Nic was only 7 years old when he got on his first bull. At 13, he was named the 2020 Junior World Bull Riding Champion, making him the first ever in the Northeast to win. With goals of going pro, that was just the beginning for the now-14-year-old, who hopes to take home the title again at this year's Junior World Finals in December.

\"It's a passion, you know, it's a lifestyle. It's just not something that we do. It goes ... so far deep, deeper than just the competition,\" Corey Jackson told \"GMA,\" adding that loving and taking care of the land and animals they cultivate is an integral part of their routine. \"So when we're not rodeoing, we're talking about rodeo, we're watching rodeo ... we're watching videos of the kids' performances.\"

\"Now I can separate from it a little more,\" Robyn Jackson added. \"But I think the gist of it is we can do just about anything as a family. Whatever the activity is, we're able to do it as one unit, and I really am thankful for that.\"
