Teejay's Bio
“Everyday I better myself, I better everyone I’m connected to.”
Husband, proud father, collegiate and five sport professional athlete, minister, motivational speaker.
Teejay Britton is a name people are becoming familiar with in schools, sports organizations, churches and businesses around the world. Teejay has competed athletically and served through ministry nationally and internationally, bringing inspiration and hope to so many. Teejay lives life with an infectious passion that fills the room. People of all ages receive hope and become motivated to grow in life. This was instilled in Teejay at an early age as he learned to embrace adversity. The youngest of 6 kids with a paraplegic mother and a father battling drug addiction, life has helped mold Teejay into someone that isn't defined by the adversity experienced in life, but how he responds to it. That response has led to him becoming a devout Christian, a world-renowned athlete in several sports and public servant dedicated to bettering his community.
Teejay graduated from Mineral Area College and Missouri Southern State University as a multi-sport All-American athlete, with degrees in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement, but decided to pursue a career in education and accepted a position as a director of an alternative school in Oklahoma. After 3 years with the school, Teejay accepted his call into full time ministry and motivational speaking. Teejay is a five-sport professional athlete; track, basketball, MMA, boxing, and kickboxing. He uses his athletic background as a platform to positively impact anyone he encounters. His heart is to let people know that God loves them, has a plan for them, and can use them for His good no matter what they have done or been through.
Teejay and his wife, Britney, are the founders of MO Legacy basketball program, where he coaches and mentors players and their families. They share about their life, family, faith and marriage on Instagram @lifewithteejayandbritney. Teejay has begun work on his first book, which will focus on overcoming adversity. He also devotes his time mentoring college and professional athletes. Teejay lives with his wife and family in Southwest Missouri.
Teejay’s gift of encouragement and motivation has allowed him to speak through many different avenues:
