In this episode I’m joined by Coventry City goalkeeper Simon Moore. Simon is one of the EFL’s most high-performance goalkeepers, beginning his career in non-league before a earning his first professional contract in the league with Brentford FC. A series of loans and a subsequent promotion winning season at Sheffield United quickly established him as one of the league’s most consistent performers. We go on a journey to uncover the pivotal mindset moments that have define the goalkeeper he has become.

We discuss:

• Why persistence is the key to creating opportunities for yourself
• Navigating League football with no Academy background
• Dealing with pressure, mistakes and overthinking
• The importance of self-development, mindset and psychologist in holistic goalkeeping development
• The impact role models can have during your career
• Finding your flow and the power of instinct
• Being a number 2 and consistently applying yourself for long-term rewards
• Working with Aaron Ramsdale and how confidence is a skill

This is perhaps one of the best episodes recorded on the podcast and covers a range of topics which will add significant value to your game. Simon has a vast range of experiences at all levels of the pyramid, and I know that there’s someone out there who is going to massively benefit from this episode. If you want to know what holistic goalkeeping development looks like, this episode is for you. Your career, your choice.
