Mauricio Ingrassia (@MIsoccer) was born in Argentina. When he moved to the United States as a young boy he had just a few English words in his vocabulary. Language barriers didn’t stop him from playing the game he had become familiar with in his hometown of Rosario. But little did he know that he would someday become one of the most recognized coaches in the Southern California soccer scene.

Mauricio is currently the head coach of the women’s program at Long Beach State. In addition, he also serves as Director of Coaching for Beach Futbol Club.

In this episode, we discuss his instant immersion to a foreign culture as a kid, his vision for his club and college teams, and his time spent La Masia in Barcelona.
