In this episode of Knowledgecast, host Jack Williams talks with Coach Mike Sharrieff, head football coach at Johnson Middle School in Washington, D.C.

Coach Sharrieff has built something extraordinary — The Johnson Way — a program that prioritizes academics, leadership, and life skills just as much as athletic performance. With daily study halls, a 3.5 GPA expectation, and deep community engagement, he’s cultivating young men who understand that character is the true measure of success.

This conversation dives into how structure, accountability, and mentorship can transform not only a team but an entire community.

Listen to “Coaching the Johnson Way” to discover how Coach Mike Sharrieff is developing champions in life, not just on the field.
