Pathway to Sports-Journey Towards Helping Underprivileged Youth
Meet Wayne Terronez
Wayne was raised by a teenage single mother in Illinois. His mother was 17 when he was born, and she dropped out of high school. Due to her limited education and job skills, he and his brother were raised on state assistance. They were in and out of three foster homes before the age of ten. Wayne knew from an early age how it felt not to afford to play sports because his family was poor. Had it not been for his aunts, uncles, and coaches paying for his registration fees and equipment, he would have been unable to play sports. Wayne often reflects on those early memories and how he felt, and he wants to help as many youth athletes as possible not feel how he did as a child. He also has overcome being a teenage father. Wayne knew the value of education and worked full time, stayed in school, and graduated high school on time at the age of 18. He joined the United States Marines Corps right after graduating high school at the age of 18. He will retire from the United States Marine Corps as a Master Gunnery Sergeant (E-9) after more than 29 years of service in January 2022.
In the podcast, he shared that as he prepared to retire, he began to look at things he wanted to do after retirement, which led to helping the community. We discuss how his goal of helping the underprivileged led to creating Pathway to Sports and that data has shown that youth are more likely to graduate high school if they participate in sports.

FETCH (Fostering Empowerment Through Canine Help)
Meet Lindsey Hardman
Lindsey is the Co-Founder of FETCH (Fostering Empowerment Through Canine Help). She has always been an avid horse and dog lover, having managed multiple farms throughout her life. Still, it wasn't until she acquired a stray dog with significant "baggage" that she discovered the near-identical similarities between people and dogs who have experienced trauma. That dog, Noah, became the catalyst for her mission in life. It wasn't long before people around her started telling her to euthanize him because he was so aggressive, but she knew that he was something special without a shadow of a doubt. This proved to be true when he later saved her life on multiple occasions through pure intuition. Years later, this led her to the mission of FETCH, and her desire and passion for educating on these parallels have become a heart calling. Lindsey is a Virginia native living in Texas, where she has resided for the last eight years. Lindsey holds a B.S. in Criminal Justice.
Meet Jennifer Baptista
Jennifer is the Secretary and Co-Founder of FETCH (Fostering Empowerment Through Canine Help). She has always had a passion and love for dogs, but this grew increasingly in 2019 when Willow, a Goldendoodle, joined the Baptista family and began training with FETCH partner Paws in Hand. What started as obedience training and hunting training quickly turned into something more when Paws in Hand saw great potential in Willow at a young age to serve the community as a certified therapy dog. Jennifer holds B.S. in Business Administration from The University of Texas at Dallas.
On the podcast, we learned the why behind FETCH.’
