Motivational Speaker & Mental Health Advocate; CEO of Learning 2 Cope; Known for Focus on Resilience & Personal Growth
Josh Copeland Biography
Josh Copeland is a motivational speaker and mental health advocate known for his focus on resilience, self-discovery, and personal growth. Copeland received a scholarship to play college football for the University of Buffalo, where he developed the discipline and drive that would later shape his professional mission. As a former Division I athlete and advocate for mental health, Copeland has dedicated his career to sharing his personal journey and offering strategies for understanding and improving mental well-being.
After his athletic career ended, Copeland faced a challenging transition from sports to everyday life, struggling with depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse. He experienced setbacks, including not being selected for the NFL, returning home, and navigating the difficulties of life after sports. At one point, he had only 33 cents in his bank account and was jobless before eventually establishing a successful business. Determined to use his experiences to help others, Copeland founded Learning 2 Cope, LLC, and has reached thousands nationwide with his message of resilience, growth, and self-discovery.
Central to Copeland's work is a framework called COPE, an acronym for Creating Your Core Values, Owning Who You Are, Putting Yourself First, and Evolving Into The Authentic You. This guide supports individuals in finding their identity and developing strategies to move forward through adversity. Drawing on his experience as an athlete, Copeland addresses the challenges of developing an identity beyond sports and covers topics such as mental health, life after athletics, and self-forgiveness.
Copeland has spoken at schools, sports organizations, and businesses, sharing his expertise in mental health and personal development. He has partnered with colleges including Murray State and UMass to speak to student athletes and has appeared on news networks such as ABC News and Fox News. His website features an appearance on "Good Day Dayton." Copeland has also been featured in more than 300 online publications.
Through motivational speeches, workshops, and professional development training, Copeland helps businesses strengthen workplace connections, bridge generational gaps, and foster inclusive environments. He addresses audiences ranging from student athletes to corporate teams and community organizations, focusing on mental health, emotional wellness, and purpose. Copeland's openness about his own struggles and the journey that followed continues to position him as a significant voice in the mental health and personal development field.
