Life’s toughest battles aren’t fought under stadium lights — they happen in the quiet moments when you’re trying to hold it all together.

Glenn Derby knows this better than most. As a former NFL player for the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints, Glenn’s life looked like success from the outside. But behind the scenes, he was fighting through addiction, trauma, and the pain of growing up in a broken home.

Through years of recovery, faith, and personal growth, Glenn discovered that real strength isn’t about power — it’s about persistence.
It’s about showing up, even when it’s hard.

That’s what inspired Trench Tactics — five simple, practical strategies Glenn used to rebuild his life from the inside out. These tools helped him move from chaos to calm, from brokenness to balance, and they can do the same for you.

Hi, I'm Glenn Derby.

I’ve been blessed to play in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints, but my real story began long after I left the field. I grew up in a broken home and carried the weight of that pain into adulthood. For years, I battled addiction and the consequences of choices that nearly cost me everything.

But I made a decision — to stop running, to face my pain, and to find healing through faith, love, and honest work.

My recovery wasn’t easy, but it’s been the most important journey of my life. Through God’s grace and the support of others, I learned that resilience isn’t about how strong you look — it’s about having the courage to get back up when life knocks you down.

That’s what inspired Trench Tactics. These are the same simple, powerful steps that helped me rebuild my life one small decision at a time. If you’re ready to take your first step toward strength, peace, and purpose, I’d love to share them with you.
