Summary

Twenty years after winning an Olympic bronze medal at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Games, Dave Johnson now serves as Director of Athletics at Corban University.* As Dave watches top athletes prepare for the 2012 Olympic Games in London and other world class events, Dave prepares his own Warrior athletes for their futures on and off of the fields and courts. * This is a special "1992 Olympics 20th Anniversary Edition" of Dave Johnson's acclaimed autobiography. * Aim High is Dave's personal story. About a teen with natural talent drifting into trouble and how teammates, coaches and parents saw something more. About a marriage that faced the devastating loss of a child. And about a faith that gave a focus to aim high in life, as well as on the field.* And Dave Johnson takes you trackside: the intensity, the exultation, and the focused performance in the face of injury and heartbreak.* Aim High not only captures the drama of decathlon competition, but also how a once-drifting life was brought into sharp focus by Jesus Christ.* Includes an update profile of Dave Johnson today, still aiming high!
