“Kent Johnston is not only a dear friend but an expert in his field which is strength and conditioning, injury prevention, return to play rehabilitation and sport and or position specific training which basically means you wouldn’t train a lineman the same as a wide receiver. I can say this from experience as well as speaking for all my teammates that played under Kent….you will not find a more passionate, high character person who has a wealth of knowledge anywhere in the field than Kent. “
