I have been listening to Inky for a while now & I must say, the man is just getting better and better at his work. The messages are getting more intense and he is able to communicate them so well. Mr. Johnson thank you for what you do, you've changed my life and the growth has just begun. Thanks
Inky, you saved my life so please read this. Just like you, I was also really close to achieving my dream, on the right path if anything. I had a horrible injury and right there when I had everything, God left me with nothing. Depression was controlling my life. I cannot explain to you how many times you helped me before, but this time you might've just saved my life. You're a true inspiration and I wish to meet you some day.❤
I listen to u everyday before school !!! I’m a sophomore in high school and u push me to give everything I got on cheer , track and dance I appreciate u 💯
This should be shown to every middle school kid and then shown several times a year for the rest of their school years. Society doesnt have the integrity it needs. This man does and understands life and what its about!!! I'm a UK fan but have always had much respect for the Vols because of how they played. It hurts me to see them last few years. But this has nothing to do with any of that, this is life and how you live it!!!! Great work!!!
Man this is so powerful. I swear me and him have similar stories and everytime I watch him speak, it just reminds me that God has called me in a position to speak and spread positivity in this world just like him. Thank you Ink, I truly look up to u💯💯
The number one Vol gives THE BEST MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES ON THE PLANET. INKY JOHNSON IS THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE FOOTBALL TEAMS SECRET WEAPON. I was at the game against Air Force the night he got injured. His family was sitting 3 rows down from us. It is the rare individual that is so internally motivated by a pure heart that he can be subjected to the life event that this young man has and NEVER quit. It just ain't in him. Thanks Inky for everything you do for Vol Football. Go Vols, Beat Bammer.
Huge rolemodel, Inky. My brother was born with Erb's Palsy( Brachial Plexus injury) in his right shoulder. As much of an obstacle it can be, my brother has never let it stop him. He dominated high school soccer( averaging 3+ goals a game) and made it to play college soccer( even with no tape). He is 28 now and works on his business. He has the same mentality as you: to dominate. Keep grinding
I feel bad not knowing you had your own TH-cam page, Inky! Thank you for everything you do every single day. Your message has changed my life and my whole outlook of it!!! Thank you and God bless!!!
this young man gives us ALL a much needed insight to life...everything this young man brings to each speech he gives is honesty....true...he is the real deal....listen closely to this young mans story of what has brought him to where he is in life...GOD is using this young man to change the world....love #29 always....let your light shine inky johnson!
Inky man this past Saturday I went to go see the movie “Overcomer” and as soon as I left the theater I opened TH-cam and this was the first video I seen suggested to me. I couldn’t even watch and listen to the video, the title alone broke me. I cried because as a man who’s supposed to be devoted to God my actions said differently. I know u ain’t preachin, but u preachin. God bless u bruh.
I love hearing him speak. It's real with depth. Some of these lessons I wished I learned at an early age. But I guess that what we mean when we say the process!
Im not even mad at the 25 that thumbed down the video. They needed that conviction. That means you are stirring them up and they dont even realize just how much. God bless you Inky. My family and I listen to you every morning.
Its been well over a year ago, but I just wanted to let you know that everything I do is for you Inky. Although you lost your ability to play the sport you still fight everyday and inspire people like me. Thank you Inky, you are a big part of my journey and you will continue to be. "We gon scrap, we gon fight, and we gon live to fight another day".
9:55 I feel this. I got injured senior year of high school and got told I couldn’t play football again. 12 years of playing and I still think even tho I bled and left my soul on the field I could’ve given more.
Ink out of everyone that has inspiring me over the years its your story and how you can bounce back. Man i spent the better part of my life incarcerated and to fully live out here and keep giving until I am empty to the crusing point is nothing short of an amazing process.. Thank you..
Inky you have a God-given gift that allows you to connect to people’s souls! And it’s felt every single time I hear you speak! Keep blessing the world my Brother.
Going through life trying to identify yourself at a young age like mine is hard.. Playing a sport which is theoratically coded for big man aint a joke... But been small and taking down those big man and standing up people thinking you broke a shoulder or something is the greatest feeling I have ever had.. My dreams are just more powerful than my fears of a career ending in injury... Listening to your videos everyday make me wanna challenge the world at everything I do.... I just focus my time now on important things than busy chasing clout in high school... Man just know that what you do and say touch a lot of hearts and you are a true reflection of God's power, wisdom and encouragement...
Going through a really tough time damaging nerves and tendons not being able to move fingers in my hand going into emergency surgery tomorrow. God bless you ink you're story is phenomenal. Much love. Knowing God will get me through this.
This is so awesome. “Can you be committed to the process of what you’re doing, without being emotionally attached to the results of what you’re doing? Awesome!
I started listening to you like a month ago. I have been watching lots of your videos. I play football and you have inspired me to work harder than I had been and always give it my all. I really see now how easily the game could be ripped away from me and I always try to give it my all every day now so I don't regret anything. Your talks are great!
Inky man i am a man of the good Lord but ill be honest i lost my way but i found ur videos an i try to listen to them every day but ur videos inspired me an mayed me remember who i was keep it up man God Bless u and your family
The last 20 seconds to me made the whole video!!! It's a blessing to play football but it's a privilege to play it at the University of Tennessee......wow!!!!!
Ink, thank you my man. You are helping me get through tough times and showing me and inspiring me to live life in a more positive and impactful way. Because of that my kids will live their lives better than I have from an earlier age and that's the greatest gift I can give them. Thanks for what you do, you are a true inspiration. Keep up the good work brother!
This is a powerful msg ..inky.really set the standard..it does matter what team he standing in front of that was powerful..just alot sweeter comming from a vfl
Wow. So powerful 💙🤘🏻🙌 Ink, thank you so much for your talks and messages. You’ve helped so many! Much love, from James in Liverpool, England 🏴 ☺️🥰🙌
I am so grateful for this speech. Feeling down, then praying, after that went to youtube to find anything that can help me overcome this heavy emotion. I come across this. Thank you Inky!
Inky spits straight facts and squares up with people verbally. He still asking, "You not going to quit are you? You not waving the White Flag are you?" Thank you Inky
Truth. Every man needs to hear it. It may stir some discomfort and thats OK. What Inky speaks is counter to what the world tells these young men. Its counter to what they have heard most of their lives. Let me tell you what Inky says is TRUTH. There is no denying it or filtering it. Moral standards that God has placed in every mans soul. For many men, they have lost there way but seeing some in this video nodding their heads, Inky is planting seeds. "Put your big boy britches on and get to work."
"and the work ethic and the discipline and the dedication and the commitment wasn't based upon or predicated upon situations or circumstances... I'm talking CONCRETE COMMITMENT"
thank you for such a great message. your work goes beyond football for these young men. those in your life are blessed to have you and we are greatful you gave your all to TN!
Im commenting a 2nd time but u changed my life. I went from attempting suicide almost exactly a year ago today to being an absolute savage finding blessings in what i do each and every day. I try to watch at least one of ur videos before i go to bed and once before i start my day to remember to stay humble but keep the dog deep down. I appreciate u bro god bless
I enjoyed this so very much. I think every word you said is applicable to the human condition. Don't let the politics get in the way of your passion and don't forget why you started in the first place. Words of wisdom, good sir! Thank you for the reminder of how blessed we are as human beings daily and to give each day our best....not just as whatever position/title we hold, but more importantly, as human beings. Thank you for sharing such a great perspective! I wish you nothing but the best and will continue to follow your journey here! God Bless You!
One of my favorite players ever to walk on the field. My favorite player ever to represent UT off the field. You can’t listen to him speak and not be inspired to be a better person. Continued blessing & GBO!
" can you be committed to the process , without being emotionally attached to the result. "
Major key.
Legit
This is the point that stuck out to me also.
...deep...🙏💯🔝
5 am before work, Inky speech gonna assist me through the day. Thanks
Man this guy is on a completely different level than everyone else and I love it
I have been listening to Inky for a while now & I must say, the man is just getting better and better at his work. The messages are getting more intense and he is able to communicate them so well.
Mr. Johnson thank you for what you do, you've changed my life and the growth has just begun.
Thanks
Nailed this Frank!!
I don’t even listen to music while I workout now I listen to this man right here (Inky) 💪🏽
If that doesn't inspire you and make you want to give everything you've got to whatever you're doing, I don't know what will!
Inky, you saved my life so please read this. Just like you, I was also really close to achieving my dream, on the right path if anything. I had a horrible injury and right there when I had everything, God left me with nothing. Depression was controlling my life.

Hey Cue, I dont know if you will see this in time but, my company will have Inky Johnson speaking next week Jan 6,7,and 8th 2020.
“ God don’t make no mistakes, we do “ , remember that inky! ☝🏾🙏🏽

Every college in the nation needs to hire this man.
I'll never forget Air Force 06. Inky gave everything for Tennessee.

One of the greatest, most touching speeches I’ve ever heard. Go Vols!
I love the lens you view life Inky! Thanks for publishing the full video.
Was at my lowest, had no hope . Now I’m rebuilding entirely.
He was a great football player...but he was born to speak. He’s got a gift and it’s a blessing to listen to him. Love Inky!
Awesome message!!
