"Finals week of the year I aged out I had a panic attack during my I&E solo. I just couldn't deal with the stress and anxiety that had built up in my life to that point. I carried a heavy burden mentally and my brain decided it was just too much to handle in that moment. Fast forward a couple decades to WGI Finals retreat 2019. As the scores were being announced, I looked out on the floor and realized there were so many former students marching BCP, Pulse, RCC, Rhythm X, POW and DSP - all having realized goals that were just dreams for them not that long ago. This was possible, in part, because I'd helped a lot of them deal with the mental barriers that stood directly in the way of their progress and getting what they wanted out of this activity; helping them develop tools I wish I had when I was in their shoes."⁠ ⠀⁠ #MVDMeetTheMembers⁠ ⠀⁠ George Collins⁠ bdsnare⁠ MVD Staff/Consultant⁠ Blue Devils.
