Coach Jim Johnson rose into the national spotlight back in 2006 when he allowed Jason "J-Mac" McElwain, a young high school basketball student-manager on the autism spectrum, to suit up and get in the game. What happened next is the stuff of legend. Today, Coach Johnson is a nationally recognized expert on teamwork and leadership, a sought after motivational speaker and author of the book, "A Coach and a Miracle." In this episode, Coach Johnson shares leadership gems that apply far beyond any high school basketball court - about mentorship, teaching, teamwork and more. As his motto reads, "Think bigger, lead better, win more!"
