Walter grew up in a low-income family witnessing domestic violence
between his parents. Jackson was then attracting media attention as
a rare Four-Sport athlete who played football, basketball, baseball,
track and field. But a fateful car accident stole his promising
athletic career, taking away scholarship offers from top colleges
around the country.
Even worse, doctors predicted he wouldn’t survive his coma and multiple
internal injuries. Walter proved them wrong.

But as he struggled to learn to walk again, he grieved his athletic career was over. Just as Walter was making a full physical recovery, he was devastated again. His father was murdered by a stranger.
These incidents left Walter living an angry life, but he knew this attitude was holding him back so he started applying what he learned in sports to his life. “When you get knocked down in life,” says Walter, “Pick yourself up, get back into the game of life...and Sport the Right Attitude!”
As a keynote speaker and trainer, Walter teaches this principles. He is known for his exciting delivery and practical step-by-step action plan.
