Ep10: When the Door Shuts: How to Transition with Goalie Robert Kolak

We talk to former Newcastle Jets goalkeeper Robert Kolak about his young start in Western Sydney, the advantages of playing up an age bracket, and the ‘lucky’ and ‘unlucky’ breaks that would shape his career. After an incredible start that led to him getting offers from European clubs, a collapsed contract sent him on a different path. These experiences showed Rob the importance of giving young players the mental preparation so they are truly ready for their big break—as well as the tools to cope when things don’t work out as planned.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
