Simon Gerathy is a successful businessman in the various world of marketing & sports and someone I came to know in my earlier years at Coastal Spirit.

His oldest son Liam was a promising young footballer who made his debut for the national league team Canterbury United Dragons after spending time at one of NZs best footballing institutes, the Ole Academy.

Liam didn’t quite make the transition to a professional athlete and has since turned his passion for football into non-playing roles, namely coaching & analysis with some major clubs in Sydney, Western Sydney Wanderers and Manly United.

For me, opening up conversations with parents such as Simon, who have been right there on the difficult journey of transitioning from talented youngster to experienced pro does not occur enough. 

Through taking in the observations of parents, it will only serve to help us become better coaches, administrators, athletes and also parents. 

It’s time to treat parents as allies, rather than advisories.

On this episode, we chat with NZ football coach, Ben Bate

Ben works as the Director of women's Football at Auckland United, where he looks after the female pathway in terms of methodology, philosophy and progression of talented players from youth to senior ranks and hopefully onto international honours.

I’ve known and worked with Ben for the past 8 years, initially as my analyst with the NZF U17 team. Before coming to NZ, Ben worked as an analyst with New Saints in Wales and has since branched more into the coaching space, where he has worked with different NZ age groups teams as well as achieving success winning the NZ National Womens league twice, once with AFF and recently with his current club Auckland United.

On this episode we chat with professional footballer, Lily Alfeld.

Having experienced the great highs of representing her country numerous times at youth levels before heading to the US to play College Soccer where things didn’t quite go to plan, she returned to NZ where she rediscovered her love for the game.

Lily then headed to Australia where she played in the Australian A league for Perth Glory, before returning to NZ to sign on with the Wellington Phoenix as their inaugural signing and captain.

As she STRIVEs her way back to full health following a serious back injury Lily shares with us her learnings from her time aboard as well as the joys of representing New Zealand and her desire to play for the Football Ferns.
