It Starts Here
Real conversations about football, coaching, and building champions. Where the sideline meets the microphone.
Where Sport Meets Purpose
The ALPHA Podcast is hosted by Nate Garner & Jim Padgett where football, leadership, faith, and growth meet. Built on the ALPHA standard — the show features real conversations, meaningful stories, and lessons that go beyond the game. More than sports talk, it is a platform designed to challenge, develop, and inspire the next generation.
Aggressive — relentless in the pursuit of excellence.
Loyal — committed to God, team, truth, and each other.
Prepared — ready before the moment arrives.
Humble — teachable, grounded, and willing to serve.
Armored — covered by the Word of God and built to stand firm.
