GARY'S JOURNEY FROM WALK-ON TO CAPTAIN
Gary Brackett is living proof of the classic American Dream. He worked hard to take himself from an undrafted free agent with no scholarship in 2003, up through nine seasons alongside Peyton Manning and a Super Bowl win as captain for the Indianapolis Colts. He even set records, boasting an impressive number of solo tackles during their upset loss against the New Orleans Saints at Super Bowl XLIV.
But Gary wasn’t done there; upon leaving the field he went on to bag himself an MBA from George Washington University and certifications in real estate, franchising, and marketing, making 2020 his year yet again.
Brackett proved his resilience in 2020 as economic hardship threatened to crush him and his restaurant chain. He used the opportunity to become a beacon of hope, utilizing public speaking and coaching as vehicles for sharing his story with those who need inspiration on their journey towards fulfillment. With vigor, he leads them down an optimistic path full of possibility.
