"I Just Wanted to Coach Football" (pt 1)
Today we speak with Jason Cedeno, also known as Coach Jay. He's been affiliated with YALD since the beginning. He talks to us about his impression of the program when first joined. According to Jason, he thought that the program was going to be "one and done." However, up witnessing the dedication of those around him and experiencing an unexpected level of fun, Jason has been a staple with the program ever since.
