Host Thembi Duncan speaks with JT Dorsey, former professional soccer player and founder of the JT Dorsey Foundation, about how the game of soccer has become a powerful tool for guiding young people toward greatness.

Coach-Mentor JT shares how an elementary school teacher first introduced him to the sport, and how that moment evolved into a lifelong commitment to youth development. 

He reflects on lessons in discipline, fatherhood, and consistency, and how the Foundation’s programs create lasting change by helping young people grow in academics, character, and community engagement.
