Pro soccer star and entrepreneur Victor Parra has announced the launch of his elite soccer training academy, for kids in the USA. With an impressive career that ranges from playing in California at a top NCAA Division 1 University, to playing professional soccer in the Portuguese 2nd division, Parra is in huge demand. We caught up with him to speak about the inspiration for his new training academy.
The Inspiration For The Business
Victor tells us ‘’For me, my whole life has been soccer. I want to help kids who want to play at a higher level. Looking back at how far soccer has gotten me and how many doors it has opened, it inspired me to help others who want to take the same path’’.
Who is The Soccer Training Open To?
‘’For elite training, it is open to kids from all backgrounds. Any kid who wants to take their game to the next level. We are offering training in all levels from beginner to pro. So for example some kids will just want to get started, they love the game and they wanna get better, I’ll take those kids. Then you have kids who are mid level who may be playing club soccer and want to advance to college and pro level and the training is a lot more intense, but the training will depend on the level of the student’’.
Victor adds ‘’For me, seeing how hard I had it in life, I understand what kids who have it hard are going through and I want to give back and do everything I can to help them push forward. Some kids do not have the same opportunities as others due to a lack of resources etc, I want to help those kids’’.
Inspiring words & we’re sure many kids will benefit from Parra’s new academy.
