out to players trying to get them to sign their bs contract
@@GKGOLUREMI Ahhh I see. That makes sense. My apologies then for dissing your agent 😅

Have you tried out the lower leagues of EFL / National League? It'd be good to know about those contracts for the 3rd to 6th division in England.

Here in uk non league football like 7 div below prem get paid way more
Have you found any trouble with clubs in Europe due to work permits and such?
I’m in the dmv area can we train
That is ridiculous terms to agree to. Embarrassing from those clubs.
I would agree to a contract if I'm getting payed good money, good clauses ect
