Playing experience: A native of England, Jack came to the United States as a teenager, where he attended Hinsdale High School in Hinsdale, Illinois, and played for Oak Brook Soccer Club. After high school, he attended and played soccer for DePauw University, an NCAA Division III school in Greencastle, Indiana. While at Depauw, his team made it to the round of 16 his first year and the round of 32 the following year of the NCAA national tournament. During his third preseason, he suffered a knee injury that would unfortunately end his time as a player. Despite this setback, Jack still wanted to be involved with the sport, so after graduating from DePauw, he returned to Illinois to pursue a coaching career.
