In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Victor Garcia, video analyst with LAFC, El Salvador National Team and previously the Associate Head Coach at Cal State Northridge (CSUN).
Victor and I go deep into the mental and tactical side of the game—how elite players watch film, how to prepare for the next level, and what separates those who just play from those who truly understand the game.
We talk about:
- His journey from youth soccer to college and then Pro;
- How mindset, self-awareness, and preparation show up at the top level;
- The secret to prepare a highlight reel for coaches;
Stories from workin with national teams, pro clubs, and college athletes
This one’s for anyone who wants to learn how the game is really played—from the inside out.
This episode is packed with lots of value that you do not want to miss.
