Football Coach | Football Australia / AFC A Diploma | High-Performance & Player Development
Yarra Rangers FC
Dear Hiring Committee,
I am writing to express my strong interest in the Football Coach position with Yarra Rangers FC. Holding a Football Australia / AFC A Diploma alongside a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science from Deakin University, I have built my coaching practice around structured tactical periodisation, evidence-based physical conditioning, and structured player pathways within Victorian state football competitions.
In my current role as Head Coach of the Senior Men's Team at Port Phillip Athletic FC, I oversee tactical preparation, training session design, and match-day management. To sharpen competitive performance, I established an objective video analysis workflow using Hudl, producing structured opponent scouting dossiers and pre-match briefings. In addition, by collaborating closely with physical performance staff to monitor training loads, our squad achieved a 22% reduction in non-contact soft tissue injuries across two seasons while sustaining competitive intensity.
Fostering sustainable squad depth is central to my methodology. At Port Phillip Athletic FC, I implemented tailored individual development plans that successfully integrated six youth academy players into regular first-team matchday squads. Combined with my previous background designing comprehensive youth curriculums and conducting detailed individual video feedback, I ensure that both emerging talent and established senior players understand their roles within the collective game model.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my tactical background, sport science foundations, and player development experience can contribute to the ongoing success of Yarra Rangers FC. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jordan Bailey
