This conversation with Jackson Matteo is special. We cover his time at Virginia chronologically, from walk-on to graduate assistant coach, and examine how our relationship evolved along the way. I have learned so much from Jackson about commitment, discipline, and total effort.
Jackson is currently working on his dissertation, and he explains why his topic of choice is important and prevalent.
