Trialing in Portugal: Believing in Yourself First

NXTLVL Footballer

In this powerful episode, we share a raw, behind-the-scenes account of Carson’s summer of adversity as he battled back from injury and stepped into trials with S.U. Sintrense—a Portuguese club where no one knew his name, his story, or his level.

This is more than a football story. It’s a story about self-belief, resilience, and starting from zero in a foreign football culture.

🎧 You’ll hear:

• How Carson prepared physically and mentally after injury
• The role his personal team of advisors played in getting him ready
• The mindset needed to trial where you’re unknown—and unproven
• What it feels like to walk into a session where you're just another kid in a bib
• How determination and belief in yourself matter as much as raw talent

Whether your child is preparing for a trial or you're navigating the unknowns of European football yourself, this episode is filled with insight, inspiration, and the reality check that success comes from consistent work, trust in your journey, and belief in your game—even when no one else sees it yet.
