So incredibly proud of Ayla! It's been years since I've directly coached her, but seeing the remarkable young woman she's become since joining FSA as a 7th grader is truly amazing. Now in her third softball season at UIW, she's a testament to dedication. Of course, that doesn't mean she gets to skip out on speed and agility work with Coach Mercer! 🤷🏿‍♂️😂 FSA speed and agility Raptor training is back in San Antonio. Growth comes from work, and work comes with commitment.📱 DM to sign up www.coachchrismercer.com

I'm grateful for the opportunity to discuss mental health with these young men. I'm passionate about this work, believing it aligns with God's purpose for me in our community and schools. I've always dreamed of creating a mentor program that blends social-emotional learning with mental health support. Many of our kids lack the foundational guidance needed to navigate life's challenges. I look forward not only to giving back but also to learning from the kids, community, and schools. Our program has also launched an after-school gaming club to foster social connections.
