Luis Meneses
Director
Born and raised in Porto, Portugal. At the age of 21 I decided to move to Birmingham, England (UK) to play College Soccer and to study.
After a period of 6 years living in England, I decided to move to USA, Atlanta, Ga, to continue my career in Coaching, Education and Exercise and Sports Science. Lived in Atlanta since March 2019 and now living in Tampa, FL. Since my move to the US, I have been connecting and working for phenomenal organizations and people that helped me grow professionally and helped me understanding the American culture.
I also had the opportunity to implement and contribute with my experience to different organizations. As a Portuguese and European , soccer was always part of my life since I was 4 years old, and I carried the passion for the game on and outside the field.
