Episode 7 of the Poonicast continues our conversation with former Whitecaps head coach Vanni Sartini and longtime captain Russell Teibert.

In Part 2, we go deeper into the personal philosophies and experiences that shaped their journeys—from growing up around the game to navigating public criticism and life after professional soccer.

Vanni opens up about his coaching roots in Italy and the values that guided him through his time in Vancouver, while Russell reflects on leadership, resilience, and finding purpose beyond the pitch.

Tune in for a thoughtful and entertaining continuation that blends humour, honesty, and heartfelt reflection from two of Vancouver’s most respected voices in sport.
