Dan Skuta - Children’s Football Camps

Dan Skuta is an NFL player who retired from his sports career and shifted his focus to investing and business ownership. 

The end of his time as an NFL player came when he suffered an acute injury during his preseason with the Chicago Bears and required hip replacement surgery.

Where many people wouldn’t have looked back at the sport, Mr. Skuta now hosts and volunteers at children’s football camps.

Dan Skuta: Helping the Community through Sacksonville

Former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Dan Skuta established the Sacksonville brand to fight a very real problem affecting thousands throughout the local community: childhood hunger.
With Sacksonville, Dan Skuta and his team generously donate a nutritious sack lunch to a local child for each t-shirt sold, ensuring local fans can support their favorite team and a hungry child in need with every purchase.

Skuta and Sacksonville are committed to stomping out hunger while giving Jags fans a powerful way to lift their favorite squad to victory.

Each Sacksonville t-shirt displays high-quality graphics in support of the Jags’ bone-crushing defense. And the proceeds from each shirt sold online go directly toward a full sack lunch that helps a local child be their best and build a better future.

For nine years, Skuta chased down quarterbacks and made life miserable for the opposition on the gridiron. With Sacksonville, Skuta looks to tackle a new adversary, and to ensure local children have the nutrition they need to realize victory in their own lives.

Dan Skuta - Choosing the Right Business to Invest In

Dan Skuta retired from football after nine successful seasons in the NFL.

Now, the former Jacksonville Jaguar spends much of his time not only managing several small business investments he’s made across the country, but also seeking out and vetting opportunities that show the right level of promise and potential for return.

Choosing the Right Business to Invest In

Since leaving the game of football, Dan Skuta has been investing in businesses, including two restaurants, a Texas ranch and even a CBD oil production company.

And as an experienced small business investor, Skuta has come to appreciate the importance of vetting opportunities carefully, such as by:

• Asking for data. A small company that offers up data and market research to support their claims is much more desirable than empty promises backed by no information.
  
• Knowing the niche. Opportunities that stand out from their competitors and have a unique idea likely have a better opportunity at attracting business and thriving in the long run.
