Sports Motivation

When you think of sports motivation you might ask yourself, “How is a guy in a wheelchair going to fire up my team?” Because Johnnie has spent his life in a wheelchair, he clearly understands the drive it takes to play competitive sports. Johnnie has been a sports fanatic his entire life and yes he has even had the opportunity to play in several games.

From playing football with braces on his legs, to running an 18-minute mile on crutches, and completing the 6.2 mile run around Reeds Lake in Grand Raids, MI, teams across the country will benefit from hearing Johnnie's motivation.

Johnnie has taken his life’s stories and his love of sports and wrapped them into a powerful presentation that can fire up and motivate any team. Johnnie has spoken for numerous NCAA teams in both Divisions I & II. Many of these teams have gone on to championship seasons. Coincidence? Johnnie likes to think so.

"At the time of Johnnie’s presentation we were 5-6 and struggling to perform. Having Johnnie speak to our kids was great. The result was an incredible run to end our season and a bid to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament! I believe the turning point of our season came out of Johnnie’s motivation."
