Unlocking soccer success from grassroots to elite. Expert insights and stories.
In this episode of Hometown FC, I sit down with coach and player development specialist Christian Hernandez to pull back the curtain on one of youth soccer’s biggest problems: the lack of real teaching.
We dive deep into:
- The toxic culture of club soccer and the obsession with winning
- Why most players don’t understand their position beyond a title
- The gap between technical training and real application
- What it means to be a “teacher-coach” in today’s game
- How we can build smarter, more adaptable players from the ground up
