  • Safe Hands - Ep.9

    This week we were lucky enough to sit down with goalkeeper and good friend of CALCIOCLUB, Francesco “Frank” Favata, and talk, mostly laugh, about his awesome footballing career to date. Frank trailled at some huge clubs around Europe and has a library of stories that come with each experience, from hardship to living in a house full of goalkeepers and everything in between. 

    Do yourself a favor, sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy the ride.

  • Korakas From 3! - Ep.8

    We don’t discriminate here on, The Almost Made It Podcast, as we chat with our first non-football-related guest, Nick Korakas. Nick dreamt of playing basketball at the highest level choosing to leave Oz, in search of greener pastures, or should we say, shinier courts, through the US college system. 

    We discuss the ups and downs of attempting to make it to the big leagues, college life, and what sports mean to each of us. Everyone has a tale, no matter what the shape of the court, pitch, or ball!!

  • Football Is In Good Hands - Ep.5

    This week, we interview a close friend, Franke Barilla, who instead of dreaming of scoring at the San Siro, opted for arguably the tougher job of coaching. Despite only being in his twenties, he has already had a wealth of experience, learning his trade in Europe, and now is tasked with the responsibility of coaching the under-18 Melbourne City side. His views on Football, Player development, and how he wants to change the game for the better are truly inspiring. Trust us it's a good one!
