Soccer | Reserve forward Adam Jahn has fit nicely with Crew

The son of two college swim coaches, the 25-year-old dipped his toe into competitive waters as a youth, but didn’t find the sport or its suits appealing.
“I’m a land animal,” Jahn said. “I also didn’t like the Speedos.”
Although the lanky 6-foot-3 striker passed on the opportunity to become the next Michael Phelps, he’s very much the product of two coaching parents. Not blessed with superior technical skill, Jahn’s persistence and work rate have kept him in Major League Soccer for four seasons.
