WELCOME TO SEASON 2 OF THE PODCAST!

And we are starting with a great one. It’s no secret that I’m skeptical about people who put ‘Coach’ as their job title. Honestly, I think most of them are snake-oil salesmen and saleswomen. Well, Coach Johnson is not one of them and he sets the bar for a life-changing coach. Coach is a 10 year veteran teacher/Athletic Director that looks to build students sense of self and foster strong communication between parents and their children. A masters graduate from Sarah Lawrence College, he developed his love for block building and works with other teachers and schools to incorporate block building into their classroom programming. He is a Husband, a father, a coach and the host of Our Village Stories: Parenting through Passion and Grit.

On this interview we spoke about:

His experience as a student athlete
What sports can teach you about life
The coach that set him on this path
How opportunities come to those who do good work
How you know you succeeded as a Coach
