JD Kinimaka is a successful father of six wonderful children. Four girls and two boys that have all been successful not only in sports, but in life. JD was born in Kauai, Hawaii and raised in Manhattan Beach, California. JD’s whole life was centered around sports since the day he could basically walk. He had been groomed by his father, Joseph, to be a football player. JD always knew that he would play professional football and his whole life revolved around that goal. He received a full ride football scholarship to a University in Kansas. This, however, was his first experience with adversity.

With the birth of his
first child, his whole focus changed in life to raising successful happy kids. He threw himself in to putting them through sports, coaching their teams and coaching high school football as an assistant defensive coach. It was at the high school that JD shared some of the “winning strategies” that you will read in this book that he not only instilled in his own children, but also some of his high school football players that eventually went on to play in the NFL.
