Scott Loach: Converting Weaknesses into Superpowers

In this Episode I’m re-joined on the podcast by Chesterfield goalkeeper Scott Loach. Loachy moved to Chesterfield at the beginning of the 2021/22 season after being put on furlough by Barnet towards the end of the Pandemic. Since leaving, he has arguably had one of the most eventful years in his career as a goalkeeper; being called up to the England C squad and facing Chelsea at Stanford Bridge. We reflect on the past year and uncover the secrets to converting weaknesses into superpowers. We discuss: <ul> <li>The mental battles of being away from football for prolonged periods of time</li> <li>Compartmentalising life on and off the pitch and giving full commitment</li> <li>How to overcome the fear of failure and mistakes</li> <li>The importance of building working relationships in the world of football</li> <li>How train your mindset through learning from your past experiences</li> <li>How to approach playing against the European Champions</li> <li>The differences between premier league and national league goalkeepers</li> <li>Flat whites and biscuits</li> <li>Advice to young goalkeepers about the steps they need to take to forge a successful career in the game</li> <li>The benefits of senior football vs playing U23s for development</li> <li>Mindset books to help you become a high-performer.</li> </ul> <p>This episode is packed full of knowledge and advice for keepers looking to progress and advance in the game. Loachy has so much experience to share and I can honestly say that some of the advice in this episode is second to none.</p> <p>To keep up-to-date with Loachy, you can follow him on:</p> <p>@scottloachgk (Instagram). @S1goalkeeping (Twitter)</p> <p>Thanks again to our Sponsor Saviour GK, providing goalkeepers with scientifically engineered, evidence-based gloves to support the next generation of high-performers.</p> <p><a href= "https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.saviourgk.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C376d6b8a8cc24b4df23b08da16571af1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0
