Youth and college

Hyndman was born in Macau to a Russian-French mother and a Portuguese father, but after the communist revolution in China his family fled the country in the cargo hold of a ship in 1957. They moved to Springfield, Ohio before settling in Vandalia, Ohio where he attended Butler High School. Following high school, he entered Eastern Illinois University on a soccer scholarship. He was part of the 1969 NAIA national men's soccer championship team as a freshman. He graduated from Eastern Illinois with a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1973.[1]

In the fall of 1973, Hyndman entered Murray State University, graduating with a masters degree in 1975.

In 1981, the team moved up to the NCAA Division I, taking third place in the 1981 Division I tournament.[2] That led to his being selected as the 1981 NSCAA Coach of the Year.[3] He was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001.

In 1984, Southern Methodist University hired Hyndman as head coach of the Mustangs soccer team. Over the next twenty-four seasons, he compiled a 368-96-38 record, earning eight league Coach of the Year honors, five regional Coach of the Year honors.
