Whitecaps Academy and KESA welcome Austin Duffy!

Austin’s coaching philosophy centres on creating a positive, challenging environment that prioritizes decision-making, technical execution, and communication. He emphasizes the ability not only to choose and execute the right action, but also to effectively connect with teammates to achieve collective success. His ultimate goal is to build strong players, better teammates, and well-rounded individuals both on and off the field.

Austin has been coaching for over 10 years, working with players across multiple age groups and competitive environments. Before joining the Whitecaps Kootenay East Academy, he led youth programs and supported club development initiatives in Southern Ontario. He also holds a CONCACAF B Licence and continues to pursue advanced coach education to stay aligned with modern best practices in the game.

He is excited to be in Cranbrook and looks forward to supporting the local soccer community both on and off the field.
