Juan Jacinto grew up in the small town of Willits, CA. Lost his way for a while. Found it again through the game, through a coach who believed in him, and through a loss that changed everything.

He's 27 now. He runs the Willits program, coaches select teams, trains kids one on one, and shows up every single day for a town that doesn't always get shown up for.

This conversation started on a field in Willits when Juan walked up to Ian and told him he'd heard an episode about his dad. And then he told him about his buddy.

Everything Juan does, every kid he coaches, every line he paints, traces back to that.
