Our great coach on this episode is John Aloisi

John Aloisi is a former Australian professional soccer player and now head coach.

He enjoyed a 20-year career across top leagues in Europe and Australia, becoming the first Australian to play and score in La Liga, the Premier League, and Serie A.

Internationally, Aloisi earned 55 caps for the Socceroos, scoring 27 goals, and represented Australia at the 2006 World Cup, three Confederations Cups, and the 2004 Olympics.

After retiring in 2011, Aloisi transitioned into coaching. He managed Melbourne Heart, Brisbane Roar, and since 2021 has led Western United, guiding them to their first A-League Men Championship in 2022.

And it left me with these questions to reflect on:

• Do I verbalise gratitude enough?
• How can I better refine failure for my team?
• What mental strength training can I instigate for the team?
