As the new head coach of the Dynamo, Wilmer Cabrera will be tasked with the challenge of guiding a struggling franchise back to the top of the league.
If his performance is anything like the time he saved himself from near certain death, the Dynamo might enjoy a deep playoff run sooner than later.
A self-proclaimed risk taker, Cabrera had a unique career tugging at his heart toward the end of his playing career. He wanted to be a helicopter pilot.
In 2004, he went to New York to get his pilot license. His training went well until it came time for his first solo flight, which is required before a license can be issued.
