Andy McDermott is a retired American soccer midfielder who played professionally in the USL A-League. Throughout and after his playing career, Andy coached at several different levels. He was Head Coach of the Varsity Boys at Broad Ripple High School in Indianapolis. He was Assistant Coach at Northwestern University. At the club level, he coached for the US Development Academy in Los Angeles and the Chicago Sockers. He earned his National B Coaching License from US Soccer.

In 1994, McDermott graduated from William Fremd High School. He played collegiate soccer at Northwestern University from 1994 to 1997, where he was a three year All Big-Ten selection. In 1998, McDermott signed with the Chicago Stingers of the USISL D-3 Pro League. The Stingers won the 1998 league championship. In 1999, the Stingers renamed themselves the Chicago Sockers and moved down to the USL Premier Development League. Chicago again won the league title, as McDermott scored a goal in the 3-1 victory over the Spokane Shadow. In February 2000, McDermott moved up to the Indiana Blast of the USL A-League. In 2002 and 2003, he served as Team Captain of the A-League side the Charlotte Eagles in North Carolina.

Apart from Soccer, McDermott was an actor, model, and fitness personality in Hollywood, California. Prior to that, McDermott served as a Police Officer on the Tactical Response Unit of the Phoenix Police Department in Arizona. While there, he was discovered as an acting talent when the feature film "Everything Must Go" (starring Will Ferrell) was filmed in Phoenix. He generated enough interest to launch his career into Los Angeles, where over 4 years he has appeared in over 30 National film and television productions, 15 commercials, and many print campaigns. The globally-successful video game Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 featured McDermott on the cover and in the game's artwork. As a fitness personality, McDermott has written articles and produced content for many national publications, such as Muscle and Fitness, Men's Fitness, and USA Today.
