Built, not given.

From Division I Football to a Future in Real Estate.

I’m a Business Economics student and Arizona football walk-on pursuing a future in real estate. Football has taught me to prepare, respond to feedback, and stay committed through setbacks. I’m looking for opportunities to bring those habits to a team while learning the business of real estate.

ARIZONA FOOTBALL WALK-OUT · #39

The story behind the drive

I’m Jacob Buggie, a Business Economics student at the University of Arizona and a walk-on linebacker with Arizona football. I grew up in Phoenix, and my interest in real estate began through family members working in the industry. I’m drawn to the teamwork, creativity, and problem solving involved in turning an idea into a property or development.

My path in football taught me to keep working when the next opportunity wasn’t guaranteed. After tearing the labrum in both shoulders during my senior year of high school, I continued pursuing my goal of playing college football. Joining Arizona as a walk-on and learning linebacker after playing other positions challenged me to prepare consistently, accept coaching, and adapt.

Real estate interests me because it brings people, creative ideas, and financial decisions together. I enjoy hearing different perspectives and working toward a practical solution. I want to explore industrial, residential, and retail real estate through hands-on experience, while developing the analytical and communication skills to contribute to a team.

My Story

From pursuing college football to preparing for a career in real estate, I’m learning that progress comes from preparation, feedback, and consistent effort. This video offers a look at my background and the direction I’m working toward.

04 / 07 — PROFESSIONAL EVOLUTION

Building trust through relationships and execution.

My goal is to contribute to real estate teams through thoughtful problem solving, strong relationships, and reliable work. This semester, I compared my self-perception with teammate feedback and presentation evaluations. That comparison showed where my identity is visible to others and where I need to make my effort more consistent.

I see myself as hard-working, caring, calm, and driven. My feedback supports my ability to connect with people and communicate confidently. It also shows that strong relationships and presentation skills need to be matched by better preparation, earlier involvement, and dependable follow-through.

WHAT ALIGNMENT MEANS HERE

The alignment is strongest in care for others and a positive team presence. The gap is in how consistently my effort is visible during preparation and development. Recognizing both helps me describe an authentic brand and choose specific behaviors to improve.

CLAIM

Making my drive visible through consistent action

Caring for others is a clear part of my professional identity; consistently demonstrating my work ethic is an area I need to strengthen.

In my Self-Perception Inventory, I selected “Hard-Working,” “Caring,” and “Driven,” among other traits, and identified Relationships as my informal team role. I rated helping others at 90/100 and competition and achievement at 100/100. Across three peer-feedback reports, my contribution to a positive team environment ranged from 85.00 to 94.75 out of 100. My effort ratings ranged from 74.50 to 81.00 out of 100 and were below the corresponding team averages in all three reports.

My effort ratings ranged from 74.50 to 81.00 out of 100 and were below the corresponding team averages in all three reports. Motivator scores (helping others 90/100, achievement 100/100) are self-ratings of interest, not proof of skill, and are not charted against peer ratings.

CONCLUSION The professional I am working toward.

I want real estate professionals to see someone who connects well with others, thinks carefully, and follows through. My next steps are to strengthen my analytical skills, seek practical real estate experience, and evaluate my progress through timely work and direct feedback. My brand will become more credible as my everyday habits consistently support the impression I want to make.

STRENGTHS, WITH EVIDENCE
Determination

I continued pursuing college football through setbacks and earned an opportunity as a walk-on.

Teamwork

Learning a new position has required listening, accepting feedback, and understanding my role within a team.

Analytical communication

In a class project, I connected campaign goals to proposed measures of success and explained how we could evaluate them.

Evidence of work

These projects show how I communicate ideas, work with others, and turn a broad objective into a practical plan. Each example identifies my role and the skill it demonstrates.

Irish Spring: Expanding What Customers See

Prepared for the Director of Communications. My contribution: the KPI slide, page 13 of 21.
Proposed targets, not achieved results 6 team members
Slide 13 by Jacob Buggie: KPIs can show whether the communication plan works. Influencer campaign, use awareness, percent naming one validated use beyond the shower, target plus 10 percentage points versus prelaunch by Week 12, evaluated by audience surveys before launch and at Week 12. Website hub, guide exploration, percent of hub sessions that open a use guide, target at least 40 percent of website sessions by Week 12, evaluated with Google Analytics 4 weekly reporting and a Week 12 evaluation. Owner: Communications Director plus analytics team. Week 12: expand if both targets are met; otherwise refine and retest.

Context & challenge

Irish Spring markets itself only as a personal hygiene product, although customers already use the bar for purposes such as neutralizing odors, garden protection and freshening shoes. Team 142 saw an opportunity to communicate value beyond the shower and reach a broader audience.

Team strategy

An influencer campaign (#MoreThanAShower) to demonstrate validated uses, a “Beyond the Bar” website hub to explain them and collect customer tips, and a phased 12-week pilot with a $502,000 planning budget. The plan asks for pilot approval, with expansion decided at Week 12.

My slide defines how the team would know the plan is working: one outcome measure for each recommendation, a proposed Week 12 target, the evaluation method, an owner, and a decision rule for whether to expand or refine.
