“I have played football for several years, in Germany and in Italy. However, my experience in America in the WSPL was something completely different and and not only for the way Women's football is considered in the States. The merit was also and mainly for Antonio Cincotta, at that time Head Coach of the AC Seattle Team I played for, who was espression of a completely new vision of football: Fun, passion,detail and high results. He coached 21 Italian players, all with a different age and professional profile. Nevertheless he managed to keep motivation high in all of us creating,in less than a week, a team that seemed to play together for ages and that was growing game after game. He was quick in understanding strengths and weaknesses of each player and this allowed him both to perfection the strengths and to turn weaknesses into real opportunities for growth. His different way of coaching (with specific excercises to increase technical skills) impressed me; at the beginning it is a very challenging method, but it helps improving the players' confidence and actual abilities. In my opinion Antonio Cincotta has the right mind set and professional experience to make a difference in the Italian as well as international football.I have played football for several years, in Germany and in Italy.

“Ho avuto occasione di conoscere professionalmente Antonio negli ultimi anni in occasione di alcuni progetti legati al mondo dello sport. Oltre ai titoli accademici che parlano da soli, Antonio colpisce per la sua preparazione nel campo della formazione e il modo in cui riesce a trasmettere i propri concetti ai suoi allievi durante i vari corsi in cui opera come docente del Coni . La sua abilità comunicativa è notevole, e sovente i suoi studenti rimangono piacevolmente colpiti dai suoi metodi di insegnamento. Nel ruolo di allenatore è riuscito a distinguersi soprattutto per la sua competenza nel mondo del calcio. Dedizione e orientamento verso gli obiettivi non gli mancano di certo. Ricordo un'occasione in cui ha dovuto affrontare una situazione di crisi all'interno di una società ed è riuscito a superala tranquillamente e in modo efficace. Per questo mi farebbe piacere lavorare a contatto con lui.”
