[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many GK parents on this forum have had their kid lit up for 8+ goals in a half or match? How did you help them deal with that? Are they still a GK now?[/quote]

This doesn’t bother my kid because the goals were not all on them at that point. It’s been a much harder loss when the team has been tied the entire time ans lost at the very end. Either on a goal or worse, on penalty kicks. Yes, still a GK now.  [/quote]

Always remind your GK, the other parents and the coach that everyone else failed at their job if the ball ever gets to the GK. [/quote]

Every goal scored on you is going to feel like you made a mistake. Sometimes you did, sometimes you didn’t. Every single GK gets scored on, a lot, get used to brushing it off. Stand up and get ready for the next play because it does you no good to dwell on the past during the game. You can work on holes in your GK technique later outside of games. And like PPs said, it’s a team sport and when a goal gets scored it’s because of multiple failures not just the GK missing a save.[/quote]
