Robert Jackson, Owner
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and athletics have always played a pivotal role in my life. Throughout my formative years, I excelled in football, baseball, track, and basketball. After graduating high school, I joined the United States Navy where I performed my call of duty for the following ten years. Upon leaving the Navy, I pursued a career in the field of Information Technology. After a decade in corporate America, I finally decided to pursue my dream of teaching athletics and coaching full time.
I have enjoyed coaching youth leagues of various sports which include basketball and football at local community centers. Being involved with children has, and naturally still is, a passion of mine for many reasons. The Amazing Athletes program was a natural culmination of my athletic talent, fundamental knowledge, and desire to work with children. Sports, and training for sports, have always been motivating forces in the Jackson family. Testament to this is my 18 year-old son who, not unlike his father, shows talent and great promise in high school football and track.
My passion for sports combined with a natural affinity for instructing children makes the Amazing Athletes program the perfect platform to realize my dream of teaching children through sports.
