Kurt reflects on the people who shaped his early years, his experiences in club football, captaining Australia at the World Youth Championship, and the influence of Les Scheinflug on his career. The conversation also covers his return to Tasmania, his move into coaching and football development, his involvement with Football Tasmania, and the challenges and opportunities facing the game in this state. We also discuss Tasmania’s potential for national competition, including A-League and W-League pathways, the atmosphere at KG5, the importance of local football communities, and Kurt’s advice for young players coming through the game.
