How Miracles Are Made: The Incredible Sports Story Every Fan Should Hear
In our current society where so many are seeking results and success immediately, there are constant reminders that patience will always win out.
Combine patience with consistent action, doing the right thing and being of service for others and good ol' fashions belief....well know you have a recipe for success.
That recipe is one used by former high school basketball coach and my guest this week, coach Jim Johnson.
As the former head coach for Greece Athena High School in Rochester, New York, Coach Johnson in his early years was known more for his near misses, than championships.
His teams were consistently in the state playoffs, yet had never made it to the finals to compete for a championship.
That all changed on February 15th, 2006 when in the last 4 minutes of "senior night" for his players, Coach Johnson made a decision that would change the trajectory of his basketball program, his coaching career and life of one young man named Jason McElwain.
We all love a good sports story and there so many that offer inspiration, motivation and touch us in heart warming ways that only sports can.
This story is all of this feelings and emotions combined.
To get the maximum benefit from this podcast, I encourage you to watch the story unfold on video first. Then dive into my interview with Coach Johnson and hear how this moment unfolded and the why the outcome of his decision that had he and Jason McElwain, also known as J-Mac) on every major television outlet imaginable.

Bush, Hillary Clinton, Peyton Manning, Oprah Winfrey and countless others to meet with Coach Johnson and J-Mac, but also earned J-Mac the prized ESPY Award given out by ESPN beating out Kobe Bryant's 81 point game.
