Courtney Green, once a standout Division I athlete at LSU, has evolved from collegiate basketball player to dynamic entrepreneur, community advocate, and passionate mental health supporter.
Armed with a master’s degree and a deep commitment to service, she dedicates herself to uplifting young girls and teens, with a special focus on mental health and emotional wellness.
As a devoted wife and mother of five, Courtney skillfully juggles family life and a flourishing business, motivating the next generation to embrace resilience, faith, and authentic femininity. Her latest book, Stronger Every Day, offers teen girls and young women practical tools for building resilience and developing healthy coping skills.
Tell us about your book and the inspiration behind it?
Stronger Every Day is a self-help guide designed to help teen girls and young women build resilience, recognize their emotional needs, and apply healthy coping strategies. Stronger Every Day was born from experience. As a former D1 athlete, wife, mom of five, and mental health advocate, I’ve lived the highs and the silent struggles. I created the guide I wish I had growing up.
Who is your business role model? Why?
Sarah Jake’s Robert. She’s the blueprint for turning trauma into transformation. She built an empire on empathy, and I deeply admire how she combines storytelling with impact.
What would attract listeners to your personal story?
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s rooted in faith. I’m not perfect—I’m present. From overseas basketball courts to hospital visits, from book launches to bedtime routines, my story reminds women that you can be strong and still need healing.
What is your proudest business accomplishment?
Publishing Dance in the Rain and launching transitional homes for single mothers and veterans. Those moments proved that business can be both profitable and purpose-filled.
When it comes to community relations, what causes or organizations do you give back to?
I pour into organizations focused on youth development, mental health awareness, and housing stability. Whether it’s offering basketball clinics, hosting mental health summits, or supporting homeless outreach—I believe in being boots on the ground.
