Hey Soccer Superstars! I’m Coach Fernando! I’ve always loved soccer and have continued to play since I was four years old. My favorite professional soccer team is Barcelona, but I love watching the the Eagles and 76ers as well. A little bit about me outside of soccer – I love cool cars and recently really got into Formula 1. I enjoy building legos and learning about dinosaurs.
