Becoming My Stronger Me
"Becoming My Stronger Me” is a podcast designed to help you become stronger in mind, body, and heart.
Season 1 - Like 47 million other Americans, I voluntarily left my successful full-time career to pursue, well, whatever was next. We’ll call this “my great resignation.” As you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m a type-A planner. So to make a life choice without some grand detailed master plan on the other side was unheard of. But now, 2 years later, it was the best decision of my life. Join me as I share my story, questions I asked myself (or wish I had), missteps I made (and how to avoid them), the effect this had on me and everyone around me, and other musings that helped me to become my stronger me.
Season 2 - The Mental Performance Series is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between mental performance, sports excellence, leadership, and personal growth. We’ll dive deep into the psychology behind peak performance in athletics, leadership roles, and everyday life. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize your mental game on the field, a leader seeking to inspire and motivate your team, or an individual striving for personal growth and success, this series provides practical tips, actionable strategies, and inspiring stories to help you unlock your full potential and become your stronger you.

Conversation with Julian "JT" Dorsey
From humble beginnings in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, Julian "JT" Dorsey turned his love for soccer into a lifelong mission to uplift and empower underserved youth. A former USL Championship professional player, JT combined his passion for the game with his background in Elementary and Special Education from Loyola University Maryland to create meaningful change in communities like the one he grew up in.
As the Founder and Executive Director of the JT Dorsey Foundation, JT is dedicated to breaking down barriers to soccer and promoting education, health, and wellness for over 1,500 children annually in Pennsylvania. In this episode of Becoming My Stronger Me, JT shares his journey—from his playing days to his transition into coaching, mentorship, and advocacy. He discusses the power of sport as a vehicle for social change and the importance of ensuring that all children, regardless of background, have access to opportunities to thrive.
We also dive into his work as Grassroots Soccer Manager for Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association and his efforts to support youth development on and off the field. Recognized for his impact with awards like the 2023 Black Soccer Coaches Local Legend Award and the 2024 EPYSA Service to Community Award, JT’s story is an inspiring example of using sport to make a difference.
