Brian Blair Helps a Youth Achieve His Dream
 
(Tampa, FL) -  Whether you are a fan of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) or not, you have to be a fan of Jason Jack’s story.
 
Some of us religiously watch competitive sports and wish we could be just like those athletes.  Most of us know that it’s only a dream; but for Jason, it’s about to become a reality when he takes to the ring in his 1st Professional Bout with RFC (Real Fighting Championships) event this Friday, under the guidance of Brian Blair.
 
Jason’s MMA dream started to flourish when introduced to former pro wrestling star, Business Owner, and Political Candidate Brian Blair 2 years ago. Blair is no stranger to full contact professional sports and disciplined training; thus making him the right choice for Jason’s trainer and mentor. 
 
Blair took Jason under his wing by training him mentally and physically for the demands of competitive MMA. Blair showed Jason the ropes and what it takes to win, by never giving up and never allowing your opponent to see fear.  Blair also instilled in Jason the “3 D Theory – Desire, Dedication and Discipline,” and most importantly to remain humble despite your success.
 
Jason fought on the streets and was doomed for trouble. Blair redirected Jason’s anger towards a structured life that would fulfill his dreams and desires.
 
Blair’s mentoring and training has turned Jason into an incredible athlete; one that other opponents would rather not face.  His training has been proven successful; now the test at hand is to reach the goal he set out to accomplish. That accomplishment would be to win his first professional MMA Challenge. 
 
“Jason Jack has shed blood, sweat and tears in hopes to become a champion” Blair states.  “He trained in a gym with no air conditioning to be in condition. He has always been focused and dedicated to the goal. Jason is a strong individual, and I am very proud of him.”
 
“It doesn’t matter if your role is direct or indirect when shaping our youth, if you set an example; most people will follow your lead and instruction.” Blair added.
 
“I want to thank Coach Blair. He taught me to always be humble and to excel at everything I do.” says Jason.
 
One of the most rewarding contributions Blair has made to the community has been the ability to mentor today’s youth, like Jason.  Blair has mentored hundreds of youth across the Tampa Bay area over the years and eagerly volunteers.
 
Shaping today’s youth to be successful, respectful and positive adults in the community is something Blair holds true to his heart as it is one of reasons he decided to pursue public service. 
 
As a County Commissioner, Blair remained true to his word and did what he said he would; thus ensuring the best for Hillsborough County through his eyes and in his heart.
 
On Friday, July 23, 2010 at 8:00 PM you can see Jason Jack and all the RFC personalities perform in the sport Jason loves the most, while attempting to take one step closer to his championship dream.
