Dylan Martinez Meggerson's journey in soccer began at just three years old, watching intently from the sidelines as his older brother played. Rather than running around the playground like other toddlers, he was studying the game that would become his life's passion.

That early dedication bloomed into nearly two decades of playing experience, but it was a pivotal moment at age 14 that shaped his true calling. When his father needed to step away from coaching his younger brother's soccer team, Dylan stepped in—creating practice plans, drafting the team, and discovering his gift for leadership from the sidelines.

Now, as a certified coach through the US Soccer Learning Center, he has worked with over 3,000 athletes ranging from age 2 to 62, but his approach goes beyond technical training.

Having experienced firsthand the profound impact a coach can have on a player's journey, Dylan commits to understanding each athlete not just as a player, but as a person, creating an environment where they can thrive both on and off the field.

His deep appreciation for soccer and community was cultivated by his close-knit family—parents Douglas and Nicole, and brothers Doug and Dominic—who supported his passion through countless hours of practice, long drives to games, and international travels to experience the sport in its many cultural contexts.

Through his work at D2 Sports, Dylan channels that same dedication into building a positive, growth-oriented environment where players of all levels can discover their own love for the beautiful game. His approach combines his extensive playing and coaching experience with his family's legacy of commitment, creating a coaching style that emphasizes both athletic excellence and personal development.

Off the field, Dylan’s greatest love is music. With a father who was a DJ in his younger days, he grew up listening to beats from multiple generations at full volume. Music is a constant in his life, and you can count on him moving to the rhythm whenever there’s a tune playing. Additionally, Dylan prioritizes mindfulness through daily meditation and practicing gratitude.
