Lawrence Boogie Johnson, also known as the Hurdle Mechanic, talks with us about his career, not only as a coach but also as an athlete at the University of Arkansas where he ran the 400m for the Razorbacks. He went on to have one of the greatest coaching careers in history, working with athletes from Queen Harrison-Claye and Brianna Rollins McNeal, to Dalilah Muhammad and Gianna Woodruff. In addition to hurdles, he works with sprinters such as Bryce Deadmon and Brittany Brown.
In our conversation, Coach Johnson discusses his time at Arkansas, his role models growing up as well as provides insight on how athletes could prepare themselves for life after track.
