Ahman Green is a lifelong video game enthusiast who enjoys playing “Madden” games and “Tecmo Super Bowl.” He often spends his off days all gaming instead of golfing like some former teammates. Green is passionate about growing the ESports industry and became the first ESports coach for Lakeland University in 2020.
He built the program from scratch, and Lakeland’s co-ed team now competes in the Nation Association of Collegiate ESports (NACE) alongside about 150 other colleges in the league. Every fall, they battle against teams from all over the country, promoting the sport along the way.
In January, Ahman Green began a new role as a Mass Communications lecturer and Esports coach at his former college, Nebraska. His primary focus is to teach students valuable life skills, such as discipline, respect, and communication.
