Olé Football Academy is pleased to announce the new appointment of Cameron Mackenzie to our evolving roster of technical coaching staff for the 2024 football season.
Cameron joined Olé FA as a player in 2016, before leaving at the end of 2018 for university. After graduating in 2023 from Auckland University of Technology, Cameron has returned to Olé FA as Head of Strength and Conditioning Coach and F11 Head Coach.
Cameron is passionate about ensuring the senior players are optimally conditioned on and off the field to reduce the risk of injuries, while also improving the athletic capabilities that are required to play football. He is also excited to be introducing the D15 and D17 players to off-field training, helping them gain a better understanding of their bodies and benefits.
He brings a great deal of experience and knowledge for the younger players looking to learn, on and off the pitch in addition to building the best environment possible to help the players’ holistic development.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Cam back to Olé.” Koch said. “The academy is a special place and to bring someone back who understands the fabric of what we are doing is an added bonus. I am excited to see Cam aid in taking our players to even higher performance levels.”
The qualifications that Cameron currently holds are the NZF Youth Level 2 and is in the process of completing his NZF C Licence. He holds a Bachelor of Sport and Recreation, Majoring in Sport and Exercise Science from Auckland University of Technology.
Cameron‘s philosophy is, “You don’t rise to the level of your expectations, you fall to the level of your training” – Archilochus
