In this episode I’m joined by AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper Zaki Oualah. Zaki has been on an incredible journey through non-league and recently signed his first professional contract with AFC Wimbeldon in the Football League. At 5’10, he is an inspiration and example to many goalkeepers that height is simply a limitation of the mind. He talks about his approaches to mindset, the methods behind his success and how the law of attraction can make goals and aspirations become a reality.

We discuss:

• The relentless pursuit of goals and never knowing how close you are to success
• The unseen work behind success and enjoying the process
• How faith can provide guidance and meaning beyond the pitch
• Dealing with anxiety over height and not caring about what people think
• Why perceived limitations over height are only a construct of the mind
• The importance of loving yourself to build self-confidence
• Developing superstrengths and using them to compensate for your weaknesses
• The importance of training the body and the mind in pursuit of high-performance
• The fundamental message to goalkeepers who are worried about how their height will impact their career and future

There will be many goalkeepers out there who are anxious or concerned about how their height will impact their chances of becoming a professional footballer. This episode will give you tools and methods on how you can begin to develop superstrenghts around your game so that height becomes a nonfactor.

If there’s one episode I’d recommend to change your perspective about goalkeeping, mindset and height…this is it.
