what's good guys tyler back gk goal
00:00:12
ready so today's video is me going over
00:00:14
tips on how to prepare and perform at
00:00:16
trial so whenever you guys are invited
00:00:17
on trial you guys want to be as sharp as
00:00:20
possible so your number one priority
00:00:21
should be to be involved in some sort of
00:00:24
team training leading up to your trial
00:00:26
and it really doesn't matter if the team
00:00:28
that you're going to be currently
00:00:29
training with is playing at a lower
00:00:31
level than the team that you're going to
00:00:32
go trial for just because team
00:00:34
training's how you improve the quickest
00:00:36
and also the quickest way to get into
00:00:38
form like for me personally whenever i'm
00:00:40
back home maybe in a mid-season break or
00:00:42
out of contract i've been training with
00:00:43
a club called nova fc which is a mix of
00:00:45
current college players ex-college
00:00:47
players and then you also have some
00:00:49
current pros or x-pros that play there
00:00:51
as well so even though that level isn't
00:00:53
as high as where i've been playing
00:00:55
overseas it's still a lot better for me
00:00:57
to at least get some team training in
00:00:59
there instead of just doing individual
00:01:01
sessions with say another goalkeeper of
00:01:03
course it's not always gonna be possible
00:01:04
to be involved in team trainings and
00:01:06
when that happens the next best option
00:01:08
is to find another goalkeeper or a group
00:01:10
of goalkeepers to train with again when
00:01:11
i'm back home there's a group of
00:01:12
goalkeepers i like to train with to stay
00:01:14
sharp and just know that when you guys
00:01:16
are looking for goalkeepers to train
00:01:18
with just know that the best thing you
00:01:20
can bring to the table is your service
00:01:22
because when we're deciding if we want
00:01:23
to invite a goalkeeper to one of our
00:01:25
sessions or not we're really basing it
00:01:26
off of how good their service is we'd
00:01:28
much rather have a 17 year old with a
00:01:30
really clean service maybe not as strong
00:01:32
in goal instead of a 24 year old who's
00:01:35
really good in goal but can't really hit
00:01:37
a ball properly so we can't get our work
00:01:38
in so just know that if you guys have a
00:01:40
clean service it should be really easy
00:01:42
for you to find some other goalkeepers
00:01:44
that will want to train with you and
00:01:45
your last tip for your preparation is to
00:01:46
be really smart that last week before
00:01:49
your trial actually starts you guys
00:01:51
during this week won't want to be doing
00:01:52
two trainings a day you're not going to
00:01:53
want to be on the field for three hours
00:01:55
a day because the last thing you want is
00:01:58
to be feeling fatigued have heavy legs
00:02:00
maybe be dealing with some minor
00:02:01
injuries before your trial starts you
00:02:03
really want to be as fresh as possible
00:02:05
when your trial is beginning also if
00:02:07
your trial is in a foreign country where
00:02:09
they don't speak your native language
00:02:10
take the time to memorize a few simple
00:02:12
commands in their language so you guys
00:02:13
will be able to communicate on the field
00:02:15
a lot better than going in and then
00:02:17
having to try to learn everything on the
00:02:19
field so once you're at the trial make
00:02:20
sure you introduce yourself to the
00:02:21
coaches try to have a little bit of
00:02:23
small talk it's a really simple way to
00:02:24
make yourself stand out a bit more
00:02:26
compared to players who don't do this
00:02:27
and as far as playing goes a lot easier
00:02:30
said than done but you really want to
00:02:31
just be as relaxed as possible trust
00:02:33
that all the training and work you've
00:02:34
put in has prepared you to play well and
00:02:36
you guys just have to make sure that you
00:02:38
are not playing scared if you normally
00:02:40
like to play aggressive off your line
00:02:41
play aggressive off your line if you
00:02:43
like to really play a lot of passes out
00:02:45
of the back play a lot of passes out of
00:02:46
the back just play the way you like to
00:02:48
play if you play scared it's only going
00:02:50
to hurt you also make sure that you guys
00:02:52
don't panic if you make a big mistake
00:02:54
when i got scouted by ropes in finland's
00:02:56
top tier during the original combine i
00:03:00
made a massive mistake trying to play
00:03:02
out of the back just completely mishit a
00:03:03
ball of my left foot they scored but i
00:03:06
ended up staying composed after had a
00:03:08
really good game outside of that and
00:03:10
once i ended up signing the coach
00:03:12
actually said that that mistake helped
00:03:14
me out in the long run because he was
00:03:15
more interested in seeing how i would
00:03:17
respond to that mistake than you know
00:03:19
actually making the mistake itself so
00:03:21
again if you guys make a mistake in your
00:03:22
trial just try to be relaxed reset and
00:03:25
just focus on the next play also you
00:03:27
guys have to know that communication is
00:03:29
huge at trials it shows that you have
00:03:30
confidence and also a good understanding
00:03:32
of the game and its tactics if you guys
00:03:34
are a little lost on how you should be
00:03:35
communicating just check out my video on
00:03:37
the basics of communication so the first
00:03:39
thing you should be doing to help you
00:03:40
out with this is learning the names of
00:03:42
your defenders or your back four since
00:03:44
it's not going to be possible to
00:03:45
properly communicate if you don't know
00:03:47
those names and if you guys are as bad
00:03:48
with names as i am you're gonna have to
00:03:50
ask the players made three or four times
00:03:52
on the field and if you have to ask
00:03:53
multiple times don't worry about it
00:03:55
nobody on the field cares if you forgot
00:03:56
their name just ask them their name
00:03:58
again they'll tell you and just try to
00:04:00
remember it this time and again if you
00:04:01
forget just ask them again it really
00:04:03
doesn't matter and if you're really good
00:04:05
with names you can try learning the
00:04:06
midfielders names as well but really you
00:04:08
just need the back four for a trial
00:04:10
setting and then obviously make sure
00:04:11
that you guys are being respectful to
00:04:13
the coaches the staff and the other
00:04:14
players i mean i've seen really really
00:04:16
good players that ability wise could
00:04:18
definitely sign at professional clubs
00:04:21
and just their attitude their demeanor
00:04:24
just they rubbed other players or their
00:04:26
coaches the wrong way and they didn't
00:04:27
get signed and you guys do not want to
00:04:30
not get signed because of something
00:04:32
that's a hundred percent in your control
00:04:34
of how you act around everybody versus
00:04:37
something that's out of your control
00:04:39
sometimes of your performance where you
00:04:40
can just have a bad day but you guys can
00:04:42
always have a positive attitude you can
00:04:45
always help out moving the goals getting
00:04:47
the balls picking up trash little things
00:04:49
like that can go a long way when a coach
00:04:52
is trying to decide maybe between two
00:04:54
players that are similar ability wise
00:04:56
but have very different personalities
00:04:58
also know that the football world is a
00:05:00
very small world and everybody's
00:05:02
connected so if you act like a fool at
00:05:04
one trial with one club there's a good
00:05:06
chance that a lot of other clubs in the
00:05:08
area and coaches are gonna hear about
00:05:10
that and you're gonna actually not only
00:05:12
ruin your chance for the opportunity at
00:05:14
this club but ruin your chance for
00:05:15
opportunity at a bunch of other clubs as
00:05:17
well so after the trial hopefully you
00:05:19
sign or you're picked to join them for
00:05:20
preseason or something like that but if
00:05:23
you're not you guys again just be
00:05:24
respectful to the coaches you can try to
00:05:27
get some feedback from them what they
00:05:28
think you should improve what you should
00:05:30
work on what you do well kind of simple
00:05:33
things like that you can also ask them
00:05:34
if they know any other coaches or clubs
00:05:36
in the area that might be interested
00:05:37
with you and make sure that you get
00:05:38
their contact information so maybe down
00:05:41
the line after you improved a bit more
00:05:43
you could try to organize another trial
00:05:45
for them again next year you guys don't
00:05:47
give up just because you get rejected at
00:05:48
a trial i've been rejected at multiple
00:05:50
trials just focus on getting back to
00:05:52
work and making it so that you're gonna
00:05:54
be better prepared for your next
00:05:55
opportunity as goalkeepers we have the
00:05:57
advantage where we can think more long
00:05:59
term since our careers can last a lot
00:06:01
longer than field players so
00:06:03
again if you get rejected don't panic
00:06:05
just get back to work and just try to
00:06:07
seize your next opportunity but anyways
00:06:09
