SBMT AFC today announced its youth teamย coaching appointments for season 2022.
According to the clubโs Director of Football, Joe Galati, the appointments are reflective of the clubโs key objective to attract volunteer coaches with a growth mindset and commitment to ongoing learning.
โOur coaches are our lead educators and the custodians of youth talent. We hold the firm belief at SBMT that good coaches never stop learning and we need to create a developmentย focusedย environment thatย best supportsย thisโย said Galati.
The new appointments further enhance, what is already a highly respected AFL coaching panel, comprising three AFL Level 2 accredited coaches and numerous AFL development academy coaches.
Theย keyย additionsย of Andrew Saultry (former club VAFA under 19sย midfieldย coach and current SFNL Division 1 assistant coach), Chelsea Bowen (Former Mentone Grammar AFL Coach),ย Brayden OโToole (SBMTย VAFA Seniors player) &ย Russell Gouldย (acclaimedย basketball coach)ย will significantly bolster the clubโs coaching ranks.
โI am confident that Andrew, Chelsea, Brayden & Russell will complement our
re-appointedย seniorย coaches Lou Colella, Tighe Chandler, Natalie Corrigan,
Stuart Curran, Tony Corcoran and Jason Swainโ, said Galati.
โTo also have the depth and quality of someย highly talented lineย coaches like
Paul McCormack,ย Aldo Mangoni, Shaun Napier,ย Chloe Saultryย & Georgia Wilsonย supporting our senior coachesย is just amazingโ, said Galati.
โWe are so fortunate at SBMT, that we have a highly connected development pathway from juniors, youth to seniorโs football and our programme is builtย onย ourย coaches allย working together in sync to uphold the pillars of our curriculum and ensure a tailored transitionโ, said Galati.
With a laser like focus on developing its people (coaches and players alike), the future looks bright for this proudย and storiedย communityย footballย club.
