My Story.

I’m Antonio Carlini, an Ottawa-born footballer who grew up playing locally before breaking into the professional circuit. I started my journey with Nepean Hotspurs and Ottawa South United before joining Toronto FC’s academy system, where I spent six seasons — including three years playing professionally with Toronto FC II. I’ve also had the honour of representing both the Ontario Provincial Team and Canada’s Youth National Team.

My experiences at the professional level taught me what it truly takes to succeed — the daily habits, mindset, and details that separate good players from great ones. Through Pro Football Factory, I aim to share that knowledge with Ottawa’s next generation of footballers. My coaching style is detailed, energetic, and honest. I focus on helping players master the fundamentals while introducing the tactical and positional awareness needed to thrive at higher levels.

Every session is designed to bring out a player’s full potential — correcting weaknesses, sharpening strengths, and building confidence through purposeful repetition and high-quality training. My goal is simple: to help every player I work with find their next level, whether that’s academy, collegiate, or professional football.
