James Johnson Episode 1 – My Broken Family

Coach James Johnson is the defensive line coach for the Calvert High School football team. He came from a broken family in which his parents divorced when he was 12 years old. Raised in the “hood,” he could have followed others to a life of drugs and other illicit activity on his street. However, his mother’s values prevailed along with a teacher and his police officer football coach, who were all three instrumental in his life to instill values and courage. He is passing forward his life experiences with high school students and student-athletes.
