The More You Do Something,
The More It Becomes You, And You Become It.
My story
Johnny Buc Lockwood, or Coach Johnny, is dedicated to helping people and especially young people reach their goals.
Having lived a diverse life while pursuing a variety of academic, athletic, creative and entrepreneurial challenges for the past four decades, Johnny brings a no-nonsense approach to his coaching. Johnny has learned the value and importance of pursuing his dreams, setting goals, understanding and overcoming obstacles, while maintaining vision and direction.
As a former troubled teen, Coach Johnny was assisted by a life coach and mentor who guided him from failing out of high school to achieving academic, athletic and personal success. Accepted at Andover after turning his wayward teen life around, Johnny was recruited to play varsity hockey and baseball at The University of Vermont, where he graduated with a BA in English. A few years later he became a Research Fellow at The Institute of Politics at Harvard.
Feeling restless with academia, Johnny ventured off to NYC to pursue his passions where he started a band and established a Wall Street-based wealth management business. He succeeded in both endeavours. His band signed a record contract and played in venues around the country, while his wealth management business attracted and worked with Forbes 400 clients.
The past few years, Coach Johnny has been dedicated to expanding the impact of The 42 Initiative, a 501c3 non profit that he co founded with John Branca. The mission of The 42 Initiative is to bring together young students from all ethnic and economic backgrounds to participate together in Club 42 sports, esports, music and dance programs.
