  • Inky Johnson had dreams of one day playing in the NFL but after suffering a devastating injury during his Volunteer playing career, that dream was never fulfilled. You never know how someone will react to adversity on that level but instead of letting it discourage him, Johnson has found a new career as one of the nation’s best motivational speakers.

    I have been listening to Inky for a while now & I must say, the man is just getting better and better at his work. The messages are getting more intense and he is able to communicate them so well.
    Mr. Johnson thank you for what you do, you've changed my life and the growth has just begun.
    Thanks

    Inky, you saved my life so please read this. Just like you, I was also really close to achieving my dream, on the right path if anything. I had a horrible injury and right there when I had everything, God left me with nothing. Depression was controlling my life. I cannot explain to you how many times you helped me before, but this time you might've just saved my life. You're a true inspiration and I wish to meet you some day.❤

    This should be shown to every middle school kid and then shown several times a year for the rest of their school years. Society doesnt have the integrity it needs. This man does and understands life and what its about!!! I'm a UK fan but have always had much respect for the Vols because of how they played. It hurts me to see them last few years. But this has nothing to do with any of that, this is life and how you live it!!!! Great work!!!

    The number one Vol gives THE BEST MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES ON THE PLANET. INKY JOHNSON IS THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE FOOTBALL TEAMS SECRET WEAPON. I was at the game against Air Force the night he got injured. His family was sitting 3 rows down from us. It is the rare individual that is so internally motivated by a pure heart that he can be subjected to the life event that this young man has and NEVER quit. It just ain't in him. Thanks Inky for everything you do for Vol Football. Go Vols, Beat Bammer.

    Inky man this past Saturday I went to go see the movie “Overcomer” and as soon as I left the theater I opened CZcams and this was the first video I seen suggested to me. I couldn’t even watch and listen to the video, the title alone broke me. I cried because as a man who’s supposed to be devoted to God my actions said differently. I know u ain’t preachin, but u preachin. God bless u bruh.

    Its been well over a year ago, but I just wanted to let you know that everything I do is for you Inky. Although you lost your ability to play the sport you still fight everyday and inspire people like me. Thank you Inky, you are a big part of my journey and you will continue to be.

    Huge rolemodel, Inky. My brother was born with Erb's Palsy( Brachial Plexus injury) in his right shoulder. As much of an obstacle it can be, my brother has never let it stop him. He dominated high school soccer( averaging 3+ goals a game) and made it to play college soccer( even with no tape). He is 28 now and works on his business. He has the same mentality as you: to dominate. Keep grinding

  • @brandonkandemiiri7577
    @brandonkandemiiri7577 Před 4 lety +3

    Going through life trying to identify yourself at a young age like mine is hard.. Playing a sport which is theoratically coded for big man aint a joke... But been small and taking down those big man and standing up people thinking you broke a shoulder or something is the greatest feeling I have ever had.. My dreams are just more powerful than my fears of a career ending in injury... Listening to your videos everyday make me wanna challenge the world at everything I do.... I just focus my time now on important things than busy chasing clout in high school... Man just know that what you do and say touch a lot of hearts and you are a true reflection of God's power, wisdom and encouragement...

    Truth. Every man needs to hear it. It may stir some discomfort and thats OK. What Inky speaks is counter to what the world tells these young men. Its counter to what they have heard most of their lives. Let me tell you what Inky says is TRUTH. There is no denying it or filtering it. Moral standards that God has placed in every mans soul. For many men, they have lost there way but seeing some in this video nodding their heads, Inky is planting seeds. "Put your big boy britches on and get to work."
