Manny Castro is a young man that (self-admitted) fights his addictions every single day.  No stranger to fighting, he has always understood that you win some and you lose some.  Now that he has his son in his life, he discusses how his upbringing, his gang life, and his future will always play a part in who he was, who he is, and who he will become.

When I began this episode, I quickly found out about Coach Cameron Pratt's dedication, passion, and also his drive.  When I say drive, I mean that literally and figuratively.  Coach Pratt and I met in a Facebook Group for coaching and eventually exchanged information to set up this episode.  

His story is one that inspires me to be better on multiple fronts.  What Coach Pratt does on a daily basis is eye-opening, but not many people know his story.  This podcast gives insight on family, sports, college athletics, education, and more.  Take a 30 minute break and enjoy getting to know Coach Cameron Pratt.
