Wally Green

Pro Athlete / Speaker / Entrepreneur

Wally Green is an international pro ping pong player known for representing the U.S. in every major country in the world at the highest level on the international pro tour. He has an incredible story of transformation, overcoming severe domestic abuse, violence, gangs, and guns to become a globally recognized athlete, speaker, and content creator.
Beyond ping pong, Wally is a passionate advocate for sports diplomacy, famously organizing a historic trip to North Korea to promote peace through table tennis. He is also deeply involved in the pickleball community, despite initially being one of its biggest critics. His journey from a hater to a high-level competitor in just a few months has been widely followed.
Wally is an engaging speaker, a viral content creator with a strong presence on Instagram and TikTok, and an actor who recently worked on a 1950s-set movie alongside Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Tyler, the Creator. In the film, he not only served as Tyler’s stunt double but also has a line with Timothée Chalamet.
Through his social media, speaking engagements, and personal projects—like his upcoming book From the Pistol to the Paddle—Wally inspires others with messages of perseverance, self-improvement, and breaking through limitations.
