A Pro Athlete that Embraces Education
Both on and off the field, Mack is always working toward a winning future He invests in individuality, challenges himself to be more than just a professional athlete by constantly asking himself: “why not?” He cultivates inclusivity by seeking to create personal connections wherever he goes; from participating in PAC’s Pro Athlete Business Combines and creating inspiring social media content to volunteering with the Special Olympics. He elevates impact by combining a passion for literacy with his platform as a professional athlete to drive accessibility to education in underserved populations.
Business
After 3 years of thoughtful planning, research, and education, Hollins’ confidently stepped into the world of real estate. His first investment was in a modest Florida Apartment building that he hopes to convert into two units, both eligible for Section 8 housing vouchers. He continues to develop his real estate knowledge as much as his portfolio of properties.
Advocacy
One of Mack’s greatest passions lies in his work with the Special Olympics. As an advocate for inclusion, Mack began his involvement with the Special Olympics back in his days as a student at the University of North Carolina. He was honored with the title of “Global Ambassador” for the Special Olympics in 2020 and has continued to donate his time off the field to advocating and serving the mission of the Special Olympics.
Passion
Mack believes reading – from playbooks to children’s books – is fundamental to success. He felt so strongly that in 2020 he started his own online content series “Mack Book Mondays” and “Fast Fact Fridays” to help drive accessibility to education, especially in underserved populations. Being able to express his love for literacy through the creativity of social media is just one of the opportunities that inspires him beyond the game.
"Why can’t I go do real estate? Why can’t I go start a business? Why can’t I go help the community? All at the same high level that I’m doing football… I’m learning so much and PAC has been so great in just individualizing it."
