MEET ALEX
I'm Alex Green—a former NFL running back, TEDx speaker, father, author, mentor, and motivational speaker from Portland, Oregon.
My path took me from Butte College and the University of Hawai‘i to the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets. But my story goes beyond football. Navigating dyslexia, adversity, and life after the game taught me that the next chapter is shaped by the choices we make today.
Serving over 100 schools nationwide, Alex brings a message of purpose, resilience, and possibility to students, teams, and organizations—reminding every audience that their circumstances do not have to be the end of their story.
A message of possibility for the next generation.
