Jamil Roberts

Hey there, I’m Jamil Roberts. My journey in soccer has been nothing short of a dream. From winning a college national championship with Marshall University, hearing my name called at the MLS SuperDraft, to lifting the USL 1 championship trophy, these experiences have shaped not only my career, but who I am today.

But beyond the pitch, I've always been fascinated by the stories that shape us as athletes and people. This curiosity is what led me to start The Back Stick Podcast. It’s a place where I can sit down with fellow pros, old friends, and new faces to talk about the career highs and lows, behind-the-scenes moments, and highlight the personalities of professional soccer players in the US.

Welcome to the show!
