Martin Jacobson, the charismatic coach of New York City boys soccer power Martin Luther King, is the subject of a documentary film that will be shown Saturday at the USC Convention in Philadelphia.

The airing will take place from 5:15-6:45 p.m. in CC 204C.

This past season, Jacobson, commonly known as "Coach Jake", guided MLK to its 17th PSAL title in the last 21 years, a 18-0 season and a best-ever FAB 50 No. 4 final ranking.

The documentary exams the life of the 70-year-old coach who has overcome heroin addiction to become the all-time winningest soccer coach in New York City history.
