Gianluca Megerdichian

Laguna Beach,CA

Summary

With a robust background as a Youth Soccer Coach at Pro Touch Soccer and experience as a USSF Soccer Referee, I excel in player development and sports psychology. Demonstrating strong leadership and a high Soccer IQ, I've significantly contributed to the growth and success of young athletes, fostering a deep love for the game. I have a passion for tactical analysis and have great skills to improve peoples technical abilities. I also am a die hard Inter fan. I bleed black and blue, ever since I was born I was a Interista. This team is more than a team to me. I have been to the Giuseppe Meazza many times and traveled around Italy with the team. I also have met Simone Inzaghi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Stefan De Vrij and Kristjan Asllani. I love Inter, soccer, coaching kids, and fostering a great learning environment for them not only just on the field but off the field as well and Im ready to bring that strength to this academy.
