Tim Worley

Tim Worley is a former professional football player, inspirational speaker, and certified life skills consultant known for his powerful story of personal transformation. A standout running back at the University of Georgia, Worley rose to national prominence in the late 1980s, earning First-Team All-SEC honors and becoming a Heisman Trophy contender. His remarkable college career led to him being selected as the 7th overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Worley’s athleticism, grit, and explosive power made him a force on the field during his time in the NFL, where he played for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears. However, his professional career was also marked by personal challenges, including substance abuse and off-the-field issues that ultimately curtailed his time in the league.

What followed was a journey of redemption and spiritual awakening. After hitting rock bottom, Worley experienced a dramatic turnaround, becoming a devout Christian and dedicating his life to helping others overcome adversity. Today, he is a John C. Maxwell-certified speaker and leadership coach, sharing his story to inspire individuals, teams, and organizations to embrace accountability, resilience, and purpose.

Worley travels extensively across the U.S. speaking to students, athletes, corporate audiences, and faith-based groups. He addresses topics such as leadership, emotional intelligence, behavior transformation, and spiritual growth, drawing on both his triumphs and tribulations to connect deeply with audiences. His authenticity and ability to blend humor, vulnerability, and insight have made him a sought-after speaker for events focused on character development and personal growth.

Worley is also active in community outreach, working with at-risk youth and mentoring young athletes. Through his company, Worley Global Enterprises, he offers coaching, keynote speaking, and consulting services designed to empower individuals and teams to operate at their highest potential—on and off the field.
