The former Roma defender hit the headlines when approached and offered 200,000 euros to help influence a Coppa Italia match between his club Gubbio and Cesena in November 2011.

But Farina refused, reported the incident to Italian police and his evidence helped lead to the arrest of 17 people the following month.

It led to FIFA president Sepp Blatter naming 30-year-old Farina as a FIFA ambassador for fair play. He was also called up to train with the Italy squad by coach Cesare Prandelli, despite spending most of his career playing in Italy's lower leagues.

INTERPOL, who investigated the match-fixing scandal in Italy, also awarded Farina a commemorative medal for his contribution to crime prevention and law enforcement.

However his playing career has since stalled, with Gubbio unable to offer him a new contract after their relegation and other Italian clubs seemingly reluctant to employ him.

Farina, who has publicly disputed theories that he has been ostracised for breaking the 'omerta' of Italian footballers, said: "I know I did the right thing when I refused to get involved in the fixing of a football game.

"I went to the authorities because this corruption had to be brought to the surface. This level of deception has no place in football or in any walk of life.

"But it is also important to me that I continue to work in football and that I am able to pass on my knowledge because football is an inspirational game.

"A year ago I did not see my life moving in this direction but I am really delighted to be able now to contribute in this way at Villa.

"I wanted to move on with my life. Now I feel that I have real purpose again because of the support and opportunity Villa have given me."

Serie A: Italian whistleblower Farina gets Aston Villa coaching job

The Southeastern Conference could be getting another makeover.

This one would have nothing to do with expansion.

The league that has won six consecutive national championships has more coaches on the proverbial ''hot seat'' than in any recent year, with potential openings at Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee. The Razorbacks are seemingly in disarray, while the Tigers, Wildcats and Volunteers have had all sorts of on-field problems.

With the season a little past the halfway point, talk about possible replacements is more rampant than speculation about the upcoming recruiting class or even basketball season. Well, not at Kentucky.

Still, all that conjecture can make a long season feel like it's never going to end.

''There can be outside distractions whether you're doing great or whether you're doing not as well as you certainly would like to be doing,'' Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. ''The great thing about college football is everybody's got an opinion. It's the greatest sport on the planet, and part of what makes it so great in this part of the country is that everybody does have an opinion.

''When you get into this, if you're not strong enough to handle that, then you're in the wrong business - both as a player and as a coach.''

The way things have unfolded at Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee, it could be gut-check time for all four coaches and their assistants.

The Razorbacks fired coach Bobby Petrino in April for hiring his mistress to a position in the athletic department and initially lying about her presence during a motorcycle accident. Athletic director Jeff Long then hired former Michigan State and Louisville head coach John L. Smith to a 10-month contract.

Arkansas (3-4, 2-2 SEC) went 1-4 in September, including home losses to Louisiana-Monroe and Rutgers. Making matters worse for Smith, he mistakenly referred to Arkansas as Alabama during a speech and told reporters to smile two days after a 52-0 loss to the top-ranked Crimson Tide. Smith also is making headlines for his $40.7 million bankruptcy.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --The Boston Beer Company today announced that its Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program is offering loans to small businesses in the Los Angeles area and will also offer its first speed coaching event for the region's small business community. With a focus on helping small food, beverage, craft brewing and hospitality business owners, Brewing the American Dream provides loans, coaching, mentoring, and educational resources to business owners who find it difficult to access the funds and guidance needed to start, sustain or grow their businesses.

While in the past only a handful of regions had access to the program, the 2012 national expansion of Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream, which was developed in partnership with non-profit micro-lender Accion, recently made available for the first time at least $1 million in new loans to recipients across the country. Additionally, in select cities such as Los Angeles it will also provide access to the initiative's high-impact one-on-one coaching activities, the first of which will be held on October 16 at the Grace E. Simons Lodge.

Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream has already provided close to $1.5 million of micro-financing to more than 150 businesses nationwide, and created or saved nearly 1,000 jobs. Food, beverage, craft brewing and hospitality small business owners can apply for loans ranging from $500 to $25,000 to be used for a variety of business purposes including expansion, equipment, and marketing, with all loan payments recycled back into the fund.

LA Supports Small Business Growth

"Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy," said Mayor Villaraigosa."Our office is proud to support Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream, in partnership with Accion and the VEDC, in their efforts to provide key assistance and networking to ensure the continued growth and success of small businesses."

According to Jim Koch, brewer and founder of Samuel Adams, the goal of the program is to work with the true small businesses in Los Angeles that are often viewed as too risky by traditional banks but who are at the forefront of job creation and growth within their local communities and where relatively modest loans and one-one-one coaching can have a meaningful impact.

"A large part of what differentiates our effort is our focus on offering in-depth expertise and advice in combination with small loans. We understand the challenges because we've been there; I've been there. From being turned down by banks 28 years ago when I was just starting out and desperately needed funding, to figuring out how to distribute my product, I know firsthand what these small business owners are going through, and sincerely believe that Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream can help them overcome many of their obstacles so they can be successful and grow."

Los Angeles' First BTAD Loan Recipients & Speed Coaching Event

As part of the Los Angeles expansion, Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream also announced the region's first loan recipients through VEDC, all of whom are small businesses that were unable to secure financing through traditional lenders. Initial LA recipients include:

The owners of each business will also have the opportunity to participate in the upcoming speed coaching seminar sponsored by Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream. The event is comprised of various Samuel Adams employees (i.e., from sales, graphic design, packaging-commerce , etc.) as well as local area experts who spend 20 minutes in a series of one-on-one sessions addressing specific problems and issues facing the participating small business owners. For example, an entrepreneur who has a question about pricing might meet with a finance expert who'll provide specific ideas and tools to help competitively position the product with potential customers.

The most remarkable thing about Pete Carroll is not that he got a third chance to become an NFL head coach without winning a Super Bowl. The most remarkable thing is hes the third-oldest head coach in the league.

Take one look at Carroll and you dont think 61. Take a second look and you think theres a misprint in his bio.

If one watches the way he bounds around the field like a gazelle on uppers, unflaggingly joyous, he seems like a wild-eyed college coach rather than the stoic, joyless statues normally patrolling NFL sidelines. Although easily lampooned, it is refreshing to watch.

Carrolls approach has always been different. Hes as competitive as anyone in the game but realizes its still a game, not a war. He believes a team belongs to its players. They need direction and correction, but in the end, they have to be responsible for themselves and to each other.

That approach didnt seem to work with either the Jets or the Patriots. He was fired after one season in New York because the Jets did what no Jet can survive: starting fast (6-5) and ending badly (0-5).

He was fired after three mostly successful seasons in New England (27-21, two playoff appearances) because he made the mistake of following a legend, Bill Parcells. As Carroll would learn, it is better to be the man who follows the man who followed The Man than to be next in line behind a folk hero.

Parcells was all about East Coast edges. Carroll had rock music blaring from his office. The contrast was simply too much once the winning stopped.

Certainly the team declined on Carrolls watch. Things trended in the wrong direction not only year by year but season by season, as those teams started off fast (4-0, 4-1, 4-0) but finished slow (6-6, 5-6 and 4-8). Carroll had inherited a Super Bowl team, it was said, and coached it to mediocrity, but that is not totally accurate. Through no fault of his own, he lost Hall of Fame RB Curtis Martin to stubbornness on upper managements part after Carrolls first season. After that, the Patriots were not a Super Bowl team any more. They were a team in decline.

By the final game of his final season, he was starting only three of 27 players drafted by general manager Bobby Grier, a result not only of poor drafting but also selecting players who did not fit Carrolls approach.

One thing a coach must have is talent that fits him, both stylistically and strategically. If he likes tall corners, dont draft Chris Canty (a miniature cornerback the Patriots took No. 1 in 1997 who started only 12 games in four years before moving on to his lifes work).

Carroll's new NFL coaching legacy in Seattle

The football game of impact this week is Oregon at Arizona State on Thursday night. That's for some people. The big game in Dennis Erickson's life will be South Albany at Woodburn.

That's in Oregon, where the former Seahawks coach hangs out a lot these days, helping his son Bryce coach high-school football at South Albany.

"It's been a lot of fun," Erickson said over the phone this week. "When you've been doing it 40-some years, it's kind of hard to turn it off."

So, 25 years after he coached Timm Rosenbach at Washington State; 20 years after he had Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta at Miami; 15 years after his quarterback was Warren Moon with the Seahawks ... and 11 months after he got fired at Arizona State, Erickson is back coaching offense again.

There's not a lot of media around, not a lot of boosters to appease.

"It's the purest part of coaching, to be honest with you," Erickson said. "I've enjoyed it."

While South Albany, a downtrodden program, is fighting through a 2-5 season, the talent Erickson and his staff helped assemble at Arizona State has helped the Sun Devils to a surprising 5-1 record.

After all these years, Erickson, 65, has a thick hide. He's realistic, even charitable, about his dismissal in Tempe. But still, it has to tug at him a little, seeing Todd Graham stress discipline and pull it all together, the year after Erickson seemed so close.

"He's taken that team and done a good job of doing what they do best," Erickson said. "He's done a heck of a job coaching."

Some of us were lulled by ASU's five-game fade at the end of last year and minimized what was on hand there. Erickson knew about defensive tackle Will Sutton, who leads the nation with 8 sacks. He knew about the quarterback, Taylor Kelly, and he knew defensive end Junior Onyeali suspended after a dustup with Erickson late last year could play.

Life lessons are an important objective of the Positive Coaching Alliance. One important life lesson to teach young soccer players is the value of teamwork. The following story is about my U10 girls travel soccer team and their aha moment about teamwork.

Several years ago, my U10 girls team arrived at the field for their first practice of the year. They were a great group of kids. They worked hard and played with effort. But they didn't seem to rely on each other nearly enough. They didn't understand the importance of teamwork.

So I posed a simple challenge to them. I told them to keep a soccer ball off the ground for five straight minutes. And they had to do it like a team.

At first, the players thought it was an impossible task. They tried juggling the ball, but they were not skilled enough to juggle for that long. The ball randomly bounced around and eventually hit the ground. But they kept trying.

A few practices later, the players changed their strategy. This time, they selected the best three jugglers and let them try to keep the ball in the air while the others watched. This was a slight improvement, but the ball still found the ground. The players were frustrated. They said that only professionals could complete this challenge. Then I reminded them about teamwork.

Soccer is a team sport. Every player on the field is important. That's why teams are at such a disadvantage when a player is sent off. It takes an entire team (including substitutes) to win a game. This was the lesson I was teaching my players.

Midway through our fall season, the players had a breakthrough. At the start of practice, the players said, "Coach, we got it!" Without hesitation, the players formed a circle facing inwards and locked arms. They placed the ball in the center. One player flicked the ball up. Then all the players got very close together and raised their knees. The ball landed on their knees and remained off the ground for five minutes. The players stood their leaning on each other, huddled together. It was an amazing sight.

The players took a seemingly impossible task and made it easy with teamwork. These girls went on to become one of the most tight-knit teams in the league. They supported each other in great victories and tough losses. Although they will soon be off to college now, the girls have talked about organizing future reunion soccer events. And they're doing this without me, their coach. They're doing it as a team.

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- SUNY Cortland Junior John Stephens is dedicated on the field and in school.

He loves the school, its a great program, being on the football team, great coaching, great staff, he has it great up here, he loves it," said John's father, Paul Stephens.

But it was a choice the Goshen-native made two years ago that many say truly defines him.

John was ready to donate and at the time he could have lost some potential time on the field, but he was willing to do that," says Paul Stephens.

Stephens and his parents participated in the football teams Get in the Game, Save a Life National Marrow Donor Program Drive during a recruiting visit at Cortland in 2010.

A swab of his mouth to obtain cheek cells proved that he was a perfect match for a newborn girl with leukemia.

Brent Kuemmerle was dealt a bad break in life, losing the lower half of his right leg in a car accident.

Instead of fretting about what he couldn't do because of his disability, he was determined to show what he could do despite that disability.

It's now his desire to coach others those who has that same competitive determination.

Kuemmerle, who was an avid rock climber before his accident in 1995, taught himself to become a better climber with his prosthetic leg. He learned to become a snowboarder when there were basically no opportunities to compete in the sport as a disabled athlete.

Based in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., Kuemmerle, a former Rapid City resident, has just created a non-profit organization called Tahoe Adaptive Competition Center.

His mission statement is simple: Train any athlete who wants to compete at any form.

If you want to compete in local competitions, we can do that. If you want to compete in regional competitions, we can do that. If you want to make the U.S. Paralympics team and go to Russia, we can do that, Kuemmerle said.

Kuemmerle is coaching snowboarding, a sport where competitive coaches were few and far between just after his accident. In fact, when he first started snowboarding unlike skiing -- the sport wasn't in the Paralympics Games and it was hardly offered as a recreational lesson.

He spent essentially the last 10 years helping create an educational record and the national standards so there is a complete teaching progression available. The 2014 Paralympics Games in Russia will host the sport for the first time.

The goal of most disabled sports organizations, Kuemmerle said, is to allow people with physical challenges to be able to compete or at least participate in sports that they either used to compete in or are interested in. He said that snowboarding is just another avenue for people to slide down the hill.
