Show Notes:
How did Gotham FC’s cricket and rugby loving, Aussie-born goalkeeper coach, Brody Sams, fall in love with soccer? What advice does he have for goal-stoppers and goal-scorers to help them reach their dreams? Why does he think expecting perfection can hurt our performance and accepting mistakes can help us succeed? Does he prefer coaching or playing? And what does he miss most about living in Australia? In this episode, Brody answers these questions and so many more!!!!
One of the things that struck me the most about this conversations was Brody’s deep level of insight. From his unique perspectives on the importance of the goalkeeper position, to the links he sees between soccer skills and lifetime success, to the way he integrates mental techniques like box breathing and anchoring into his performance (and coaching) routine…Brody speaks like exactly what he is…a professional level soccer and performance coach!
So whether you are a striker or goalkeeper, a player or coach, this episode is a great opportunity to step inside the mind of a professional goalkeeper coach and learn how to be the best person and player you can be!
And Brody’s wisdom not only comes from his youth playing days in Australia, but also from his time coaching at the youth and senior levels in Australia, including the professional club Brisbane Roar and now, Gotham FC of the NWSL.
We also feature a question sent in by a player from Schreiber HS in Port Washington and Port Washington Soccer Club, as well as a question from my daughter and co-host, Elizabeth, of the Racing Louisville Youth Academy.
I hope you enjoy!
Yours in soccer and health,
