"But I think that 1 will do a good job My hopes are that nobody will be disappointed "My only consolation is that it is my first year It does take time Just like it took Ron time to develop his program, it's going to take time to develop mine " Johnson is a recent graduate of the University of Oregon in Eugene He has a bachelor's degree of science in physical education. This is Johnson's first head coaching Job on the scholastic level. Out of the high school setting, Johnson has coached a women’s soccer league and a soft ball team at the hospital he worked at during college He was an assistant coach in track and cross country at South Eugene High School Prior to coaching at Sandy, Johnson's only volleyball coaching job was at Eugene's Chur chill High School, working as an assistant "Volleyball is something I've real ly picked up in the last couple of years," he said "I really enjoy the sport, playing the sport myself 1 wanted to get as much background in it as possible "So, this is a big step even though it's been something I've been work- W arrrn Johnson ing toward for a few years " Despite the fact that he is taking on his first post-college job, which is anxiety enough, he is also working in a less-than-familiar area, is in the process of moving into his new Gresham home and was notified of his Job just 10 days prior to the open ing practice. "I look at it as kind of a negative thing," Johnson said of the quick hir ing. "Unfortunately, it adds to my anxiety i which includes I getting everything moved into my place, get ting settles! and taking care of all the other things that were going on in my life at the tune " It’s tough," he admitted, "but I'll do OK."
