Teachers. Coaches. Mentors. Motivational Speakers. Bloggers. A true team! Kevin and Brenita have been blessed to coach at the college level together for eight years and have improved the culture at each program. They started coaching together during the summer of 2008 on the AAU circuit with no budget or resources to succeed, but used strategy and perseverance to grow that team's success to its first and only tournament championships.The Jackson's have been blessed to serve four different college programs and see God improve team morale, community buy-in, winning percentages, team GPA's, graduation rates, community service hours, home game attendance, camp attendance and fundraising campaigns. The husband and wife team work diligently to teach discipline, character and teamwork through basketball and find that players respond to their methods.
Kevin and Brenita now use their experience of playing and coaching basketball to consult other sports companies looking to grow or transition to a higher level. Their heart for helping others to win draws players to them. They enjoy being able to share their gifts and talents with the next generation. They credit God for all their success!

Testimonials about the Jackson's:
“Kevin and Brenita Jackson are champions in every aspect of
the term. Their strengths both on and off the court have inspired hundreds upon
hundreds of young people to be not only great basketball players but great human
beings. The Jackson's sense of priority is uncommon and uncompromised. Their
purposeful desire to turn the spotlight off of themselves and on to their
players is admirable. Even more impressive, however, is the character and
dignity they exemplify when there is no one watching . . . when there is no
spotlight. These are coaches of tremendous faith, and they live it every day of
their lives. The Jackson's inspire young people to be great not just on
the court but more importantly in life, and their commitment to hard
work and desire to create an atmosphere towards student development is
second to none.”
