Jahmal Banks has always been a competitor. A standout wide receiver who began his college football career at Wake Forest before transferring to the University of Nebraska, he knows the pressures that come with being a high-level athlete. Now preparing for the NFL Draft, Jahmal understands that success isn’t just about physical performance—it’s about mental resilience, emotional stability, and spiritual alignment. That’s where Ascend Meditations changed the game for him.
"A couple of weeks ago, I started using an app called Ascend Meditations, and it has been transformational for my spiritual, mental, and physical growth," Jahmal shares. "My meditation journey has had its ups and downs—I never really knew how to meditate or what worked best for me. But Ascend has helped me focus on my breath, understand its power, and clear my mind."
For Jahmal, meditation has become more than just a routine—it’s a tool for clarity, presence, and emotional balance. "Being in the moment and having a sense of emotional well-being has allowed me to tap into my true self. Now, external factors no longer dictate my internal state. This shift has brought me peace and a deeper sense of gratitude, which has been essential in my journey."
As he pushes toward his dream of playing in the NFL, Jahmal credits Ascend for giving him the tools to stay centered. "I appreciate Ascend, and I have to give a huge shoutout to the bros Hampton Tanner and Walker Ferguson. Y'all should be proud of yourselves for taking a risk and betting on your vision. This isn’t the most popular path, but it’s a meaningful one. Keep living with purpose on purpose. I love y’all, man."
Jahmal Banks’ journey is a testament to the power of mindfulness and meditation in high-performance environments. His story shows how Ascend Meditations is equipping athletes and individuals alike with the mental edge needed to unlock their full potential—on and off the field.
