Bio

Anderson was born in Ft. Worth, TX, but was raised in Valparaiso, IN, a suburb of Chicago. He played from an early age of 3 and it caught fire. Playing in an age group above most of his youth career, at the age of 12 was brought into a “Premier League” (now ECNL RL) team in the United States. Anderson continued playing until he was 19.

About 10 years later, Anderson moved to Austin, TX, in June 2020. He worked on British Soccer Camps, working out of the Texas office for Challenger Sports. This took Anderson to various cities around Texas. That led him to become a Club Trainer for Challenger Sports and travel to coach in states in the Northeast. Anderson left Challenger for FC Westlake in November 2022. He’s been with the Junior Academy program since then, honing his coaching skills.

In his spare time, he continues to play soccer 3-5 days a week. He’s rarely not watching highlights, reels, or matches. He works in Guest Services at Q2 Stadium for Austin FC. Anderson is also a certified USSF referee. Spending time with his friends and family is his best time outside of being on that pitch.
