From IDA Valencia to making his mark in NCAA Division I ๐Ÿ‘

Gavin Dick has five goals, five assists and 12 starts in his first 14 games at East Tennessee State University, including both goals in Saturdayโ€™s 2โ€“0 win over Liberty.

Looking back, he sees the connection between his time in Spain and the demands of college soccer:

โ€œBeing in full-time training improved me as a player a lot, but it also allowed me to easily adapt to what is a really busy schedule in college soccer.โ€

The daily training, individual coaching and experience of an international dressing room in Valencia are now helping him settle in and contribute at ETSU, where heโ€™s also studying Business Management.

Proud to see you taking everything you learned into this next chapter, Gavin!

Today is National Coaches Day in the USA, and weโ€™re taking the opportunity to thank our coaches across IDA. โšฝ

Moving abroad to pursue football comes with plenty of challenges. Having coaches who understand your goals, push you to improve and support you as you settle in makes a real difference.

Thank you for the time, care and belief you invest in our players every day.

A proud moment for IDA ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ทโšฝ

Former IDA Valencia player Jeremy de Leรณn scored the winner for Puerto Rico in Sundayโ€™s 1โ€“0 victory over the Cayman Islands in the Concacaf Nations League!

Jeremy joined IDA Valencia in 2020, moving from Puerto Rico to study and train full-time in Spain. His next steps took him to CD Castellรณn and Real Madrid Castilla.

Weโ€™re proud to have supported his development at IDA and to see him making a difference for his country.

Vamos, Jeremy!

After two days of learning, discussion and work on the field, the Coaching Education Program concluded with each participating coach receiving their certificate.

More than a course, it was an opportunity to connect with the people helping shape the next generation of football in Haiti.

To every coach who joined us: thank you for your energy, your openness and everything you brought to the experience.
