Rush Changes Lives: Fernando Caballero

October 29, 2024

Fernando Caballero, son of a truck driver and a housewife, played for California Rush despite living in a remote area with a lengthy two-hour commute to training.


Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, his parents were unable to afford for Fernando to continue playing soccer. However, despite these challenges, Fernando has managed to excel both on the field and in the classroom.


He is set to graduate in 2024 and has already received multiple scholarships offers from Division I and Division II schools. Through his hard work and dedication, Fernando has proven that perseverance and talent can overcome even the most challenging of circumstances.
