Trained at the
Highest Level

Aidan McGuire is a current NJCAA Division I midfielder at Northern Idaho College -- a program just ranked #9 nationally in the Coaches' Choice Top 20 rankings. His playing career spans over a decade of elite-level competition, from Washington State youth academies to professional-pathway programs in the United Kingdom.

After spending the 2024-25 season competing for the International Development Academy's U23 side in Reading, England -- playing three full age levels above his own -- Aidan returned stateside and immediately stepped into Division I collegiate soccer.

Off the pitch, he carries a 3.76 GPA studying Psychology with a Kinesiology minor, giving him a science-backed understanding of athlete development, performance psychology, and movement fundamentals that few trainers at his age can match.
