EP 06-The Day I Single Handedly Delayed My Flight to Australia

March 08, 2017 by Kendall Johnson in Podcast

Am I the only one who feels like the airport causes you to be 8 times more emotional than in any other setting?  For instance, when something goes wrong at the grocery store, we are able to compose ourselves, but if that same thing happens at the airport, one of two things occur: we either burst into tears or rip somebodies head off in frustration.

Ya traveling can be stressful, but I feel like there’s gotta be something in the air that causes these emotional allergies.

On that note, I had a wildly eventful travel day, when I was heading over to Australia to play my first professional season overseas. My first leg to LA went smooth as butter, but when I was about to board my second flight, I realized I was in the wrong terminal with 15 minutes until departure.

I surprisingly didn’t cry. Instead, I turned straight beast mode, with unreal determination to make my flight. It was by far the most thrilling and sweaty, airport experience of my life.

As with all my challenges, I learned a lot, met an angel whom I am still indebted to, and it made for a great story.

Praise

“There isn’t anything Kendall does without pouring everything she has to offer into it. She cares enough to not be scared to say what you might not always want to hear. She’s already been a great mentor. She is someone I admire so much. She doesn’t make excuses and will achieve what she is after.”
— Allie Long, USWNT World Cup Champion
“Few people have positively impacted me on or off the field as much as Kendall. She has a unique ability to help elevate all of the lives she comes in contact with. Through her own pursuits, triumphs, and trials, she has accumulated a wealth of different approaches to professional and personal growth. It is impossible to spend time with her and not walk away as a better version of yourself.”
— Michelle Betos, NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year
“In the world of professional athletes, you are surrounded by self-motivated people who are all working to a varying degree of “obsessive” to push themselves as hard and far as they can physically, mentally, and psychologically go. This doesn’t even begin to describe Kendall’s approach to all aspects of life. She lets nothing slip through the cracks and has a natural ability to put her passion to practice. Anyone who sits down in a conversation with Kendall will leave smarter, challenged, and with their perspective on life considerably altered.”
— Emily Menges, NWSL Champion
“I met Kendall at a challenging time in my life, and from the start, I felt comfortable sharing those challenges with her. After I first opened up to her about it, it was easy from then on out because she always helped me see my feelings are valid; my experiences and my story are my own, and I can make them to be what I want. She helped me find the beauty in times of struggle and she somehow managed to respond to my life hurdles, and her own, with an open mind and a good laugh. She has helped me to believe life works for us, not against us, and my life has become better for that. She is an amazing teacher.”
— EJ Proctor, Duke goalkeeper
