Sydney, NSW Welcoming new franchisee Michael Whalley from Grasshopper Soccer Eastern Suburbs

When it comes to Michael Whalley, the man doesn’t require an introduction. He has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and is a powerhouse of energy and creativity. And now he has teamed up with Grasshopper Soccer to train the next generation of soccer players!

Coaching for Kids Bondi

Mike hails from Christchurch and has been living in Sydney for the last 15 years. He has starred in Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken, Adrien Brodie’s Backtrack, and John Maclean’s Slow West (where he worked with Michael Fassbender and Ben Mendelsohn). In 2017, he played the pivotal lead in the Australian independent feature film, The Pretend One.

Yet there is another side to Michael that not many people know of, a love for sports. Being a sportsperson, he had been looking for an adventure that would combine his love of the entertainment industry. This he found in the shape of Australia’s premier non-competitive kids soccer program, Grasshopper Soccer.

With Grasshopper Soccer, Michael will be active in the kids soccer eastern suburbs Sydney scene. So look out for him onstage, on TV, and down at the park at his Grasshopper Soccer Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs locations!

However, there is another reason why Michael Whalley decided to become a Grasshopper Soccer franchisee. Because Grasshopper Soccer is a lucrative and financially rewarding business model. Because, unlike other businesses that require your constant attention and drain your energy, Grasshopper Soccer asks for a few of your hours every week. 

This means that you can spend your precious time doing things you like, like Michael, while still being active with the kids and showing them how to become better people through the power of soccer. So if you too want to be like Mike and invest your energies into a business that pays well, then consider becoming a Grasshopper Soccer franchisee today.
