This week on Sports Will Save Us All, we're joined by John Youboty Jr., whose story is a powerful reminder that setbacks don't have to define us — in sports or in life.

After a standout senior season at Temple University, where he earned Second Team All Big East Defensive honors, John was picked up by the Denver Broncos as an un-drafted free agent. But just two years into his time with the organization, a torn Achilles brought his football career to a sudden end.

In our conversation, John reflects on the emotional and psychological impact of that moment — and the work it takes to rebuild your identity when the thing you've spent your life chasing is taken off the table. He talks about resilience, motivation, and the discipline required to move forward instead of letting adversity dictate the narrative.

John eventually forged a new path as a real estate investor, entrepreneur, and ICF-certified executive coach. Today, as the founder of the Supreme Coaching Group, he is dedicated to helping others reach their full potential by aligning purpose with performance.

On this week's episode of Sports Will Save Us All, Sasha sits down with Jeffrey Weiss—author of the wildly inspiring book Racing Against Time.

Jeffrey didn't lace up for his first 10K until the age of 48, but once he did, he never looked back. In his 50s and early 60s he went on to complete more marathons than most people care to count, knocked out two Ironman races, survived twice the notoriously brutal 56-mile ultramarathon in South Africa, and somehow decided that wasn't enough… so he ran a 72-mile ultramarathon around Tahoe for good measure.

In this conversation, Jeffrey shares what pushed him to start running later in life, how he built the mental and physical toughness to keep going, and why he believes it's never too late to chase something big. And yes, Sasha admits she's a bit irritated with him—because his book is so good, so compelling, and so annoyingly motivating that she's now wondering whether her long-held "13.1 miles is my limit" belief might not be true after all.

If you've ever thought you were too old, too busy, or too late to try something new, Jeffrey's story might just convince you otherwise.

This week's guest, Chris Baron, is an award-winning documentary producer and director, not necessarily a job that you would associate with sports until you see how Chris goes about his work. In addition to the clear parallels to team sports, Chris's position has required he push himself to his physical limits climbing, spelunking, hiking, hanging, and lifting.

Chris discusses the thrill of working in extreme environments and unforgettable filmmaking experiences, including camping by a lava lake, descending into a volcano, and crawling through an underground cave system. His passion for storytelling, science and adventure shines through in this unique episode of Sports Will Save Us All.

Sports Fam, you can find Chris's podcast, No Ordinary Monday wherever you listen to podcasts and online at NoOrdinaryMonday.com and on Instagram @noordinarymondaypodcast.

For this week's episode Sasha sits down with Coach Tre Hickem and a group of dedicated flag and tackle football student-athletes from Mountain Ridge High School; JT, Ethan, Teymur and Sophia, to talk about the volunteer work they're doing to make a difference in the lives of elementary school kids and the profound effects this work has had on their own lives.

These players are living proof that sports aren't just about touchdowns and trophies—they're about heart, growth, and connection.

Coach Hickem shares his passion for building a positive team culture, while his players open up about how volunteering, perseverance, and mentorship have shaped who they are and who they hope to become. Together, they explore the lessons sports teach us all: teamwork, leadership, resilience, and the power of giving back.

Sports Fam, today we're saddling up for a conversation about the incredible bond between humans and horses. For centuries, horses have carried us—literally and emotionally—and science now confirms what many of us have always felt: these powerful, peaceful animals can change lives.

That's the mission at Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship, an Arizona nonprofit that has been offering life-changing programs for children and adults with disabilities since 1983—all at no cost to participants. Camelot believes you can't put a price on human dignity, and their raise-money-first, spend-it-second philosophy has kept them debt-free for over four decades.

Each year, Camelot hosts Starry Knights, a fundraising gala under the desert sky, spotlighting the inspiring stories of two students. This year, those students are with us in the studio: Heidi Miller and Phil Simpson.

Join us as we talk about the transformative power of horses, the joy of riding, and the incredible community built at Camelot.

Sports Fam, you can learn more about Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship online at www.CamelotAZ.org and on Facebook @CamelotAZ

What does it take to defy gravity—literally and figuratively? This week on Sports Will Save Us All, host Sasha Graham sits down with Michael Glen, known around the world as The Rolling Pilot, to explore that question from 2,000 feet in the air.

Michael became the world's first paraplegic licensed hot air balloon pilot after a life-altering car accident in 1996 left him paralyzed from the waist down. Told he couldn't, he spent 10 years proving he could—and in 2006, he did just that. Since then, he's flown around the globe, inspired others to follow in his path, and completely reimagined what accessibility looks like in the skies.

Michael's story is one of bold action, creative problem-solving, and deep love for a sport that few truly understand. This isn't just a story about ballooning. It's a story about charting your own course—and bringing joy to people everywhere.

Sports fam, you can find Michael on Instagram @rollingpilot
