Celebrated Soccerroo and Aussie soccer living legend Tim Cahill has a lot to say about how the country is treating its young aspiring athletes. Growing up in a town where soccer instructors didn't have faith in him, Cahill wishes to give broader chances to kids who want to be professional soccer players. The Australian soccer player is set to coach hundreds of kids in a program he has started.

Cahill expresses his dismay on how some of the influential coaches are putting down young athletes who want to get a head start in the sport. Cahill's coaching program will start next week, kicking off at the Olympic Park where hundreds of kids are set to arrive. Cahill will then travel around the country to visit minor league coaches and instruct them on the ins and outs of professional soccer coaching. According to Cahill, this kind of mentorship is "much needed" to improve the roots of all future Australian soccer players.

"I found it very hard at first as a footballer growing up in Australia to get my opportunity", says Cahill in a report released by the Herald Sun. The superstar says experience is the best teacher and that he strongly believes on giving kids a chance to show what they are about. "Learning about kids in Australia and kids all over the world all they want is a chance. (They need) People to listen and show they care", adds Cahilll in the same interview.

Cahill is a world-class athlete who scored the first Australian goal in the World Cup in 2006 match against Japan. He currently has 3 World Cup goals, holding a national record. Cahill scored twice in a 4-0 winning match against Japan in the 2011 Asian Cup.
