TA BIO

Timothy Alexander is one of the most inspiring people you could ever hope to meet.  A native of Birmingham Alabama, Timothy attended Erwin High School and was ranked the #8 high school football player in the state. As a 5-star athlete, Timothy had the opportunity to play for any college in the country; however, he was involved in a life changing car accident in 2006, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. From that point on, Timothy would discover his new purpose in life while paralyzed. 

His incredible story is not one of tragedy, but of triumph. His drive helped him earn a Division I college football scholarship when many believed that dream was impossible due to his injiuries. 

He is a living example of his trademark quote: 

"We don’t need it to be easy, we just need it to be possible." – Timothy Alexander 

He's been featured on ESPN's College GameDay, he's won an EMMY® Award, given a TEDx talk, written a best-selling book, appeared on Netflix's Last Chance U, and spoken all over the world to tens of thousands of students, athletes and leaders. 

He has presented at conferences, to professional and intercollegiate sports teams, Middle & High schools, and events across the country on a wide array of subjects. From Overcoming Adversity, to Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention, TA shines when teaching on grit, resilience and the power of our minds to influence our attitudes and outcomes.  

    In 2022, TA and his wife, Kayla, welcomed two beautiful twins, Noelle and Noah, into the world!
