High School Football program has dedicated Mental Health and Recruiting personnel. Players first

What does it take to build a football program that develops young men from middle school all the way to college? At Walton High School, head coach Daniel Burner has spent 10 years building exactly that — a program rooted in culture, community, and continuity. The foundation starts early. Walton's feeder program, the Junior Raiders, introduces student athletes to the same plays and system they'll run at the varsity level — making the transition from middle school to high school seamless. That kind of intentional development is rare, and it shows. Off the field, the program has built a support system that goes beyond wins and losses. Players have access to mental health resources and college recruiting support, freeing Coach Burner to focus on what he does best — coaching and developing young men into their best selves. The community shows up. Parents, alumni, and the greater Marietta / East Cobb area rally behind this team, creating an environment where athletes feel supported both on and off the field. Competing at the 6A level, the Raiders finished 7-6 overall, 3-3 in region — with players earning offers from D3 through D1 programs. This is more than a football team. It's a pipeline for life. 🎙️ Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with a student athlete or family in your life About TAP Podcast A show about the ever-changing world of youth sports, through the experience of the community that supports our student athletes.
