“In life both on and off the field I believe that respect is one of the most important things that we can give and receive. I believe that the Golden Rule, which states “So always treat others as you would like them to treat you” best sums up how I was raised and how I strive to act each and every day. The Act with Respect Always program is a great tool for our young people to implement in their lives. Coach Johns’ message can and should be implemented in every walk of life.
