Coach Andrea Johnson
I am a mom, runner, and teacher. I have a MS in Kinesiology and have been coaching runners since 2006. I have coached high school (Bishop O'Dowd, Northgate, Piedmont) and have helped many runners make it to state (individual and teams). Once I became a mom it was harder to coach, but at the age of 5 my daughter asked about running and from that came the Oakland Cubs.
​
My philosophy for youth sports and activity is to first have fun. Activitiy is somthing children need to learn to do as a part of life in order to stay fit and heathy, and if it is not fun they will not want to do it. While having fun they also learn technique and skill, and all runners have the opportunity to compete if they choose.
​
I hope to encourage the next generation of runners!
