Aaron Golub
1st Legally Blind D1 Athlete
Ex NFL

Aaron Golub is a speaker, entrepreneur, and trailblazer who made history as the first legally blind athlete to play in a Division I football game. His journey began at Tulane University, where he earned a spot on the football team as a long snapper—not through luck, but through relentless discipline and an unshakable mindset. After years of early mornings, extra reps, and overcoming doubt, Aaron became a starter and later signed as an NFL free agent.

But his story didn’t end on the field.

Aaron took the lessons he learned in sports: resilience, leadership, and mental toughness, and built a career helping others unlock their potential. Today, he’s a sought-after keynote speaker and performance coach, working with Fortune 500 companies, universities, and sports organizations to challenge limiting beliefs and inspire bold action. His message is clear: your adversity is your advantage, and your mindset is your most powerful tool.

He’s been featured on Good Morning America, Sports Illustrated, CBS, and The New York Times, and has spoken for clients like Deloitte, Pinterest, and PlayFly Sports. Whether he’s on stage, in a boardroom, or mentoring young athletes, Aaron brings authenticity, energy, and a powerful reminder that greatness isn’t about what you lack; it’s about what you choose to become.
