Jon Busch (born August 18, 1976) is an American professional soccer coach and former player, who played as a goalkeeper.[2] Busch is currently the goalkeeping coach for USL Championship club Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.
He is best remembered for his captivating saves, despite his shorter stature for an elite goalkeeper, and spent most of his 21-year professional playing years in Major League Soccer, appearing for the Columbus Crew, Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes.
