“He helped me see that no matter how hard life gets, you can’t let bad influences get the best of you.”
          ~High School Junior

“He was an exceptional speaker. He spoke to us about how to ‘fight the right way.’ Avery Johnson was very avid about the phrase ‘failure is not final.’ I enjoyed his speech.”
          ~Student

“Coach Johnson delivered a very vital message Failure is not Final. He was engaging and honest using himself as a real life example. At the very outset he got the student’s attention with his brief video. The student audience responded well to some of the questions and observations coach Johnson posed. His presentation was very befitting to our unique student population.”
          ~Oliver Burbidge, Jr., M.Ed. Principal Excel Academy-JJC

“Our school truly enjoyed the visit from Avery Johnson. He impacted the students as much as he motivated the teachers. It was great that he was honest and discussed his struggles in college and that it only takes one person to believe in you, and your destiny WILL change!”
