Hi my name is Trent Jack, I am very honoured and very proud to be on Team 700.

I’m a former youth in care, I’ve been boxing for over 4 years, I have had 4 amateur fights in British Columbia.

I have also been a part of Team 700 since day one, boxing has had a positive impact on my life, boxing keeps me out of trouble and keeps me strong & healthy.

Team 700 has not only provided a safe place for me to train, but Team 700 also creates awareness on an ongoing issue in B.C.

Team 700 creates awareness on how much Youth age out of care in British Columbia, which I’m very proud to be a part of.

I want at risk youth like me to find something that motivates them to do better and achieve sobriety and get off of the streets.

My mother comes from Hesquiaht, my father comes from Qualicum, and my grandmother comes from Nam’gis First Nation.

I am sixteen years old and I am going into eleventh grade. My favourite subjects are English, Social Studies and Music.

As I grow older, it’s more and more important to me to connect with culture and my communities.

I had the amazing opportunity to play basketball with my cousins for Hesquiaht Storm, at this year’s Junior All Native on Snuneymuxw territories.

I started boxing this year (2023). From my first day, I was obsessed, and I aspire to go as far as I can with it.
