Facing ALS with Resilience: Johnny Rodriguez's Inspiring Journey

I'm Dying to Tell You

Imagine facing a life-changing ALS diagnosis and tackling it with resilience and positivity. That’s what Johnny Rodriguez, a 35-year-old high school lacrosse coach, husband, and father, has done. Johnny’s story is one of inspiration, determination, and the power of community. From playing lacrosse in Hawaii to mentoring athletes at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, he pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with ALS.
Johnny’s support network and the lacrosse community have been vital in fueling his fight. As a coach, he not only develops athletes but also teaches life skills and resilience. With a holistic approach to managing ALS—including ice baths, meditation, and advocacy through Athletes vs ALS—Johnny exemplifies hope, unity, and perseverance. His journey reminds us of the strength in community and the relentless pursuit of life’s possibilities. Listen in and share with a friend. Hugs, Lorri
