Jesse LeBeau was always an underdog. An undersized, wannabe basketball player from a small island in Alaska. He was overlooked and underestimated his whole life…
Until he made the decision to TEAM UP and find his tribe and it completely changed his life forever. Right now, thanks to smartphones and social media, we are experiencing a loneliness epidemic unlike anything ever seen before. Jesse knows what this feels like because this is exactly how he felt when he was trapped on that little island in Alaska.
Lonely, isolated and hopeless.
Fast forward, basketball has taken Jesse all over the world and led him to star in movies and TV shows with some of the biggest names on the planet like Heidi Klum, Justin Bieber and Kobe Bryant.
Jesse shares the powerful lessons he’s learned along his journey with educators and gives evidence-based strategies to build confident, resilient and happy kids in an ever changing modern world by the power of TEAMING UP. Jesse entertains with humor and the basketball tricks that landed him on the Hollywood big screen, captivates with real life stories of triumph and struggle and inspires audiences to take action with this unforgettable talk.
Jesse LeBeau is a speaker, best-selling author, and one of the world’s most sought-after youth motivational thought leaders.

With more and more preteens and teens struggling to build valuable relationships in school, Jesse is on a mission to teach kids, parents and educators how to TEAM UP and become part of a community that helps them grow into happy, confident adults. Jesse’s method is all about identifying what you want to be a part of, and finding the tribes – both in and out of school – that will allow you to be yourself to the fullest.
Jesse’s unlikely underdog story has inspired millions of teens through his speaking, best-selling books, and inspirational youth programs for teens, parents and educators.
