Our Coaches

 

Johnnie Morgan -  Co-Founder

 

“Johnnie understands the mindset of a child and appeals to their inner strength and capacity to learn, have fun, and excel.”

 Coach Johnnie graduated from Cal State Long Beach with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Engineering Management. He is an Ex-U.S. Navy Seabee, a married father of 3, and is an active and respected community leader. Johnnie has spent past 20 years coaching, training, and mentoring the children in our community. He is still a Sunday School Teacher at American Martyrs Church in Manhattan Beach, CA for past 16 years. He loves motivating our youth to understand and feel comfortable with themselves, and getting past self-imposed limits and fears. He strongly believes in developing a child’s self-esteem, and stretching their ability to “train their brain.” His goal is to get kids to embrace their abilities, improve, and to use their minds (and bodies) to boost their physical performance. Coach Johnnie believes regular exercise and being a fit student-athlete, are all part of the same movement in being “on your game” and in order to enjoy sports and the beauty of competition for life. 

As a community leader, Johnnie also helps local non-profit groups raise funds and manage replacement of their worn-out athletic fields and sports facility needs. He uses his business expertise in contract management and leadership in helping others accomplish what many had thought previously not unachievable. He has managed the replacement of Mira Costa High School Athletic Field, Palos Verdes High School Athletic Field, and currently 1st Lutheran Church of Torrance Athletic Field. He is past Mira Costa HS Football Booster President and also co-owner of the South Bay Skulls, a local non-profit semi-pro “developmental” football team for young adult men.  Johnnie grew up playing team sports in his youth, enjoying baseball with his brothers, as well as basketball, volleyball, backpacking, running, and was a 4 year high school football player & Letterman for Saint Monica High School in Santa Monica, CA.
