Jamaica College TD embraces pressure

Newly appointed Jamaica College (JC) Manning Cup Technical Director Jason Henry says he understands the high expectations that come with leading one of Jamaica’s most successful schoolboy football programmes, but insists he is not feeling pressured to deliver the title this season.

Henry, who has been part of JC’s football programme for the past five years as head of physical performance, replaced Davion Ferguson, who resigned as technical director in May. JC finished runners-up in last year’s Manning Cup after a 2-0 loss to Excelsior in the final at the National Stadium.

Henry said the expectations surrounding the position are a natural consequence of JC’s rich history in the competition.
