After graduating from SRU in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in health and physical education, Dichov played semi-professional soccer for the Washington Sports Club from 1975-1982. He also would embark in a career in education and coaching.
He began teaching at the junior high school and middle school level from 1976-1977. While educating, he became a Metropolitan Washington Soccer Referee in 1975 and was later a United States Soccer Federation licensed coach in 1979.
Along with teaching and coaching, Dichov continued his education earning his master's degree in health and physical education from the University of Maryland in 1992.
