Back in November, Tyler Hernandez ’18 was riding in his parents’ car, surrounded by his family, when he got the call he’d been hoping for. It was his birthday, and they had just finished a celebratory dinner at his favorite restaurant.His phone rang and he saw that it was Mike Hayes, head coach of the U.S. Power Soccer Association’s Team USA, which will compete in the FIPFA World Cup later this year.
“I figured a Facebook post wouldn’t be enough to wish you a happy birthday,” Hayes said, and they talked about how Hernandez was faring with his home team, the Tampa Thunder.
Hernandez appreciated the call and was pleased that Hayes remembered his birthday, but as their conversation came to a close, Hayes asked a question that would change the trajectory of his life and, as he puts it, complete a dream.
“Before I let you go, I wanted to ask you how would you like to play for Team USA?” said Hayes.
