"I am half German and never forget the incredible atmosphere of watching a Bundesliga matches in Cologne with 1.FC Koeln and Gelsenkirchen with Schalke 04," Jenkins commented. "The stadium was a wave of flags with fans singing and celebrating, the performance on the pitch inspiring. Fussball in Germany is more important than football, baseball and basketball combined in the United States."

"I watch a lot of the Bundesliga and English Premier League on Fox Soccer Channel and get motivated to try some of their moves and footwork," Jenkins concluded.
