Today we’d like to introduce you to Kameel Jackson.
We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Kameel Jackson to many. Coach Jackson to most. Dad to four very special individuals.
I’m originally from South bend , Indiana. The place that defines me more than any other. Raised to be God fearing , respectful , loyal and tough!
My family moved us to Texas at a young age in pursuit of better opportunities for everyone involved.
As my parents love or responsibilities grew in Texas (which ever came first) , simultaneously , so did our love for the game of football.
My brother (Kenzee Jackson) and I would always make it our duty to find out where the football was being played in the neighborhood and make our mark.
From those early moments in our childhood, there was no time to look back.
Coming up in the Arlington area of the Dallas-Ft.Worth metroplex. This is where me and my brother became household names. “Hey , there’s goes the twins” (often heard when we would approach any football field.)
We played our High School football at Arlington Sam Houston. Where we established ourselves as arguably the best 1-2 pass catching duo the city had seen. Together earning All-American , All-State , All-Area , All-district honors. As well as scholarships offers from the best schools in the country.
My background (as well as my brothers) as an athlete laid the foundation for our business today.
SlideHouse,LLC . All things kinetic.
We also have boots in the community with our nonprofit organization titled “Stance & Start, Inc. A mission that serves minority youth, while providing tangible resources for success!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Definitely not a smooth road. I can’t even tell you I stayed on road the entire time. Slow motion is better than the No motion.
That’s what helped me stay the course when vision was blurry In entrepreneurship. I never lost sight that day 30 was in fact 29 days away from day 1. I had come too far!
When anxiety , discouraging thoughts or maybe sales aren’t up .. you have to remember what starting out was like. Keep going! The breakthrough is coming!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
SlideHouse,LLC : We’re currently working with all of our in-season football athletes 1-2 a week. While also planning our spring and summer football training camps.
Stance & Start, Inc. : We have some really cool community service events going on throughout the month of November , geared toward Thanksgiving and we back door with the month of December for a Bike Drive. With a goal to bless 100 kids with bikes.
We love surprises, fun facts, and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I’m am overrated football coach and underrated dad. Often times I get praise for being a good football coach. Which I must say jokingly , I know my stuff. What I REALLY know , is how to be a great father to my kids. That’s where I’m an All-American!
That’s where I strive to be the best version of myself. Me having the type of love I have for my children , allows me to thrive in loving on others in a special way that make coaching , easy.
