Coach Johnson of Princeton Visits With Jays


The Liberty Basketball Program were fortunate guests of Princeton Head Coach Sydney Johnson on Monday afternoon. Coach Johnson, in town to visit future signee and current Blue Jay senior Denton Koon, attended a workout and spoke to the team.

As the only three year captain in the history of Princeton basketball, he obviously addressed leadership skills. Coach Johnson’s belief in ‘Interactive Leadership’ involves every member of the program/team being locked into the goals and purposes of the team. This requires effective communication from the youngest players on the team, to veterans, to captains and other leaders. This also channels in the opposite direction.

In addition, Coach Johnson spoke to a level of energy, that if high enough, will result in a return of performance tenfold by those surrounding you which would include teammates and coaches.
