Athletes, Sports Teams, Coaches, & Athletic Directors

Dr. Adolph “Doc” Brown III is a beacon in the sports world as an athlete, one of the Top Athlete Speakers, and Best Student-Athlete Speaker. His passion is as diverse as the sports he loves—from bull riding to Formula One.

For young Adolph, athletics became the lifeline he so desperately needed, emerging from the challenges of life in the inner city housing projects. Raised by a devoted single mother and grappling with the heartache of losing his oldest sibling and only brother, Oscar, he found solace in sports participation. With his farmer grandfather's loving encouragement, Adolph turned his pain into purpose, proving that resilience can blossom even in the toughest of circumstances. As a first-generation college student, today Adolph continues to make strides.

Before his acclaim as a clinical psychologist, television talkshow host, tenured full professor, esteemed coach, humorist, author, and keynote speaker for athletes, sports teams, coaches, and athletic directors, Doc Brown was an extraordinary athlete. He earned his place in the high school and collegiate pole vaulting record books as well as in the Black Belt Hall of Fame as a Martial Artist. His experience in track & field, wrestling, baseball, and martial arts adds depth to his teachings and sports consultations. Doc Brown attributes much of his success to being a student athlete and the mentoring of his coaches - Mr. Rus Fletcher, Mrs. Merline Ballard, Mr. Cletus Griffin, Mr. Elisha "Cadillac" Harris, Mr. Roy Chernock, Mr. Dan Stimpson, and Mr. Daly. These experiences taught him discipline and balance early on. Juggling academics and sports builds time management skills. It fosters teamwork and resilience. Research shows that student athletes often excel in leadership roles later in life. They learn to face challenges head-on. This foundation of life harmony shapes their future. Doc’s journey inspires others to find balance in their own lives. Embrace every challenge; it’s a stepping stone to greatness! This led Doc & Mrs. Brown to open a 24-HOURS fitness-martial arts-boxing gym just 6 blocks from the projects where Doc Brown grew up. To date, Doc & Mrs. Brown have trained numerous US and World Champions.
