OUR TEAM

CYD Founder

My passion for Football has developed over the last few years from player to coach.

My journey started through wanting to better myself as a coach, but also to hopefully bring coaching courses to my local community.

After many years of seeing no courses available in my local area, I travelled to Sydney to get qualified in many different Football coaching ceritifcates.

After this, I trained as a course presenter with, I believe after experiencing many different presenters, to the be the best presenter in Sydney. Eugene Lawrence. Having learnt a great deal from Eugene, I started my coaching course journey at Central Coast Football.

​​

With the changes in 2023 to Footballs Australia coaching corriculum, I believe we have once again taken a step backwards in our delivery and requirements of coaches in Australia.

​

As such, I have been researching overseas techinques and courses from leading European countries and youth development coaches and decided to put together a system that is more relevant, and more in tune with what our grass roots coaches here in Australia need.
