Sometimes, all it takes is a handshake to set someone on the right path.
That was the case for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who shared a story about the high school football coach who helped turn his life around during an appearance on "LIVE with Kelly" on Friday morning.
As Johnson recalled, he snuck into the teachers' bathroom because he didn't want to use the boys' facilities at his school. The coach, Jodi Swick, caught him and ordered him to leave.
Johnson felt bad and approached Swick the next day to apologize. They shook hands, Swick asked Johnson to play football for him, and Johnson accepted.
