SPEAKER | AUTHOR | MENTOR
Jay Barnett joined Inside Fitness 360 as a sought after youth leadership and mental well-being mentor. After his time in the NFL, Jay has made it his mission to lead and guide today's youth through group programs and curriculum while providing encouragement, tools, resources and the support needed to begin the journey of evolving into the young men and women they desire to be.
With over 10 years of highly skilled and acclaimed mentoring and success stories, public speaking, business experience and most importantly, real-life, his view is radically different. Jay appreciates and shares with his mentees that leadership is a moment to moment choice and not about title and position. Leadership is for everyone - it's a choice and it's how we should live our lives.
Also, as a leader in the community, Jay serves as the senior consultant and Master Teen Mentor with his Sugarland, Texas based organizations: The Me Project and The We Project which serves at risk teens, ages 13-18. Working with Jay, teens developed self-esteem, self-worth, value for their bodies and strong mindsets.

Licensed Professional Counselor
Connor Leardini, MA, LPC
My name is Connor Gianni Leardini, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I recently graduated from Liberty University on the Dean's List with a Master's in Professional Counseling. Prior to this, I was enlisted in the United States Air Force and worked along with the Special Forces as a technician. During that time, I was able to accomplish getting dual certified as a physical trainer and theologically integrated/CACREP-accredited Bachelor's of Science, along with a CCAF degree through the official college of the Air Force.
I have worked with a myriad of age groups and issues in relation to both therapy and physical training. I am a firm believer in behaviorism through numerous types of training (CBT, REBT, etc.), many of which I am experienced and comfortable with utilizing.
Due to my theological and chaplaincy training/background, I am also comfortable with discussion regarding spirituality. Furthermore, I enjoy working with children and young adults, I also have experience working with troubled youth involved with the state. I am very laid back and thoroughly enjoy the art of therapy from a holistic viewpoint.
