Bennett Jackson’s love for football came from watching games on TV or going to Giants/Jets games with family or friends. As a youth player, he was motivated by the opportunity to expand his circle of friends.  At Notre Dame, his dedication to Sports, School and Sleep created a process to, “focus on now and prepare for tomorrow.” His commitment to making his mother proud instilled the discipline to consistently push himself past any limits allowing him to hear his name being called on draft day watching TV surrounded by family and friends.

This 7 year NFL veteran has experienced his share of successes and hardships including major injuries and changing multiple teams. In every case, his mindset of “So What, What now?’ and “dealing with outcomes as they come” have helped him to consistently readjust and refocus preparing him for perhaps his biggest challenge of all; the transition out of football.
