I first met Jimmy 6 years ago during my senior year of high school. I was at a camp competing verse the best punters in Southern California. Long story short, I didn’t end up doing very well and failed to qualify for the finals the following day. Jimmy knew I was upset and could not showcase my punting to the colleges that would be there the next day. I came up to him afterwards thanking him for the opportunity. This moment changed my life forever. He told me, “You know what Robert, I know you have worked hard getting here; I am going to let you compete tomorrow.” I knew Jimmy had the athlete’s best interest at heart, and knew he was not in it for the money. He truly wanted to see one of his athletes succeed.
It led to a full scholarship and eventually a position in the National Football League. I recently caught up with Jimmy a few months ago during another camp. He invited me into his home and allowed me to meet his family. I learned so much from him over the weekend. I realized that he has a true passion for what he does. He is totally in it for the kids he works with. The camp he put on with the instructors and demonstrations he had, he could have easily charged three times the amount as he did. This just showed me again he has such a passion for what he does. While staying at his house I learned a lot about him personally. He is a true family man. His love for his wife and two beautiful little daughters is so great to witness. He is extremely caring, generous, and so knowledgeable. The thing I respect most about him, is that he does not pretend to know everything. He is always willing to learn.
I am so glad I got to know Jimmy. I consider it a great blessing to be able to work with Jimmy in the way I did. God’s timing was perfect in both of our lives and without Jimmy I truly believe I would not be where I am today. I would recommend Jimmy to anyone seeking to get better at their craft, whatever that may be. He will be there to help in any way that he can. He will go out of his way to help others succeed at what they are doing. Thank you Jimmy for being a great teacher a great person and a great friend! Robert
