OUR FOUNDERS

 
GUSTAVO PEREZ SOLANO
 
1
After retiring from his career as a professional soccer player in his home country of Argentina, Gustavo dedicated his life to transforming aspiring athletes into top-performing players. With more than 25 years of experience in developing and training both young and seasoned soccer players, Gustavo is an authority on what makes an exceptional player. He also scouts for renowned teams, such as Manchester United (England), Atlanta United (USA), Kansas City FC (USA), and Chelsea FC (England).
 
Gustavo has seen his trainees rise to the Premier League, MLS, Calcio, La Liga, Bundesliga, and other leagues worldwide. His star-studded roster includes Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea), Julian Alvarez (Manchester City), Gonzalo Montiel (Sevilla), and countless others.
 
Now, Gustavo lives in Los Angeles, CA, and is deeply invested in identifying talent in American Youth players. He founded ISD because he believes that young athletes must be challenged, motivated, and taught the necessary physical, technical, and tactical tools for reaching their maximum potential on the pitch.
