Early Career
Like many Americans at the time, before the advent of MLS, Zak played professional soccer in Germany for VfL Bochum II and Saarbrücken II during the 1993-1994 season. However, he never gained a spot on their first teams. He returned to the U.S. in 1994 and signed with the Los Angeles Salsa of the American Professional Soccer League. On October 17, 1995, Ibsen signed with Major League Soccer. As he waited for the first MLS season in 1996, Ibsen signed with the Tampa Bay Terror of the National Professional Soccer League for the 1995-1996 season. He played nine games before being traded to the Baltimore Spirit on January 17, 1996 in exchange for John Garvey.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“Even today . . . experts, usually male, tell women how to be mothers and warn them that they should not have children if they have any intention of leaving their side in their early years. . . . Children don’t need parents’ full-time attendance or attention at any stage of their development. Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
