What soccer position does Jon Busch play?

Jon Busch played the goalkeeper position in professional soccer.

Busch spent most of his playing career in Major League Soccer, appearing for the Columbus Crew, Chicago Fire, and San Jose Earthquakes. As a goalkeeper, he was responsible for protecting the goal, organizing the defense, and preventing opponents from scoring. He was known for his reflexes, leadership, and shot-stopping ability.

Born in 1976, Busch played college soccer for the Charlotte 49ers before beginning his professional career. He earned MLS Goalkeeper of the Year honors in 2008 and represented the United States at youth level and once with the senior national team.

Busch retired as a player after a long professional career and later moved into coaching. He has worked as a goalkeeping coach, so current biographies may describe him as a coach rather than an active player. That career change does not alter the canonical answer to the question about his playing position.
