A biography for Jesse Marschhasn’t been written yet.
“All I can say is the only way I know how to do things is to go all in and give everything I have, to believe in who I am, to believe in the people I work with and to try to maximise what we are. I find if you do that you can be incredibly surprised by the human spirit and what you can achieve. That sounds like Ted Lasso!”
“A big term we always use is counter-press and how we arrange ourselves and what we do when we move the ball. So, in all moments, we try to have strategies and create clarity as to what individual roles are and how they impact each other, and then how that fits within match plans and what opponents are presenting.”
“If I were to be critical of the sport in our country in general, I think we have failed ourselves miserably because everyone is the smartest guy in the room and everyone is the biggest critic, inside the game and out. And that will never be successful.”
“I like my teams to play with speed and aggression, and a great deal of credit for that is down to Ralf.”
“If there is ever a possibility to return to Leipzig, then that would be a great idea for me.”
“I actually took French in school, can speak a bit and I understand the accent and understand the foundation of the language and verb conjugation.”
“The way that I like to play the game requires all 11 players to be involved in every phase of the match.”
“I've followed living legends everywhere I've been.”
“Everyone can have their own opinion but I just want to work with people that want to be aggressive, confident and go after things the way that I do.”
“Where I'm from, Milwaukee in Wisconsin, reminds me a little bit of Leeds.”
“I love football, training, tactics, all of it. But people and relationships is what really makes me tick.”
“Even coming here, maybe you could say, 'OK, you come to Leeds United, you're following a great manager, you're in a relegation fight, you're thrown in the deep end,' but OK, let's go. I don't really look at it as being fearful or having things to be afraid of.”
“That's a big part of leadership is inspiration but also understanding solutions and how to drive communication home.”
“The results are always going to be the results. But what is the mentality of the team in the toughest moments? Do we have each other's back? That's what matters the most.”
“People hate hearing the word soccer.”
“So much of what I do every day is not just preparing the team to be successful as a group, but also grooming each individual to maximize their own potential.”
“Going out of your comfort zone and being vulnerable: Those are the only ways to grow.”
“What I try to do is to create an environment that is not about the results. It's about development, and an understanding of what we're trying to achieve. And the more I'm able to do that, the more we're able to control the results.”
“I try to learn, I try to grow, I try to get better.”
“I think it's an important lesson in an leadership position to show that you're willing to be vulnerable, you're willing to make mistakes, and that's how I'm going to get better.”
