About Merging Vets and Players
Merging Vets and Players (MVP) was created in 2015 by Jay Glazer (NFL Insider/Analyst) and Nate Boyer (Army Green Beret/NFL Alumni) to address the similar challenges combat veterans and former pro athletes face when the uniform comes off. Through weekly sessions consisting of fitness and peer-to-peer support, MVP is a community that allows members to lean on one another while navigating the labyrinth of transition, creating a new team of accountability and trust. The sessions consist of a 30 - 45 minute workout followed by The Huddle, an hour of peer-on-peer support to remind each other of their strength, even when it doesn’t seem clear. This is where members share their challenges in transition and offer each other support, resources, and connection. MVP coaches our vets and athletes to be PROUD OF THEIR SCARS and use what they experienced on the battlefield, playing field, and cage to EMPOWER them through the transition. We don’t run from mental health challenges; we tackle them as a team.
MVP currently operates seven in-person chapters (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Seattle, Dallas) and two virtual options. Since 2015, our program has reached over 2,000 combat veterans and former professional athletes and averages over 10,000 hours of programming per year. MVP has positively impacted its members physically, emotionally, and mentally, with members achieving milestones in their path to healing, including weight loss, transition from homelessness, mental health, careers, and among other successes.
