The old first round choice of the NFL Tim Green has one of the most impressive curriculum vitae that someone can have.
Green, 61, played eight seasons with the Falcons of Atlanta, was a broadcaster for “NFL on Fox”, wrote nearly 40 books and has become a successful author of the New York Times and is also a lawyer.
Green announced that he had received a diagnosis of SLA in 2018, but his diagnosis did not prevent him from continuing to add to his long CV.

Green and his son Troy began a podcast entitled “Nothing is said”. Green has lost its ability to speak because of SLA, but speaks using the eye -to -have and its voice generated by AI.
Tim and Troy spoke to PK Press Club Digital of the Podcast, which, according to Tim, is “one of the most significant things I have ever done”.
“Thanks to each conversation, we are not only making SLA and the course, but we also create memories,” said Tim.
“Strengthen our bond and show others what love, resilience and humor is like in the face of adversity. Troy brings his own voice, his perspective and his energy to the podcast. Doing this reminds me that even in the most difficult moments, there is joy, connection and goal.”
However, Green initially felt that the world did not need another podcast and was reluctant to start it.
“The inspiration for the start of the podcast came from Troy. I was reluctant at the beginning. I thought that the world did not need another podcast, but Troy harassed me to do so. Finally, I agreed to do so provided that I could honor my Christian faith in each episode and use the platform to collect funds and A SLA awareness,” said Green.

“Make the podcast with my son Troy gave him more sense, it has become a way for us to share honest conversations, laugh together and talk about life, football, ALS and everything else. We wanted to create a real space, full of hope and perhaps even a little inspiring for others.
Troy, one of Green’s five children, said the podcast had given him the opportunity to hear stories about his father whom he had never heard before.
“It’s great. It’s fun,” I told people, my father is one of the most humble people. If I realized half what he was doing on this subject, but I never hear the stories. ” As I never heard about when he played or all the good football stories and war stories. I have heard of him fighting injuries or dismissing John Elway or anything, I still hear him from others, “said Troy.
“It’s really fun for me because I learn, we have impressive guests that we hear their stories and learn a lot, but I also hear a lot, people who talk about my father,” said Troy.
Troy recalled a story he found about his father that the great Cowboys of Dallas, Grand Aikman, said on the podcast.

“At the end of the episode, we thought we ended up and Troy Aikman is like,” you know what, Tim, if it’s okay, I have something I mean “we said to each other”, yes, well, what’s going on? “” Said Troy.
“It was (Aikman) Last home game, he was hué by the crowd, and during the first game, the receiver was supposed to run an inclination and ran an outing, so he launched the ball, and that looked like a terrible pass. But it was really bad communication. Announced games, my father stayed for Troy Aikman.
“It is something that I have never known and that I have never heard of it. My father never talked about it. Frankly, I don’t know if my father remembered it, but that many years later, even if it was, 20 to 30 years later, and it always stuck with Troy Aikman for him to do it.
Tim said his approach to podcasting had been shaped by his experience as a writer and a diffuser and that these roles were “incredibly precious”.
“As a writer, I learned to create stories that connect with people. How to find the emotional nucleus, the human truth that resonates, this skill helps me to bring depth and intention to each episode. Make sure that we are not only talking about but really telling a story that matters. The dissemination taught me to communicate clearly, to listen to an audience in real time,” said Tim.

“These are essential in podcasting, especially when you have honest unicned conversations and create a space for a significant dialogue. In the end, writing and dissemination gave me the tools to connect. The podcast allows me to use these tools in a deeply personal way, especially when I share with my son or speaking of SLA and my faith.
After Tim’s diagnosis with SLA, he launched Tackles, a campaign dedicated to fundraising for SLA research in Massachusetts. The campaign has collected more than $ 10 million since its creation.
“The increase of more than $ 10 million dollars for MASS General’s SLA research has been incredibly humiliating. Each dollar represents one more step towards the responses for treatments, and ultimately healing. It is more than a simple campaign; it is a mission supplied by urgency, hope and unwavering belief that together, we can change the future for people living with SLA,” said TIM.
“When I was diagnosed, I knew that I wanted to transform this moment into action. Tackles gave me a goal beyond the diagnosis. It became a way to channel my energy in something significant, to fight not only for myself, but everyone confronted this disease.
“Tacklleals connected me to a community of people who includes researchers, supporters, families and patients who refuse to abandon. It is a reminder that we are not alone in this fight and that together, we make real progress.”
Tim is not the only former NFL player to have received a diagnosis of SLA. The former defender of New Orleans saints Steve Gleason received a diagnosis of SLA in 2011.
Tim attributes to “Warrior Spirit” by Gleason for having inspired him in his own battle against the disease.

“Steve and his team were incredible, his warrior spirit raises and inspires me. As so many others live with SLA, I often think:” If Steve can do it, why I can’t? “He became more than just inspiration, he became a confidence friend,” said Tim.
“The work carried out by the Gleason Foundation is really remarkable, offering assistance technology, essential equipment and support services that allow people living with SLA to live with greater independence and dignity.”
For all the incredible achievements that Tim has made in his life, the thing he is most proud of is his family.
“I know it looks like a cliché, but what I am most proud of is my family. Whoever knows me will tell you this, my wife and I have been married for over 36 years. All our children are special, I mean really special,” said Tim.
“Our eldest son, Thane, has two master’s degrees and is a psychologist for children. He lives in the street and has a woman and three children. Our eldest daughter is a doctor in veterinary medicine, and she lives through the countryside on a farm with her husband and three children. Troy is our average child and lives next door with his wife and four children. Troy is a Lawyer and Entreator.”
“Our youngest daughter, Tate, a graduate of Harvard, went to work for the NFL, got married and has a new baby. Our youngest son, Ty, is a high school student, and he is committed to playing the butt in Hamilton College, about 75 minutes. The rest (of my achievements), compared to my family, are only primaries.”

TIM can also add that it was an exceptional model for his children.
“How lucky I have to be born in a situation where you have a model like that?” Said Troy.
“Obviously, my parents were (summer) much more than a simple model in terms of love, care and support. But, I mean how lucky I am to wake up in a house with your superhero.”
