  • Maarten Paes – Leading from the Back: Resilience, Heritage, and the Goalkeeper’s Mindset

    Maarten Paes – Leading from the Back: Resilience, Heritage, and the Goalkeeper’s Mindset
    Oct 6 2025
    Join Brendan P. Keegan on The Fearless Experience for an inspiring conversation with Maarten Paes, starting goalkeeper for FC Dallas and the Indonesian National Team. Maarten opens up about his journey from backup to clutch performer—recalling his nerve-wracking professional debut at 19, where a last-minute substitution led to a shutout victory. He reveals how resilience shapes his leadership: embracing meditation and mental coaching to silence distractions, seizing unexpected opportunities (like his viral penalty-save debut for Indonesia), and honoring his heritage by representing his grandmother’s homeland in a heartfelt tribute just months before her passing. Discover the unique pressures of leading from the goal—where mistakes are magnified and composure is everything. Maarten shares how he energizes teams from the back, celebrates "suffering" in defense, and balances individual accolades with collective success. Through stories of mentors who grounded him after failures and his viral integration into Indonesian culture (complete with mustache-inspired song tributes!), he unpacks humility’s power—citing Ryan Holiday’s "Ego is the Enemy"—and his legacy goals: trophies, inspiring future generations, and being remembered as "a cool dude who did everything for his craft." A masterclass in mental toughness and purposeful leadership.
