John Adams grew up just outside of Atlanta GA, where he played for the Atlanta Lightning Soccer Club.  While playing with the Lightning, John won several state cups, and was a member of the Georgia ODP program. 

In the winter of 1994, John went to England where he played and trained with the West Bromwich Albion youth team.  He then went on to play at Millsaps College, where he started as a Freshman. 

Still playing in the GMSA Adult leagues, John has been coaching youth soccer for many years, and enjoys nothing more than teaching kids to love and respect the game!
