Tim Green, Author and Former Altanta Falcons Player

Mr. Green has a simple, powerful message for all of us!

Character is #1.
School is #2.
Following a special passion that involves talent, hard work and luck...is #3. But, still go for it!!!

  1. I thought it was so interesting to learn that Tate and Troy are based on his real children...same names, personalities and even cover photographs!
    Also, his books are set in Altanta, his hometown.
    WRITERS WRITE BEST ABOUT WHAT THEY KNOW!!!

  2. I thought it was interesting that Tim Green is a writer and a football player!
    He must have gone through hard work! I also found it interesting Tim Green thought that personality comes first, education comes second, and talents come third. Tim Green is a nice author!

  4. I think it is very interesting that he is a writer and a football player those two subjects just don't seem to match. Like a writer is peaceful in his or hers office and a football player is out and beyond tackling people and being rough. Peaceful in his office and tackling people in a huge stadium in front of maybe more than a million people. But what does match is that he writes ABOUT his career and his hobby he does. His books are amazing and like he said it goes characters then school and learning and all that stuff then it's going to special talents like football and my sport is cheer so those talents like the sports you play or all the extra things you do besides school.
