After serving in the military, Jason Borba returned to the mixed martial arts arena. In addition to training for matches, Jason Borba has worked as a physical trainer in West Hollywood for the last four years. Of the many pursuits the combat veteran engages in, he participates in Merging Vets with Players.
Also known as MVP, the group was designed to transition service members into civilian life after serving in the military. The group got its start after its founder realized that athletes and veterans have similar issues upon leaving sports and military service. Both have very structured lives revolving around tight schedules with little free time for themselves, and when they do return to civilian life, there is little to dictate what they should do or when they should do it. MVP helps to provide this missing structure.
While veterans are a part of the group, MVP comprises players, coaches, and mentors as well. The overall mission of the group is to create a space for people who understand what it means to overcome adversity, and members are welcomed into a family whose numbers continue to grow.
