My Goalkeeping System

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

The Focus Skill

Dave walked out of the building with the conversation he just had with his father lingering in his mind.

<It's nice to see that things turned out well at last> Catherine said as he made his way to his car.

He got closer to his car and just as he looked at the glass, the image of his father as he said those last words to him popped up in his mind.

"I know that you're going to find it hard to forgive me after all these years, I should have respected your choice but I decided to force my own choices on you and refused to see the light no matter how much your mother tried to make me see it, I know it won't make much sense and you're confused even as I speak but you should know that I have decided to be a good father to you and will do my best to support you in any way I can."

The goalkeeper stared at the glass for a while before he opened the door and entered the car.

He didn't drive off immediately as he wanted to give someone a call first.
