JimmY Muongsene
Head Coach/Founder
Jimmy is the founder and head coach of Motivate Football, a community-driven academy built on helping young players improve not only their football skills, but also their mindset and character. His coaching focuses heavily on mental toughness, discipline, confidence, and resilience, with the belief that football is a powerful tool to shape better human beings for life. Jimmy works closely with players of all ages, taking pride in seeing them grow in self-belief, respect, and work ethic, both on and off the field. For him, success isn’t just about goals scored or games won, but about developing kids into grounded, humble, and motivated people.
​
Jimmy’s journey in football is rooted in hard work rather than natural talent. He openly shares that he was never the best player at his club, but he was always willing to put in extra work outside of team training to improve his skills. Through individual sessions, repetition, and a strong desire to get better, he learned firsthand the value of consistency and self-development. That experience now shapes the way he coaches, inspiring players who may not see themselves as the most gifted, but who are willing to work. His message is simple and powerful: with effort, mindset, and belief, improvement is always possible.
Gabriel wilk
Senior Coach
​Gabriel Wilk is one of our senior coaches, bringing extensive experience coaching first-grade teams and securing multiple Canberra premierships. He also played at the highest level in Argentina, sharing the field with legends like Diego Maradona and other top-tier Argentine professionals.
Gabriel is renowned for his deep football knowledge, covering all aspects of the game — from technical skills and tactical play to fitness, attacking and defensive strategies, possession-based training, and strength and conditioning for players of all ages and skill levels.
​
He has strong relationships with Club Atletico San Jorge in Argentina where we have taken our players for a training camp to improve and learn the Argentine way. Some of our players have remained in Argentina to play in the local league so they can become better players when returning to Australia or going abroad.
Santos
senior coach
Santos is a dedicated junior coach at Motivate Football who has a natural ability to connect with kids and make them feel comfortable, valued, and confident. He creates a positive and supportive environment where young players are encouraged to express themselves, make mistakes, and learn without fear. Through his calm approach and genuine care, Santos helps players build confidence in their football ability while also teaching them important values such as respect, teamwork, and humility. Kids respond strongly to his energy because they know he believes in them, and that belief helps them grow.
​
Beyond football skills, Santos plays an important role in shaping young players into better human beings. He leads by example, showing kindness, patience, and selflessness in every session. Santos understands that every child develops at a different pace, and he takes the time to support each player individually, helping them grow not only as footballers but as people. His focus on character, confidence, and effort ensures that players leave each session feeling better about themselves, carrying those lessons into school, family life, and the wider community.
