I spent years watching teenagers walk through the gates of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Most of them had parents who loved them. They just didn't have anyone who caught the signs early enough.
That's why this channel exists.
My name is Bayonle Arashi. I'm a broadcaster, a former TDCJ corrections officer, a two-time published author, a leadership coach, and the founder of Midas Football Academy, a nonprofit in Houston.
On this channel, I help parents, coaches, educators, and mentors keep teenagers on the field and out of courtrooms.
Every week you'll find:
→ The warning signs parents miss before teenagers drift
→ Real tools for raising kids with purpose and direction
→ Leadership lessons from 24+ years in sports, broadcasting, and criminal justice
→ Honest conversations about what it takes to build a next-generation leader

I finished the Irving Marathon last month — 26.2 miles.
And the lesson I learned at mile 18 is the same lesson I teach teenagers every week.

Honored to present at BNI Southwest this morning and share the vision behind my mission, reducing the number of young people entering the incarceration system.
This work is deeply personal to me, and it’s fueled by years of experience in both the sports world and the criminal justice system. Through Midas Football Academy and our mentorship programs, we’re not just developing athletes — we’re building futures.
I’ve laid out a clear 5-year plan to scale our impact, and I’d love to connect with anyone interested in being part of this movement.
Let’s turn purpose into progress. 💪🏽
