Episode 44 - Josh Werling - The Eye Doctor Who Ended St. Henry’s 19-Year Drought

Josh Werling is St. Henry through and through. He grew up there, played on the 2006 state title team, and this year came back as head coach to lead the Redskins to their first state championship since ’06 — snapping Marion Local’s legendary win streak along the way.But this isn’t just a football episode. Josh is also an optometrist at Mercer In-Sight in Celina, a small-town business owner, a husband, a dad, and a man of faith trying to juggle all of it while an entire community is watching. We talk about what it really feels like to carry that kind of weight — family, business, faith, football — and still try to come home as a present, normal human being.If you’re 25–45, trying to balance work, kids, expectations, and your own sanity, this one is for you — even if you don’t care about Cover 3. We get into pressure, doubt, leadership, time, and what this state title run can teach anyone who’s trying to build a life they’re proud of in a small town.
