To most, Bo Jackson is known as a two-sport professional athlete who had the unique ability to successfully balance NFL and MLB seasons. However, Jackson&rsquo;s motivation to be the best started far before the football field and baseball diamond &mdash; since childhood, he&rsquo;s been driven to outperform those around him in everything that he does. 

As a part of 1851&rsquo;s 10-part, exclusive interview series with Jackson, we asked where that internal drive and motivation comes from. 

Jackson said, &ldquo;My biggest fear in life is failure. And everybody&rsquo;s biggest fear should be that from the standpoint from that the only way the world is going to continue to rotate is somebody has to be successful at something. And I want to be a part of that group.&rdquo;

When asked where that drive comes from, Jackson added, &ldquo;That just comes from growing up and seeing people doing things that I wasn&rsquo;t able to do. Seeing people achieve things that I wasn&rsquo;t able to achieve as a kid. Having that fear of failing and then having to go back home, I never wanted that. Because as a kid, I was labeled to be that kid labeled to end up either in the cemetery or a prison by the time I was 21-years-old. I use that a little as fuel for my fire to be successful, and it&rsquo;s just something that&rsquo;s always stuck with me.&rdquo;
