Jermaine Jones joins Kate Abdo, Clint Dempsey, Charlie Davies and Mo Edu to talk about the truth behind making the switch from the German National Team to the U.S. Men's National Team, how being born in Germany instead of the United States has affected his legacy and future, his no-holds-barred approach to social media, and the rewards of coaching.

Relationship highs and lows (28:26): Family, divorce, and finding inspiration in opportunity.

Coaching and life parallels (37:56): Managing from personal perspective, past coach take-aways, any overall regrets.
