The post With Jarious Jackson appeared first on WINSTON one on one.

My goal is to figure out the tips and tricks of professional football players and also to give you a glimpse into their personal and professional lives. In this episode, I talk to Jarious Jackson, a former player with both the NFL & CFL and currently the Offensive Coordinator of the BC Lions. Jarious’ career started in 2000, when he got drafted to the NFL’s Denver Broncos in the seventh round pick number 214, to be precise. Pro scouts projected that Jarious could develop into a solid quarterback, if placed into the right system. And they were right, but not in the NFL. After four years of being the backup in Denver, he was released and pursued the CFL only to sign with the BC Lions. After eight solid years he was released and then signed with the Toronto Argonauts, becoming a big part of the Argonauts 2012 Grey Cup win, collecting his fourth Grey Cup ring and retiring that same year. Jarious wasn’t out of football for long though, he started coaching the next season as the Lions’ coach. He coached in the CFL for five years and is now back where he started as the Lions’ Offensive Coordinator contributing to the team and helping out their Offence. Jarious and I got into lots of conversations that you have not heard before. We talk about his rituals, his goal to eventually becoming a head coach, and his training routine. But without further ado, I hope you enjoy.

This interview is brought to you by The Canadian Brewhouse. I go to The Canadian Brewhouse all the time to watch my favourite sports because of the atmosphere. With the amount of TVs around it is impossible to miss a second. The Brewhouse is also the place that I go to on my cheat days. With the flavour of their poutine and burgers, its always a reward!

This interview is brought to you by the Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighters Association.The Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighters Association established the Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund in 1974. Their main purpose is to raise and distribute funds to help Saskatchewan families of burn patients with treatment, care, and rehabilitation. All funds raised by them stay in this province. As well, they have also provided the province’s two burn units in Regina and Saskatoon with state of the art equipment and the first hyperbaric chamber in Saskatchewan, located in Moose Jaw.

Through the SPFFA, they have been able to sponsor continuing education programs for nurses and doctors who treat and provide care for burn patients in both of Saskatchewan’s burn units. They are also dedicated in providing public education and awareness campaigns for burn safety and prevention. To make a donation, go their website at www.spffaburnfund.com.
