Today we’d like to introduce you to Shamari Jackson
Hi Shamari, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
YADYA Performance started as a spark of passion for coaching basketball at a local charter school. It was here that I discovered my true calling in coaching and training young athletes. With a vision to offer personalized athletic training sessions, YADYA Performance was born. The goal was clear: to provide youth with the opportunity to excel through one-on-one or small group sessions. Today, YADYA Performance boasts a team of experienced and highly trained coaches and trainers, all united by the mission of “Specializing in Athletic Enrichment.”
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road to creating a small business such as mine was not easy. When advocating for youth with exceptional talents in sports there were many downfalls. One problem that I often ran into was finding a suitable and affordable location to train. With gym fees ranging from $150 to $ 300 an hour and local facilities charging $75 for 30 minutes while providing no equipment was insane. One principle that I have is to provide affordable sports and agility training for all family types.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
YADYA is an acronym for “ Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude”. As a former student-athlete, it is important to carry an attitude of perseverance. There are many times when we become exhausted, and sometimes even wish to give up.
I believe there is a sport, activity, or hobby for everyone to enjoy and blow off steam. YP is set apart from other performance trainers because we travel to our trainees, we provide personalized training for our youth, and not only do we train we coach. This allows our youth to be coachable and learn to manage school and sports.
