WARRIOR LIFE.

Welcome to Warrior Way! We’re so glad you’re here and hope you’ll join us as we fulfill our calling to help athletes of all ages live courageously and think differently as they experience the gift of God’s presence in their lives through the trials and triumphs of sport.

Our lives in soccer have included the U.S. Women’s National Team, professional competition, and years of NCAA Division I coaching. Through those experiences, one conviction has shaped our work: the beautiful game provides an extraordinary opportunity to develop the mind, body, and spirit.

Through Warrior Way, we bring together soccer training, Christian faith, and service. We teach the fundamentals of the game while helping athletes explore how God’s Word applies to competition, relationships, disappointment, and success. Our goal is to help young people develop their abilities, grow in courage and character, and find their identity in Christ.

That mission reaches from training fields in Central Texas to partnerships in Latin America. Whether we are coaching a young player, mentoring a coach, or serving alongside a local community, we want soccer to create opportunities for meaningful relationships and faith in action.

As parents of four boys, this work is personal. We want our children—and every athlete we serve—to learn how to compete with purpose, respond to challenges, care for others, and use their gifts well.

Faith, family, and fútbol are at the heart of our home and our calling. Warrior Way is how we share that calling: teaching the game, investing in people, and helping athletes put God in their game.

- PAUL & MARCI JOBSON, founders

 

  • Marci Jobson brings experience in international soccer, professional competition, and collegiate coaching to her work helping young people grow in faith, character, and confidence. As co-founder and executive director of Warrior Way, she uses the game to develop athletes, serve families, and share the love of Jesus Christ locally and internationally.

    A member of the U.S. Women’s National Team from 2005 to 2007, Jobson was selected for the United States’ 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup team. She played collegiate soccer at Wisconsin and SMU, earning two WAC Mountain Division Player of the Year awards. Her professional career included playing in Germany and being drafted by the Atlanta Beat in the inaugural WUSA draft.

    Jobson spent 10 seasons as an NCAA Division I head coach at Northern Illinois University and Baylor University. At Baylor, she became the program’s winningest coach during her tenure and led the Bears to their first Big 12 Tournament championship and an NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in 2012.

    Today, through Warrior Way, Jobson helps expand access to soccer and creates opportunities for children and families in underserved communities. Through local programs and international partnerships, her work brings together soccer, discipleship, and service.

    Marci and her husband, Paul, have raised their four boys in Waco. Her work through Warrior Way carries the experience of an international athlete and collegiate coach into a personal mission: helping young people develop their abilities, put their faith into action, and use their gifts to serve others.

  • Paul Jobson brings more than three decades of experience in soccer leadership, coaching, and player development to his work as co-founder of Warrior Way. Together with his wife, Marci, he uses the game to help young people develop their skills, grow in character, and connect their Christian faith with the way they train, compete, and live.

    Jobson spent 17 years coaching NCAA Division I women’s soccer, including 14 years at Baylor University. During his time at Baylor, he helped the program earn three Big 12 championships and reach consecutive NCAA Elite Eights. He was named the 2018 Big 12 Coach of the Year and became the program’s winningest coach in 2019.

    Through Warrior Way, Jobson brings that experience to training, camps, mentorship, and community partnerships. Their work combines soccer instruction with opportunities to learn God’s Word, serve others, and develop the courage to think differently and live with purpose.

    Jobson also serves as Director of Atlético Dallas Youth – Central Texas and General Manager of Waco’s newly created USL League Two team, helping connect the game across youth development and the next levels of competition. He has also developed soccer relationships in Spain and Latin America, connecting players, coaches, and organizations across cultures.

    Paul and Marci have raised their four boys in Waco, where faith, family, and fútbol shape their home and their work. Through Warrior Way, he continues to invest in young people, helping them carry the lessons they learn on the field into their families, schools, and communities.

  • Together navigating D1 college coaching for 17 years, Paul and Marci have experienced many successes together on the pitch. However, their greatest accomplishments to date are their boys : Miller, Grey, Nash and Jett. These four young athletes proudly participate, and now coach, in Warrior Way Training Camps and serve as their parent’s greatest inspiration. The Jobson family motto is one of faith, family and futbol.
