I've aways been drawn to Jason Burton's energy and passion with what he does. As the head coach, he's great at developing culture within a program. You cannot question the fact that his players will go to battle for him!

This interview is an inside look at Coach Burton's career and we learn about leadership, culture building, perseverance, and the life lessons that sports will teach you.

We also talk in depth about Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression. This is an amazing resource for those who battle with their mental health. From the website:

"China McCarney started the foundation Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression because he deals with Anxiety on a daily basis and felt the need and desire to “Be The Change” instead of waiting for a change. China resisted and fought his anxiety disorder for 5 years before he finally decided to attack it head on. He discovered that the second he embraced Anxiety as just being a part of who he was, just like all of his other attributes, it no longer had the severe crippling effect that it had in the past. As he began to study Anxiety and Depression he realized what a stigma the mental health issues had. That stigma is a huge part of the problem. People feel they have to be embarrassed because they are dealing with one or more of these issues and they hide and hold on to it as tightly as they possibly can."
