For Cristian Garcia, soccer has been about much more than the game itself. Through his experiences on and off the field, soccer has taught him valuable lessons about life that extend beyond the sport.

​

What Cristian loves most about coaching with Houston Surf is the community. He sees the staff, players, friends, and families as one big community, brought together by their shared connection to the game. Being part of that environment gives him the opportunity to share his love for soccer and the lessons it has taught him with the next generation of players.
