In "The Standard Starts With You," Bodie Johnson shares a deeply personal and universally resonant story, not just as a sports memoir, but as a blueprint for generational transformation. Johnson challenges the notion that our past or our family's legacy dictates our future. He candidly recounts his own struggles, stemming from a "broken foundation" and a last name associated with hardship, to illustrate a profound truth: identity is a choice. The book serves as a powerful guide for "cycle breakers," demonstrating how to transform a reputation built on "burnt bridges" into one that signifies "The Standard." This work is more than a collection of anecdotes; it's a manual for the "invisible," offering solace and understanding to those grappling with unseen challenges like ADHD, personal loss, or the pressure of expectations. Johnson skillfully bridges the gap between performance and character, arguing that true greatness is measured not by accolades, but by integrity, compassion, and resilience in the face of life's inevitable trials. Through the recurring mantra, "The Standard Starts With You," readers are called to accountability, moving from victimhood to leadership and embracing the power to forge a legacy their future generations will be proud to inherit. It is a call to action for anyone ready to stop running from their past and start building a future defined by their own unwavering standard.
