Meet Khalid

“The ancestors called me off of the sidelines a long time ago to serve as a positive example for youth in my community. It is my duty to fill the void of black manhood that is missing in the lives of so many young brothers I have come across. Kha-Leads is a play on my name, yet also a personal affirmation that reminds me daily to do my part in teaching the babies the truth while empowering them as well.” - Khalid Green

I have known Khalid for more than 30 years and watched his progression as a player, a successful high school coach and NBA scout. He is a passionate and wise leader of young black boys and girls. His goal is to help them all enjoy a positive experience in youth sports. His book—Free Game: The Guide for Black/Brown Students, Athletes and Parents, can be used to navigate the sports scene, through grassroots, high school, college, and the professional ranks. This book is an insightful, must-read road map for coaches, parents, and student/athletes.”
