Greg James Macgregor was born in Scotland but brought up in London, England. Playing soccer his whole life, he played his first district level competition at the age of 9 with players three years older than himself. At the age of 13 he started to train with Tottenham Hotspurs Soccer Club of the English Premiership, going through their youth system playing in their youth teams. He left Tottenham at the age of 16, deciding to sign professionally with Barnet Soccer Club, where he made his debut in the English League three weeks after his 17th birthday. In his first full professional season he played in 21 matches and scored 7 goals. The following season saw him become a regular starting player and he also made his debut in the F.A. Cup competition. After only a month of his second professional season, Macgregor sustained a serious leg injury and his future as a professional player was in doubt. After a 12-month recuperation, he decided to attend the University of Wales to begin a BA in Sport, Health and Physical Education.  Upon completion of this degree he obtained a Masters in Sport Psychology and Motor Control. His second year of university saw him return to soccer, representing his university in national competition. Scoring 12 goals in his first season and 18 in his second, he was chosen for the Welsh Universities representative team, touring both Ireland and the Netherlands. He was then offered a contract with Bangor City to play in the National League of Wales. However, having never fully recovered from his original injury, the demands of the professional game became too much. This led Macgregor to retire from soccer at the age of 23. With a year of his Masters degree to go, Macgregor became a qualified coach and took up a position as Assistant Coach with his University team. Realizing that his qualifications and experience were leading him in this direction, he also earned money while still a student by setting up his own soccer school for children. Upon leaving the UK, Macgregor spent two years teaching in Poland before coming to Canada in 1995. He began working at Concordia University soon after in the Department of Continuing Education, where he still works today. He returned to the game of soccer only when his daughter started to show an interest in the game. This led him to volunteer as a coach with Westmount Recreation, which he did from 2002 to 2006.  He was also Head Coach of the Westmount Highlanders/Lachine A women’s team from 2002 to 2007, during which time he took the team from house league to Metro League Division 1. Now a Canadian citizen, his expertise and experience as a high level player, his coaching qualifications, his experience as a coach of boys and girls of all ages, his academic qualifications and his teaching experience make his Soccer School one of a kind.
