  Nathan Baxter: How Losing a Teammate £30 Showed Me the Reality of Men's Football | Watford & Chelsea

  Aug 20, 20261h 44mS2

  Nathan Baxter reveals why leaving the Chelsea academy environment to play non-league football at just 17 became one of the best decisions of his goalkeeping career. From training with Chelsea’s first team to playing for Met Police, Solihull Moors and Woking, Nathan explains why young goalkeepers need games, how senior football accelerated his development and what Premier League academy football simply couldn’t teach him. He talks about dealing with mistakes, getting dropped for the first time, learning the pressure of playing for points and money, struggling with his kicking, developing his decision-making and why stepping down the pyramid can actually be a massive step forward. _______________________________ Powered by One Glove Watch this episode on our YouTube Channel .
