Pedro Hernandez

Hello Parents and Players.
My name is Pedro Hernandez. I’m 23 years old and I played professionally for LA FORCE in 2023 and now in Club de Lyon (Orlando) (Both NISA teams 3rd Division)
I have also played professionally at Atletico Bucaramanga (First Division Team in Colombia).
I am originally from Spain, but I moved to Tampa, Florida when I was 15. I was in California last year and now in Michigan.
I have been training players for the past 2 years. High School, College and semi professional players.
They were players between 17 and 20 years old. Both genders.
I have been playing football since I was 1 and I’ve been playing since then. For the past year, professionally.
I do individual and group sessions from any age (12-21).
My training sessions can go all the way from the basic and fun stuff to all the way to the professional exercises, where I’ll teach and give advices to understand the game in a better way.

I started playing indoor soccer at an academy when I was 5. There I learned and developed my soccer skills. When I was 12 they scouted me and tried to take me to a higher level indoor soccer. I moved to full size soccer and started my developing process at a club in Madrid. After some time at the club I moved to the States when I was 15. I played in high school for the next 3 years. I did so well during the seasons that at the end of my high school career I got selected to go to a D1 university. I couldn’t get accepted due to some unlucky problems that came up.
But I never gave up, and decided to start my professional soccer career. After some time thanks to a friend, the president from Atletico Bucaramanga (first division team in Colombia) invited me to trials with the club to see if I could make it to the first team.
I made it through the tryouts and started training with the first team. This was really important for me because it formed me as a better player.
Later on I things turned down and I wouldn’t get the chance to open a contract with the team, so I left back home (Tampa) looking for better opportunities.
Finally I got the opportunity to tryout for LA FORCE (professional NISA TEAM) where they signed me in 2023. I was there until July. In the middle of the season I had the opportunity to go to Spain to play in 5th division. Where the level is super high and has made me a better player. Now I’m back in the U.S. just signed for the professional team in NISA, Club de Lyon.

Depending on the objectives from parents and players I would make an specific session for the player.
If the player is a kid that has never played soccer and wants to learn the game, I’ll make a session that helps the kid to start learning the game from the basic stuff (learning on how to move the body, how to treat the ball, etc etc). Most important thing to make the kid to have fun, that’s the only way to make them passionate about the game.
If the player already knows or has an idea about the game I’ll also make a particular session to start improving these skills.
It is important to understand that soccer is a sport that requires time, consistency and patience to learn. Multiple sessions are essential to get better at the sport.
I do have the stuff that is needed to have a good training session.
With my experience as a professional and all my experience as a soccer player your son or daughter will receive advices and tips directly from someone that understands the game and still practices it.
