This has recently become a day in age where there is seemingly less and less for Chicagoland youth to be involved in to avoid being caught in the madness that lies present within Chicago streets. Many on a worldwide stage have heard of the violence that plagues Chicago’s youth on a daily basis so it is truly refreshing to find individuals with a genuine concern to find alternate solutions instead of the same dead end that many children feel that they are destined to be involved in.
Jeff Hunt and John Singleton have come together to form the J.J.Y.A youth pro camp, which meshes both football as well as track & field events. Along with the two men Jay was able to speak with Formed Chicago Bear Tight End Desmond Clark, who talks why he got involved with the cause and how violence has affected him as well.
We talk about how track & field is used more in football then people tend to give credit for.
The J.J.Y.A Football And Track & Field All-Star youth Pro Camp is happening Sunday April 7th at North Central College in Naperville,IL
