A Father’s Greatest Win: Jimmy Johnson on Supporting His Son’s Mission
In this personal segment from Good Morning America, legendary coach Jimmy Johnson sits down with Michael Strahan to discuss the most important victory of his life: his son Chad’s recovery and the life-saving mission of Tranquil Shores.
Jimmy speaks candidly about his family featured in his book, reflecting on the sleepless nights and the helplessness he felt while Chad struggled with alcoholism. Today, that struggle has been transformed into a legacy of healing. Through Tranquil Shores, Chad is helping families find the same restoration the Johnsons found—proving that no matter how far off track someone seems, a second chance is always possible.
