Jeremiah E. Brown

Jeremiah Brown is a highly sought-after keynote speaker, leadership development coach, and student-athlete development specialist. He is also a former NFL athlete, using his experience to author “LEAD LIKE A CHAMPION,” a character development playbook designed to increase student and student-athlete success. The proud “Brooklynite” has dedicated his life to developing the leadership qualities in others, and has impacted thousands of lives across the country, through his programs, workshops, and keynote presentations. Jeremiah has a relentless drive that mirrors the “City that never sleeps,” as he shares encouraging messages of confidence, determination, and purpose.

Jeremiah’s journey, of teaching others how to overcome impossible odds and find their identity, began when he was forced to retire from the NFL due to a life-threatening brain injury sustained from a concussion. After leaving such a high-profile, and coveted opportunity, Jeremiah lost his confidence in being a leader and fell into a downward spiral of depression and suicidal thoughts. He dedicated himself so much to the game, that his identity was lost once doctors shared that he would never play football again. Despite his condition, Jeremiah made the life changing decision that his forced retirement from the NFL, would not be his conclusion.

It was while on this journey of discovery, combined with research & life experience, that Jeremiah developed programs and workshops designed to guide others to lead more successful and fulfilling lives. Jeremiah has expertise in providing a range of audiences with effective methods of developing a growth mindset, increasing self-awareness, and creating a new identity & focus after overcoming major challenges in life; like concussion prevention and life after sports. If your school district or organization is looking for a way to reach the next level, Jeremiah Brown “the MVP of success” is the man to talk to.
