Silvery Gold, Level-Headedness, and Heat Culture- Jackson Johnson For our first people focused episode of the new series, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jackson Johnson. Fresh off the back of winning his first national title with Texas Hill Country Heat, Jackson tells us about his quidditch career in which he has become one of the best beaters in the game. From Texas State, to Lone Star, to Austin Outlaws in MLQ and the US National Team, Jackson has worked his way up through the ranks, achieving a lot (including 3 MLQ titles and a World Cup) while also dealing with disappointment along the way with 4 silver medals at US Nationals. Jackson gives us an insight into the way he plays the game as well as his thoughts on his career so far, notably the recent championship win with Heat.
