Jake Shockley met Coach Wartes in Abilene, TX in March 2026. Over dinner the two leaders discussed the possibility of this north Texas event. Shockley requested the same elements of faith and leadership be incorporated into the Sherman AIO event. The ideal partner, Shockley’s core values, align perfectly with AIO. ‘At Shockley we want to Know you, Care for you, Educate you (as risk advisers) and ultimately Serve you by protecting what you have that is worth protecting’.
“We decided to present the North Texas Air It Out Passing Camp to give back to the Texas region that has done so much our family. It’s the right thing to do; I knew it the moment I met Coach Wartes”. – Jake Shockley
About the AIO Camp: Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Abilene, TX AIO has developed some of the most talented and successful quarterbacks and receivers across our nation (High School, College & the NFL). AIO Passing Camp is a Texas legend known for consistently producing elite talent. The AIO experience is like no other! Using football as a Leadership Laboratory, AIO develops players of character, influence and faith who win on the football field and more importantly in life. There will be plenty of physical reps for each player. What separates AIO from the others are the off-the-field training sessions, testimonials and built-in character reps’ (including non-verbal body language training and a handwritten thank you note).
