PUSH: BREAKING THROUGH THE BARRIERS

Johnny Quinn was cut three times, lost $2.6 million dollars in NFL contracts and blew out his knee. Then he became an Olympian for the United States of America. From an NFL failure to a U.S. Olympian, Johnny’s “what’s next” attitude led him to success he never imagined. Johnny’s book equips us to embrace change, accept risk and learn to PUSH Through the Barriers, to live life on purpose.

​

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase Johnny's book and have it signed by the author at the Van Line Summit & Awards Gala.
