Total Player 2021 by Predrag Mihailovic

December 19, 2021

Predrag Mihailovic was, until last month, the Head Coach of the Australian Women’s national team. Having had a modest 15-year playing career, the Serb retired in 2005 before taking on coaching stints in his home country, Serbia, and Turkey, before arriving in Australia. 

Whilst down under, the 47-year-old took control of some of Australia’s biggest clubs, Cronulla Sharks & the NSWIS, before joining the women’s high performance programme and the national team as assistant coach in 2013. 

In 2018, Mihailovic was promoted from assistant coach to head coach, and the results came instantly with Australia securing a Bronze medal at Gwangju 2019. He led Australia to a 5th place finish in Tokyo. 

He coached his daughter, Lena, on many occasions for Australia (including the Olympics), while his son has represented Serbia at youth level.

“I would like to exclude my players from my picks sinc e I can’t be objective” stated Mihailovic fro Total Waterpolo.

True leader and amazing player in every crucial moment.

2. Maica Garcia Godoy (ESP)

Spanish National Player | Club: CN Sabadell | Position: Center Forward

Premium center forward! She is very dangerous for the post in the power play situations and she can even cover center back position if needed.
TPA21-Female-Player-Avatars-Johnson

3. Ashleigh Johnson (USA)

US National Player | Club: Ethnikos | Position: Goalkeeper

Team USA has a lot of faith in her ability, and she lives up to their expectations. Definitely the most consistent goalkeeper in the last few years.

Fantastic Olympic tournament for Rebecca! She was the pilar of the Hungarian offense.

5. Simone van der Kraast (NED)

Dutch National Player | Clubs: Polar bears / CN Mataro | Position: Right Driver

Young left hander with an amazing shot conversion. She is also very agile and covers a lot of space in the defense.
