The boys are very lucky. Their Grampy, a retired goalkeeper & coach, logs every performance & tracks their stats. As goalkeepers in the development phase they need someone to give them guidance & feedback. Tom’s in the USA so he’s not currently being tracked. H’s stats to follow

[The Williams goalkeepers @TGoalkeepers]

Tom is home for Christmas having had a very successful first term! More photos and updates to follow!

[South Wales Goalkeeper Centre @SouthWalesGK1]

SWGK Scholars were lucky enough on camp today to have a Q&A with current Scholar Tom who is home on his Christmas break 🇺🇸✈️📚⚽️

Tom arrived at USA on a scholarship! @collegeofidaho

[The Williams goalkeepers @TGoalkeepers]

And now for the soccer.
USA look at soccer in a different way to UK. In UK it’s on performance regardless of age. In USA the seniors get the games.
But Tom has had one friendly match. Exceptional distribution and command to the team. Hopefully he will get more chances!

[The Williams goalkeepers @TGoalkeepers]

And then there were Harry’s GCSE results! He followed in his brother’s path! Almost all A* and A with a couple of Bs. And a distinction in advanced maths to go with the two A*

[The Williams goalkeepers @TGoalkeepers]

On the day of the A level results Tom was having his media shots in @collegeofidaho safe to say he passed them all! 💪💪💪💪

Trip to Vegas and Utah for a couple of friendlies
