Faith lived through action
His love for God showed up in the way he helped people and taught his children to love others like Jesus.
LIFE AFTER THE LIGHTS
Anthony Green.
The father. The man of faith. The heart behind LATL.
A life of faith.
A heart for others.
Anthony Green was a strong, God-fearing man who put others before himself. He brought passion to what he did, loved his family deeply, and showed that his faith is something you live through the way you treat people.
A father and a professional football player, Anthony had a life and influence that extended well beyond the field. His family remembers his strength, his protective love, and a deep voice that could be both commanding and comforting.
He was also a man who loved being outdoors. He was hardly ever in the house—you could usually find him outside on his Texas ranch. That everyday picture of him matters just as much as any athletic title: a passionate man, fully engaged in the life he was living.
A LIFE OF SERVICE
The way he
showed his faith.
On one drive in his white Ram pickup, with horse-training supplies filling the back, Anthony saw a man walking along the road near Simpson Stuart. He stopped and asked whether the man needed a lift.
The man explained that his car had broken down and he only needed a ride up the street. Anthony helped him get there.
His explanation was simple: people are here to help one another and love others like Jesus. This was one of many everyday moments that showed his faith, generosity, and willingness to put someone else’s needs first.
What he stood for.
Selflessness
He would give his last without hesitation. Helping someone was worth stopping for.
Strength and love
His family remembers the love and protection he gave, and the strength he brought to the lives of those close to him.
Passion for life
He cared deeply about what he did, bringing passion to his work, his interests, and everyday life on his ranch.
THE CONVICTION THAT CREATED LATL
Preparation should begin
before the transition.
Life After The Lights: The Anthony Green Foundation was born from personal loss and a new understanding of what early preparation can make possible. After entering the financial services industry, the foundation’s founder recognized how access to financial education, practical life skills, and trusted guidance at a young age could have expanded the choices available to her father, Anthony Green, beyond his athletic career.
That realization became a commitment to the next generation: young athletes and their families should have opportunities to gain this knowledge long before a career ends, circumstances change, or difficult decisions arrive. Athletic ambition deserves to be supported by preparation for the whole of life.
A responsibility that extends beyond the scoreboard.
We believe institutions that recruit, develop, and benefit from athletic talent have a responsibility to prepare the people behind that talent for life beyond competition. Investment in performance should be matched by meaningful access to financial education, career exploration, mentorship, and essential life skills.
An athlete’s future should never depend solely on a roster spot, a scholarship, or the length of a playing career. Young people deserve the knowledge, exposure, and relationships to make informed decisions and build a life that can withstand change.
The legacy we are working to build.
LATL exists to help close that preparation gap. Through financial literacy, life-skills education, leadership development, career exploration, and mentorship, we aim to equip athletes and families to recognize opportunities, ask informed questions, and prepare for lasting stability and purpose beyond sport.
Honoring Anthony’s life means putting that conviction into practice: helping the next generation pursue athletic dreams while preparing for every chapter that follows.
