About The Coach
Meet Coach Johnson
I'm a former Collegiate Head Cross Country & Track & Field Coach, an NCAA Division III Indoor National Champion (200m), and a 6× NCAA All-American.
My journey as both an athlete and a coach taught me that success is built through consistency, discipline, perseverance, and trusting the process. I wouldn't be where I am today without the coaches, mentors, teammates, and people who invested their time and knowledge into helping me grow.
Because of those experiences, I feel a responsibility to give that same knowledge, mentorship, and encouragement back to today's athletes. JJ Speed Factory exists to help athletes become not only faster and more explosive, but also more confident, disciplined, resilient, and prepared for success both in sports and in life.
I want every athlete who trains with me to leave with more than improved speed — I want them to build habits, confidence, and character that benefit them long after their athletic careers are over.
My mission is simple: to help every athlete unlock their full potential through intentional coaching, proven training methods, and genuine mentorship — passing forward the same opportunities, knowledge, and guidance that helped shape my own journey.
