#008 Off the Pitch with Active: Interview with Michael Matricciani, Australian College of Sport Football-Director of Coaching, FFSA U17 Girls Head Coach

Today I welcome Michael Matricciani back to Off the Pitch with
Active for a 2nd time. This episode was recorded back Jan 2018
when he was the owner of Soccajoeys, a non-competitive football
program for 2.5-8-year old’s.


We are now in May ’18 and he recently sold it after 5 years as
the Owner/Director so he could focus more on his coaching and his
promotion as Australian College of Sport Football-Coaching
Director.


It is an absolute pleasure for me to announce that Michael
Matricciani has also put his hand up for involvement in the
Yellow for Yelling Awareness and Educational program for parents
with children in sport.


His experience is comprehensive; Ex professional player
(including U20 young Socceroos & U23 Olyroos), 3 years as
Technical Director of CCSC, 5 years as Director/Owner of
Soccajoeys and current ACS Football-Director of Coaching. He is
also FFSA U17 (NTC) Girls Head Coach, developing players for
future Matilda’s (for non-Australian listeners Matilda’s is the
Australia Women’s National Football Team, who currently is ranked
6 in the world by FIFA.


Combine this experience with his coaching qualification including
AFC/FFA A License plus FFA instructor and other certified
courses, Michael will help raise awareness of the Yellow for
Yelling program amongst higher level coaches and educators.


I got so excited when he offered to get involved so I began
searching for this coming interview. It was recorded back in Jan
’18, when we had a chat about Soccajoeys and setting up the
foundation for a successful life by providing a safe learning
environment in sport.


It is a great podcast and it will touch your heart if you are
coaching kids or are a parent with a younger child.
