Krystal Jackson is a former UCLA All-American and professional beach volleyball player from the small town of Ventura, California. She was a starting setter and team captain for the UCLA Bruins, leading the program to four 5th-place finishes in the NCAA Tournament.
After college, she competed on the AVP Professional Beach Volleyball Tour and represented USA Volleyball internationally in competitions around the world.
While competing on the beach, Krystal also coached for a top volleyball club, leading a team for five consecutive years. During that time, her team earned three 3rd-place finishes and one 5th-place finish at the Junior Olympics in the Open Division. The athletes she coached went on to play at top Division I programs, including three who became starters at UCLA.
Following her professional playing career, Krystal became instrumental in building Jackson Strength, a sports performance facility in San Diego dedicated to helping youth athletes achieve their dreams of playing their sport in college. Together with her husband, Curtis, they have helped send hundreds of athletes on to compete in Division I college athletics.
Recently, they opened a new Jackson Strength facility in Whitefish, where they train athletes to become stronger, faster, and more athletic.
Krystal also continues to train athletes both online and in person, using her platform to inspire them to pursue their dreams and become the best versions of themselves.
