About the Coach
No two attackers are the same, nor should they be.
Behind every player is a human, Different build, experiences, strength, weaknesses, and understanding. The one size fits all has ultimately slowed Australia's output of attacking players and I am extremely passionate about changing that.
Football Education
Bachelor of Football — ACPE
In November, I will have achieved a Bachelor of Football, the 2nd ever cohort of graduates and the first of it's kind in Australia. Some subjects that have the closest relation to BTL can include: Athlete Talent ID and Development, Advanced Training Principles, Skill Acquisition, 2 Performance Analysis Classes, High Performance coaching and 5 other coaching subjects, Player Wellbeing, and Work intergraded learning.
Outside of the tertiary education, I hold my C-Diploma, and will be beginning my B-Diploma within 2 months. I have attended over 10 coaching related courses within the past 3 years and as a side note play just for fun in the Shire Premier League.
Pathway Experience
Grassroots to A-League.
I understand the demands at each stage, what coaches are looking for, and what separates players who make it from those who plateau. Different demands and each stage require specific coaching to climb the ladder. All programs mirror framework by elite clubs to achieve the required level.

The Philosophy
Why Attacking Players. Why Now.
Australia has a development gap
There is a plethora of reasons why development overseas is more effective than down under. One of the main reasons is because we develop players to compete for results, which hinders development. Between the Lines aims to tackle this issue through it's sessions.
Attacking is my strength
I'm not trying to be everything to everyone. Midfielders, wingers, and forwards but ultimatley players who influence the game going forward. That's where my knowledge is deepest and where I can make the biggest difference.
Long-term development over short-term results
I'm not interested in making players look good for one season. I want to build footballers who keep improving into their 20s and beyond. That means doing the unglamorous work — positioning, movement patterns, decision-making under pressure.
