Coach Jim Johnson is a retired high school basketball coach with more than 30 years of experience and 428 career wins. Throughout his career, he became known for transforming struggling programs into championship teams through servant leadership, culture, and character development.
He gained international recognition in 2006 for one of the most inspiring moments in sports history when he gave his autistic team manager, Jason “J-Mac” McElwain, the chance to play in a game—resulting in J-Mac scoring 20 points in just four minutes. That unforgettable act of leadership and compassion became a viral story featured on ESPN, CNN, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Today, Coach Johnson is a Hall of Fame-level motivational speaker, leadership consultant, and author of the best-selling book A Coach and a Miracle: Life Lessons from a Man Who Believed in an Autistic Boy. He travels the country sharing lessons on teamwork, servant leadership, and the power of believing in others.
