Intro:

This week, I’m excited to bring on my of my best mates to the show, current International age group coach, Alana Gunn.

Gunnie and I have been close friends for over 20 years and have shared a lot of time and coaching environments together but I’m so proud to see her forging her own career on the international stage over these past few years.

Having spent the last 10 years coaching in not only some of the best female environments in NZ, but also collecting trophies along her journey, Gunnie now leads the talent development & ID whilst bossing the U16 & U17 national football teams.
