We had the pleasure to host our very own intern and podcast producer to be on the show.
Pablo is the Director of Athletic Relationships for Sleefs and Social Media Manager for Sleefs athletes.
Pablo is heavily immersed in the high school football scene (recruiting, camps, combines, 7v7, coaching etc) - He is our own in house Adam Schefter!
We had a great conversation about the temperature of the youth athletic space, coaching and culture philosophies as well as the issue that many athletes face is transitioning to the pros-that being that there's simply an oversaturated market for them. How can they set themselves up for success, regardless of the NFL,CFL, XFL etc.

What is it like to be a Student-Athlete-Father?
How do you lead a team that doesn't buy in to the culture and foundation that has been established?
What does depression really look like on the surface?
This special episode of WalkOn Mentality has the unique stories and perspective of Cedric Thompson.
Ced was a former teammate of ours at UCF. He was one of the leaders on our notorious 0-12 season. On paper that may seem like a failure, but the culture and foundation that he helped build was a huge factor to our future success, and the culture that we left after him.
Ced is now a phenomenal Husband, father, and social media personality.
