STOP CALLING THEM TRIALS.
As a kid, we never called them trials.
We called them training opportunities.
I missed out.
I was released.
I trained with some incredible clubs and learned that one session never defines a goalkeeper.
So why do we make 10 and 11-year-olds feel like their dream is over?
Maybe we don’t need fewer opportunities.
Maybe we just need to stop calling them trials.
