Coach:Jason Jentzsch

Current Team: Northern United Boys U15 Premier team and Park City Extreme's Boys U9 and U14 D3 team.

Coaching Experience: I started coaching on a regular basis this past April, but I have been coaching off and on for a number of years doing camps, recreation, and competitive teams. I also hold the NSCAA National Diploma and just received my US Soccer National Youth License (NYL) in August.

Playing Experience: I started playing at a young age with various recreation programs, and then started playing competition soccer when I was older, with the Gators, Pinnacle, and then Alta High School. I currently play in the Men's Premier League for Lazio, but have played for Cosmo's, Northern United, and International.

Favorite Soccer Teams: I don't really have a favorite team, but if I had to pick, I would choose Arsenal FC and AC Milan.

Favorite Soccer Players: Again, I don't really have one favorite player, but if I had to pick, I would choose Totti and Henry - both amazing players.

Most Memorable Soccer Experiences: Every chance I have to play soccer is a great experience!

Coaching Philosophy: "Win and lose as a team with your heads-up."

Favorite Movie: American Beauty, Crash, and Magnolia

Favorite Book: In The Spirit of Crazy Horse

Favorite Food: Spaghetti and Sea Food Alfredo

Special Interests: Coaching and playing soccer; being with family and friends; playing Xbox 360 FIFA '06 and FIFA Road to the World Cup '06!

Jason Says: "Everybody wants to win, but not everyone can lose with a smile."
