📍 THSCA 2025 | San Antonio, TX
This past Sunday was a special day. Grateful for the chance to connect with coaches from across Texas who care deeply about their athletes’ mental health and personal growth. The energy, commitment, and curiosity in every conversation was clear. Sports in this state are a community, and it’s full of people who want to do community better.

At Guyton Counseling Services, we’re building out athletics-informed therapy and brief, responsive care to meet the real-time needs of athletes, coaches, and their families. Whether it’s managing performance pressure, processing injury, or navigating transitions, we’re here to serve.

If we met Sunday, I’m glad we did. If we missed you, reach out. Let’s keep the conversation going.

We’re honored to announce our Guest Speaker for Game Plan: Tackling Substance Abuse Together on August 17 at Magnolia High School. Jason Phillips will share his powerful personal journey with substance abuse and the lessons he learned as an athlete, beginning in Waller Texas, that helped him build a strong and lasting recovery. You won't want to miss this!!!

Jason Phillips is a former NFL linebacker, two-time All-American, and TCU Hall of Fame inductee whose achievements on the field were matched by the adversity he overcame off it. Starting in 2005 at TCU and ending after his 5th NFL season in 2014, Jason endured 11 surgeries and countless injuries across a relentless football journey that took him through Baltimore, Carolina, and Philadelphia. The physical toll led to chronic pain, mental health battles, and a struggle with opioid addiction, all while trying to uphold the identity and expectations of being an elite athlete.

Rather than let those challenges define him, Jason turned his pain into purpose. While working as a business development rep for a sporting goods company, he began speaking at high schools, delivering raw, relatable talks on discipline, resilience, and self-leadership. What started as a message for football players evolved into a mindset coaching movement known as Be M.A.D.E.—My Attitude Determines Everything. His talks grew into a framework embraced by entire athletic departments, coaches, youth leagues, and even parents.

His philosophy centers around what he calls Zero Talent Characteristics (ZTCs): effort, accountability, attitude, sacrifice, and the courage to rebuild. These traits not only fueled his rise in football, but they also became the foundation of his recovery from addiction. Every. Damn. Day.

🎧 New Episode — Life After Sports on Mosaics’ Hope Pieced Together podcast.

What if your greatest strength as an athlete wasn’t physical—but your capacity to rebuild when the game ends?

In this episode, Nate joins the Mosaics’ team to unpack what many athletes wrestle with behind the scenes:

✅The grief of leaving the game—whether by choice or circumstance.
✅The mental health cost of staying strong for too long.
✅The process of reimagining identity beyond performance.

Nate shares how a solution-focused, athletics-informed, and trauma-responsive lens shapes his work with athletes. He and Mosaics also unpack the subtle but powerful difference between hope, expectation, and possibility—and why that nuance shapes the way we heal.

If you’ve ever asked, “Who am I without the title?”—this one’s for you.

📱 Available now wherever you stream podcasts.
