Tampa Bay Goalkeeper Academy

• Founder

  • Feb 2022 - Present

  Excited to be launching the Tampa Bay Goalkeeper Academy this year. My goal of the TBGKA is to give high level goalkeepers a place to learn from former professionals who have the experience and knowledge to develop young goalkeepers into next level talent. After 11 years of playing professionally, I return to the Tampa area with a wealth of knowledge, experience and connections that only a few people have and I'm excited to pay it forward with goalkeepers in the local community.

As an Academy coach, I was able to develop skills as a coach and use my experiences as a professional to help young goalkeepers in their pursuit of professional careers. Show less



It Had To Be Told Publishing

• Founder / Author

  • Jan 2017 - Apr 2022

  Growing up, I was all about sports – football, soccer, baseball, you name it. If it wasn’t sports related, I wasn’t interested. My love for sports is a passion that has shaped my entire life. I am fortunate to play soccer for a living, but it’s bigger than that. My most cherished childhood memories are centered around watching a big game; my relationship with my wife sparked by a mutual love for Penn State football, and my passion for Tampa Bay sports keeps me close to home, even though we’ve moved all over the country. I owe so much of my life to sports. The idea to tell these stories came about after the birth of my daughter, Remy. I wanted to create a vehicle that I could share my love of sports with her, in a way that would hopefully build a bond we’d share forever. Reading together provides a way for parents and their children to share in special moments, but I want these stories to do even more. I want to reach the kids like me, the ones more likely to grab a ball than a book. It is so important for a growing mind to fall in love with reading and I hope these stories can bridge a love for sports with a newfound passion for reading. — Jeff Attinella Show less
