Derrick Johnson is the youngest international coach in the history of USA Weightlifting. Along with being a Team USA team member (Sr. Worlds, Jr. Worlds, and University Worlds) and USA Weightlifting’s Developmental Coach of the Year, Derrick is the only coach in the world to have 3 Sr. World team members from 3 different countries (Brazil, Canada, and the US). Derrick has also coached a lifter to the 2012 Olympics (represented Brazil) and is the youngest level 5 coach in USAW history. Derrick also became the first African American to be named head coach of an international team for USA Weightlifting. In this episode Derrick and Lindsey discuss the lack of representation for black and latino athletes in sports such as weightlifting, cycling, swimming and why it relates back to slavery, Jim Crow laws, FDR's New Deal, and more. We can only hope that after listening to this episode your heart is opened and you donate to The Kings of Weightlifing.
