My Take

Goalkeepers hold a special place in my mind, and Jason Batty's arc resonates with me deeply. An Aucklander who guarded New Zealand's net throughout the 1990s, he took on the loneliest, bravest job on the pitch at 183 cm of last-line resolve. What I find compelling is what came after: educated at Dartmouth, he returned to coach goalkeepers for his national team and mentored players in Texas. The move from defending the goal to developing those who will is a graceful one. I respect athletes who refuse to vanish at retirement and instead hand their hard-won knowledge to the next generation.
