Unfortunately, there were very few options, especially for a goalkeeper, many local clubs would not even let me train with them, mainly because I had never played football before, this is so unfair. My mum and dad searched tirelessly so I could train somewhere, they found a place called Carvalho International Football Academy in Norwich, I have not looked back, my first season 2022/23 playing for the academy team was a very tough experience at the start, a novice goalkeeper playing with a group of players that have played for many years before. To say I was nervous is an understatement, upset with myself, making mistakes, and worried about what the other players would think and what the coaches would say. What surprised me is that, unlike many other clubs in the area, I did not get moaned at, what I got was support and encouragement from everybody involved.
