A MY P.E. TV ORIGINAL SERIES
MORE THAN A GAME
The athlete you see.
The story you don’t.
BEHIND THE SCENES · NO HYPE NEEDED
BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD
Talent gets your attention. Character keeps it. NO HYPE NEEDED: More Than a Game gets to know young athletes beyond the highlights—their families, their drive, and the people they are becoming.
ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT / 01MEET JAYDEN LONGSTREET
At the DREAMERZ Academy All-Star Tournament, Jayden earned MVP in his division. But the story goes beyond the award. His father, Jeff, describes a young man who puts others first—even helping opponents up off the floor.
That’s the character we want to explore: the person behind the player, and the family cheering him on.

JAYDEN · FAMILY & THE MVP MOMENT
Jayden’s mother, Shannon Jacks, was there supporting him, too. These family photos share more of the people in his corner.
FAMILY BEHIND THE GAME
Jayden’s parents—Shannon Jacks and Jeff Longstreet—along with his stepmom, grandfather and little brother were in the stands to support him at the All-Star Tournament.

EVERY STORY STARTS SOMEWHERE.
IN HIS OWN WORDS
“When I realized I loved basketball I started taking it more seriously.”— JAYDEN LONGSTREET
From his early days in a basketball uniform to the athlete he’s becoming.
HIS SISTER’S BIGGEST FAN
Jayden was also pitching his skillful volleyball-playing sister as a future featured athlete for the series. Apparently, being an MVP comes with a side job as your sister’s agent.
It’s refreshing to hear siblings being such huge fans of each other. While Jayden was playing, his sister was competing in a volleyball game of her own.
ANOTHER STORY TO KNOW
Kingston Nguyen is also part of our NO HYPE NEEDED journey. His family came out to support him at the All-Star Tournament, too. We look forward to sitting down with them next.
The next chapter goes beyond the court.
