Personal Information: Jay grew up playing soccer on the streets and beaches of Bulgaria. His fondest soccer memory is when Bulgaria reached the World Cup semi-final in 1994.

His passion for teaching soccer in a fun and different way was heavily influenced by the A.C Perugia coaching staff which conducted camps for the club.
