Marc Cappuccitti-Gutierrez

Athlete Bio

Marc has played competitive elite level soccer since age 7. In December 2017, out of sheer curiosity, and with a deep love for the sport of football, he decided he wanted to try kicking and punting, recreationally at a local high school field. It went well. Now, four years late, Marc has completed his first three seasons of tackle football, and is intent on pursuing his kicking and punting career to the fullest extent possible. Despite a long 20 months between season 2 and season 3 for Marc due to COVID shutdowns in Ontario, his return to action in the 2021 fall season could not have gone better. The work put in during that down time paid off.

Marc is a high academic achiever and is serious about making sure his academics are as fully developed as his kicking is. Winter provides a very non-traditional opportunity for physical conditioning, as Marc is a competitive downhill alpine ski racer, competing in the Southern Ontario Division at Osler Bluff Ski Club in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. Playing football in Canada will explain the 110-yard-long and 65-yard-wide field, with goalposts situated at the front of a 20-yards-deep end zone (to avoid any confusion while watching the highlight clips).
