Tekkers Head Soccer Trainer
Hayden White
Our Soccer Trainer, Hayden is extremely passionate about training and loves working with young players. For him, soccer comes from both mental and physical strength, and that's exactly how he approaches his training.
Hayden is currently a professional soccer player on Indy Eleven. He is from the UK and has been in love with soccer for as long as he can remember.
He started his professional career in 2013 with Sheffield Wednesday, just the league below the English Premier League. Ever since the, he has played for 12 different clubs across the UK, gaining valuable experience in Championship, League One, and League Two. Over the years, Hayden has made over 261 professional appearances. His lucky number is 33, which is the number he proudly wears at Indy Eleven.
Off the pitch, he is a father of two and a huge Manchester United fan and enjoys family time and watching the matches whenever he can. He enjoys most sports; however, don't hand him a golf club! I think he has accepted that coaching golf isn't for him, but soccer certainly is!
One of Hayden's proudest and most defining moments of his career was coming back from a serious leg break that kept him out of the game for over a year. The recovery process taught him so much on the mental side of soccer. Soccer to him isn't always butterflies and goals; there are setbacks, hard days, and tough lessons. But if you are willing to work hard, the results will come.
