Just like probably every other teen out there, Jack tunes into his iPod when preparing for a game. "I mostly listen to rap being from Atlanta and that's what I'll listen to before a game."
Knowing he's from Atlanta, we just had to make the connection between A-town and Usher and of course the Biebs. We asked Jack is he was familiar with Justin and he said he doesn't really listen to his music, but people have called him "Justin Bieber" before because of the way he used to style his hair! "In some of the stadiums they used to chant that I look like him but I actually just cut all of my hair so I don't think I'll get that anymore."
How funny is that?! We also asked him about what shows he likes to watch on TV, but because Jack's so busy he said he doesn't really have time to watch that much TV or to even go check out a movie. Sometimes you have to be willing to give up things in order to do what you love to do and for Jack it seems to be paying off.
Jack made his professional soccer debut on March 25, 2010 in the opening game of the MLS season against Seattle. In May 2010 he scored his first professional goal in a game between Philly and Los Angeles. So what's his personal advice for those wanting to be like him?
"Work hard no matter what, you'll have your ups and downs but if you fight through it you'll eventually succeed and get to where you want to be."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Jack's main goal is to one day represent the U.S. in the World Cup and by the way it is going now, we are sure that day is going to come.

And just so you know, Jack is of course hoping for a great U.S. soccer team performance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but he also thinks Spain will do well. Have you been watching the World Cup on TV?
