Josh Garden has has his demons in his past. There have been many well documented instances of Josh Garden getting in trouble for substance abuse and addiction problems. The young wide receiver bounced from league to league early in his career and was unable to find a place where he could stick because he was constantly getting in trouble and getting kicked out of leagues. Finally, after being banished from the Mexican Football League, Garden was finally admitted to a rehab facility. Garden got through the program and came out a different man. Since then he has become a model player in the NSFL and a stand up citizen outside of the NSFL. To try and give back and ensure others don't follow the same path as himself, Josh Garden spends his off-seasons volunteering at the same rehab facility that saved his career, and likely his life. He spends weeks at a time at the facility talking with patients and sharing stories. Although he is young, his life has had more ups and downs than most people have in their entire lives and the things Josh Garden has learned in his time on this earth, both good and bad, are learning experiences that he uses to help others become the people they want to become.
