having played and coached at every 

level of the game, Scott dean, director 

of the iMg Soccer academy, utilizes his 

background and experience to help the 

program’s players achieve their goals. 

bUIlDInG 

talent 

It’s the early 1990s in Connecticut and Scott 

Dean has a full schedule, balancing playing for a 

semi-pro soccer team with owning/operating two 

businesses. 

When a local high school asked him to coach 

the soccer team, he agreed more out of his love for 

the game than a predetermined plan to become a 

soccer coach. but a funny thing happened when he 

showed up to run his first practice. 

“I knew as soon as I stepped on the field I 

would have a career change,” he remembers. 

now, more than 20 years later, Dean is still 

coaching soccer, now in the role of Director of 

the IMG Soccer academy. However, if not for the 

discerning eye of an elementary school teacher, he 

may never have even started playing the sport. 

GeTTING STArTed 

Growing up in a small Connecticut town near 

the University of Connecticut, Dean often watched 

the powerhouse Huskie men’s teams. His town, 

though, had no youth soccer programs. one day 

while kicking a ball around at recess, Dean caught 

the attention of a teacher, who saw natural skill 

in raw form. Without many other options, Dean’s 

father, a former semi-pro baseball player with no

Dean 

IMG SoCCeR 

aCaDeMY DIReCtoR 

soccer playing experience but an admirer of the 

game, decided to start a club. 

Dean immediately took to the sport and quickly 

progressed through the ranks, eventually choosing 

Green Mountain College over Clemson for the 

school’s business program and availability to play 

immediately. Dean excelled at Green Mountain, 

finishing his career among the top 10 scoring leaders 

in school history and later earning a spot in the 

Green Mountain athletics Hall of fame. 

With no MlS or a-league in existence at that 

time, Dean played semi-pro soccer for eight years 

(“If you won, you got paid. If you lost, sometimes 

you didn’t get paid”), while also launching a yacht 

management business and a soccer/surf shop. 

However, his first shot at coaching forever 

changed his life’s course. 

GoING BAcK To coLLeGe 

after successfully coaching various local high 

school and olympic Development Program teams 

in new Jersey, Dean sold his yacht management 

business, liquidated his soccer/surf shop and took 

a job as an assistant coach at the University of 

Rhode Island. He helped the Rams to a top-five 

national ranking before taking on the role of head 

coach at Stony brook University. 

Despite being in its final stages of converting to 

a D-I athletic school, Stony brook at the time had 

one of the worst men’s soccer programs in the nation. 

“It was from one extreme to the other,” Dean 

said of the switch from Rhode Island to Stony 

brook. “It was a huge awakening.” 

Within four years, Dean took the team from 

one win to a top-25 national ranking – the first of its 

kind for any sport in the school’s history. 

looking to cut down on travel, Dean and his 

wife eventually went to texas, where Dean oversaw 

the Development academy team for the texas Rush 

before coming to the IMG Soccer academy. 

deveLopING The NexT GeNerATIoN 

Dean’s goal for the IMG Soccer academy is 

simple – help student-athletes reach their full 

potential. 

“It’s all about player development,” he said. “If 

we develop quality players, team success will be 

a by-product. that said, individual development is 

critical, but no one player ever comes before the 

team.” 

Dean and his staff work with each player on 

an individual basis to not only create a plan for 

improvement, but determine the best direction 

after graduating from IMG academies, whether 

it’s the professional route, D-I college or smaller 

school. add in the strong relationship with the U.S. 

Soccer U-17 Residency team, which trains on the 

IMG academies’ campus, and IMG Soccer academy 

Getting to know Scott Dean… 

Favorite player: 

I’ll give a few. George best, franz beckenbauer 

and lionel Messi. that’s a good mix 

of old and new. 

Favorite club: 

I really enjoy watching the style of arsenal 

and barcelona. 

Hobbies: 

I like to golf. My low round is about 82. and 

relaxing at the beach. 

Most memorable attended sporting event: 

the ’94 World Cup final. We were 30 rows 

up and in the same row as Pele. We were 

on the same side as the penalty kicks 

when baggio airmailed it. 

If I wasn’t a soccer coach: 

I’d be coaching basketball or be an entrepreneur. 

Best player he’s coached: 

andy Williams (Real Salt lake). He played 

for Jamaica in the ’98 World Cup and is in 

his 15th year in MlS. He is the most technically 

gifted player I’ve ever coached. 

players have the opportunity to fulfill any of their 

dreams. Some will even follow in the footsteps of 

many before them by representing their country on 

the world’s stage. 

“they have to have the desire to put in the 

hours to become a better player. they have to be 

dedicated. Ultimately, though, we want as many 

of our student-athletes as possible wearing their 

country’s colors.”

for as long as he can remember, Gabriel 

nunez has dreamed of representing his home 

country of el Salvador on the international soccer 

stage. 

Dominating local youth competition, nunez convinced 

his parents that for him to reach his full 

potential, he needed to leave the country. at 14 

years old and without knowing anyone on campus, 

nunez enrolled at the IMG Soccer academy. 

four years later, nunez captains the IMG Soccer 

academy U-18 team and holds a spot in the el 

Salvador U-20 national team player pool. 

“I didn’t really mind leaving,” nunez remembers. 

“the biggest change was soccer-wise. I was 

always the best player on my teams in el Salvador. 

at IMG, there are a lot of talented people and 

I didn’t play much at first, but I stayed with it. I 

know I’m on the right path.” 

Having played for the el Salvador U-17 team, 

nunez was told to keep developing his game at 

the IMG Soccer academy. He would send daily 

updates to his nation’s soccer governing body 

about how he was improving. His diligence paid 

off in the form of a call-up to the el Salvador 

U-20 training camp. 

“It’s a huge honor to wear your nation’s jersey,” 

he said. “It’s amazing.” 

after his playing days are over, nunez wants to 

bring a version of IMG academies to his home 

country. 

“I’ve had an amazing opportunity to reach my 

dreams,” he said. “I want to give others the same 

opportunity.”

for the past six years, Shannon Morrish has 

balanced a full academic load with a daunting 

athletic schedule, pushed herself through long 

practices and endured Performance training sessions 

for one reason. 

In fall 2012, Morrish will enroll at Vanderbilt 

University – one of the nation’s premier academic 

institutions – as a scholarship student-athlete. 

“(the scholarship) just made it seem like everything 

I’ve worked for is coming true,” said Morrish, 

an IMG Soccer academy senior goalkeeper. 

Morrish, though, is far from just an athlete. She 

has already been to 49 of the 50 states (Hawaii’s 

still missing), seen lenin’s tomb in Russia (her 

dad is a history buff) and wants to travel to thailand 

next. She’s also shadowed plastic surgeons 

and oncologists for various procedures to gain 

experience for her planned future as a nurse 

anesthetist. 

“that stuff doesn’t gross me out at all,” she said. 

“I love science.” 

Carrying a 3.8 GPa, Morrish has kept school at 

the top of her priority list. 

“I’ve always thought that you need solid academics 

to succeed in whatever you want to do.

Blair Gavin 

IMG Class of 2004 

alUmni 

once blair gavin was introduced 

to the game of soccer at an early 

age, there was one thing he knew: 

he wanted to keep playing soccer. 

to this day, that is precisely what 

he is doing. 


CoRneR 

Blair Gavin 

Chivas USA 2011 

BlaiR 

GaVin 

CHIVaS USa 

blair played soccer with Sereno, at the time, 

the no. 1 nationally-ranked team winning which 

won back-to-back-to-back-to-back arizona state 

cups. He is also an alumni of the IMG Soccer 

academy where he has his number ‘5’ jersey 

retired, and has played for the University of akron 

Zips, leading the team to runner-up in the 2009 

national Championship. 

now, Gavin is showing his skill with MlS 

club Chivas USa after being drafted no. 10 

overall in the 2010 SuperDraft. IMG academies 

recently spoke with Gavin to catch up with one of 

the IMG Soccer academy’s most distinguished 

alums. 

...IMG Academies helping your soccer development: 

It helped me mature as an athlete. While at IMG 

I was living away from my parents, and kind of getting 

the whole college feel. on top of that, it is a professional 

environment where they have plenty of equipment, 

everything is set up for you, and all of the fields 

are just perfect. the whole facility just sets you up 

for success. the coaches they have are great and you 

can go out and stay as long as you please, until it gets 

dark if you really want to. 

...getting the ball rolling: 

When I was younger, my parents enrolled 

me in soccer. I instantly fell in love with the 

sport, and after that it was history. It has 

always been the sport that I wanted to take to 

the next level. I played a little bit of baseball 

and basketball growing up, but that stuff was 

just for fun and was an activity, whereas soccer 

was serious. 

...the rookie season: 

I started off really well. I played in 15 or 16 games, but that kind of 

got thrown off course by a hamstring injury. It was unfortunate, but 

injuries do happen. It was tough, because you always want to be out 

there, especially when you are playing well, but it was a tough lesson 

that I took a lot from. I took some of the things that I learned from 

that injury and applied it to this season. 

...biggest difference between college and MLS: 

In the MlS, you have to have an idea of what 

you are going to do with the ball before you 

get it. In college, you may get the ball and 

make something up on the spot, but in the 

pros you have to have 2 or 3 options and 

then know what you are going to do if one 

of your options closes. It is just a lot more 

thinking, being smart, body positioning, 

figuring out how to play an opponent 

differently if he is faster than you. It is still 

all about details, and they count the most. 

I always had the goal to play college soccer. When 

I played with the Sereno soccer club, I got plenty of 

exposure, and when I came to IMG I began to realize 

what colleges I would be able to go to. akron took a 

look at me and some other guys when I was at IMG 

academies, and I guess they liked what they saw. 

once our soccer program at akron started to do really 

well it started to get pretty serious. 

Blair 

Gavin 

on... 

...continuing to move up to the next level: 

...best moment thus far: 

My debut in MlS for Chivas USa 

against the l.a. Galaxy. obviously, 

you always dream about becoming 

a pro , but until you actually play in 

your first game where the lights are 

on you, and you see all the people 

sitting and watching you play you 

don’t realize it. You are kind of in 

awe. to this day, that is one of my 

favorite memories that I will always 

take with me. 

...a message to IMG Soccer Academy students: 

take advantage of the resources you have available. You 

have some of the best coaches in the country that are 

always willing to help you. they have been at the highest 

level to learn from the best. You have everything you need, 

so if your dream is to make it professionally, go for it, you 

have the chance to work at it every day, so you might as 

well soak it in and become the best that you can.
