"Chris Garcia is the exception when it comes to integrity and follow-through. Over more than five years of working together in youth leadership and mentorship, he has consistently shown up, honored his commitments, and led with heart. His ability to influence people—especially young men and women—comes from lived experience, not theory. I have seen him change lives both on and off the mats."
