EP 23- The Day I Lost my Most Prized Possession

April 20, 2017 by Kendall Johnson in Podcast

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, the Portland Trail Blazers are my favorite sports team. Ever since I was little, my two brothers and I would paint our faces, makes signs, and cheer our hearts out at games. I got so obsessed that I created a shrine of Blazers newspaper clippings in my bedroom. As a teenager, I was convinced that I was going to marry an NBA player. I’m not so sure that’s what I want now, but I’m never one to close any doors. My point is, I’ve been a fan my entire life. And on today’s episode, I have a story regarding that. Back in high school, my neighbor asked my younger brother Brett to help out with a garage sale. When the day came, Brett decided he couldn’t make it. So, me being the generous sister that I am, filled in for him. Best karma moment of my life. While there, I ruffled through the bins they were selling, and came across a gold mine: a retro, throwback, one-of-a-kind, Blazer crew neck sweatshirt. It smelled like my grandma’s musty old basement, but that just added to its vintage value…..My story today still hit’s a tender spot. It’s the day I lost this most prized possession.  I still have faith that one day we will be reunited

Do Not Cross Damian Lillard

January 11, 2016 by Kendall Johnson in Tips & Tools

Damian Lillard went absolutely mental in the Blazer’s last game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He scored  17 points in the final three minutes , leading  his team to a 115-110 come-from-behind victory. Lillard has come up clutch so many times that when the game is on the line,  Portland now points to their wrist and calls the closing minutes “Lillard time”  How does he consistently come up big? Through training with a  “yellow tape mentality.”  This is one of my favorite articles on the importance of always training with a relentless, confident game-like mentality.
