Jay Jackson

Jay Jackson graduated from Stanford University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. He was an All-American wrestler and assistant coach of the Stanford team before a near-death experience led him to reevaluate his life, leading him to acquire a Master of Arts in Education at Pacific Lutheran University in 1999 so he could pursue a career in education. Since then, Jackson has been in the field for over two decades as a teacher, coach, and assistant principal, consistently pursuing his purpose of helping young people learn how to best take on challenges in their lives. To this end, Jackson has created a series of tools to use in his own classes and to help other teachers introduce and integrate performance character concepts to students. Jackson has presented his process to individual teachers, departments, schools, sports teams, sports leagues, and businesses across the United States and internationally.
