Ashley Fox Biography

Ashley Fox is one of the NFL’s most well-respected journalists and a trailblazer in the competitive world of sports media. During her 24-year career, including 7 years as a lead NFL reporter and analyst for ESPN, Inc., The Worldwide Leader in Sports, Fox covered the United States' most popular sport for the largest sports media network in the world.

By being fair, honest, and accountable, with unwavering professionalism and boundless optimism, Fox earned the trust of professional athletes, coaches, owners, team executives, and league commissioners. She is known for mastering the art of listening and asking insightful questions, which has helped her maintain lasting relationships with key figures in sports. Her ability to build and sustain these relationships highlights her understanding of the power of connections and teamwork, traits she often discusses in her keynote presentations on leadership and team building.

Since 1993, Fox has reported from the world’s largest sporting events, including the Summer Olympics, Wimbledon, the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, the Final Four, the World Series, the Stanley Cup Finals, and the PGA Championship. Fox’s written work has been featured on ESPN.com, TheUndefeated.com, ESPNW.com, and in ESPN The Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and the Philadelphia Inquirer. She has appeared on ESPN’s signature studio shows "SportsCenter," "Outside the Lines," "The Sports Reporters," "Pardon The Interruption," "NFL Live," "NFL Insiders," "His & Hers," and "Jim Rome is Burning," as well as on CNN and MSNBC. Her seven-minute story "Brothers in Arms" kicked off the 2017 season of ESPN’s "SC Featured" and detailed the relationship between Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva, a former Army Ranger, and his Afghan translator Mohammad Arif Azimi, with whom Villanueva served in Afghanistan.

A graduate of Indiana University, Fox shares with audiences around the world her inspiring story of determination, perseverance, and maintaining professional integrity. Attendees of Fox’s presentations learn the proven leadership, communication, and teamwork strategies that took her from a small-town girl with big-time dreams to an award-winning reporter and columnist for the preeminent sports network on the planet. She also discusses her personal journey of overcoming significant life obstacles, emphasizing resilience and the importance of never giving up.

Fox is a North Carolina native, a recovering tennis protégé, and an aspiring black belt in the karate discipline Tang Soo Do. She resides in suburban Philadelphia with her two children and a Labrador.
