ESPY Award-Winning Coach Talks About The Power Of Giving People A Chance To Create Their Own Miracles

Coach Jim Johnson was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. We discussed his book "A Coach And A Miracle", and how his willingness to let his autistic student manager play in a game on Senior Night resulted in worldwide acclaim. Jason McElwain played in the last 4 minutes of the game and scored a game high 20 points leading all scorers. The story eventually ended up on ESPN, and the moment won an ESPY award in 2006. Coach Johnson talked about the success principles contained in his book, including his 6 Essential Keys to making your dreams come true. We talked about the importance of having a mission and being passionate about it, as well as incorporating input from your team in goal setting, and perseverance. We also talked about the importance of collaboration and being a team player, as well as how to recognize and take advantage of opportunities when they arise.
