Good Morning Nashville! ☀️
We are officially in a NEW SEASON of Black Men Vent Too and we want to thank our audience for sticking it out with us thus far . Leaving our season titled “Election Education”, we have now entered our new season for the new month that we’ve titled “Coaching & Mentorship”. The goal of this season mirrors every other season we’ve done before . We will bring on guests during this month to vent about their experience on the topic . Whether they be coaches , former or current players/athletes , or even life coaches , we want to provide these black men with a platform to vent about their experience either being or having been coached and mentored throughout their livelihood . Today , we kickoff our new season with Nashville native and coach Mr. Jocquise Upton.
“Coach Joc” was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, attending both Hillsboro High School as well as Pope John Paul II Preparatory School . At JPII (2010-2013) , he played both wide receiver and defensive back . Continuing through his football career , his 4.43 40’ yard dash led him to Bethel University where he played as a wideout from 2014-2017. Realizing his passion was more for the sideline than actually on the field , he began his coaching career at his alma mater Hillsboro high school thanks to the mentorship of Coach Fitzgerald . Coach Upton went on to coach at Houston Baptist University , TCU , and currently serves as the RB analyst/coach for the University of Ole Miss . Mr. Upton was a stout talent himself , but comes to our show to vent about the joy it brings him to pour into the generation ahead . He talks about key mentors in his life being Coach Fitzgerald , his dad Jimmy Upton , and his beloved grandfather who he shares raised him . Take some time to hear Coach Joc vent and tell us his story today on the Black Men Vent Too Podcast .
