Yogi Roth Biography

Yogi Roth has been driven by the power of sports and story for over twenty years as an on-air college football analyst, Elite 11 coach, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, and New York Times and Amazon best-selling author. A former Pitt wide receiver and USC coach, he is also a motivational speaker, TV and event host, and world traveler.

Roth began his storytelling career after coaching football at USC, co-authoring the New York Times best-seller "Win Forever" with Pete Carroll and his second book "From PA to LA." In 2022, Roth released "5-Star QB," an Amazon best-selling book, and his first children’s book titled "Finding Free Fun." Alongside publisher Vooks, "Finding Free Fun" is also an animated film.

As a filmmaker, he recently executive produced and hosted "All American Stories" on the CW and has produced or directed multiple documentaries with the Pac-12 Networks, NFL Films, Bleacher Report, and ESPN, including the Emmy-nominated film "Keep Climbing: 2013 Elite 11," and the award-winning film "Life In A Walk." Recently, he was an executive producer on the educational documentary series "ProtectHer," as well as directed and wrote the short films "What Does It Mean to be Human?," "What Does It Mean to Love?," and "What Does It Mean to Connect?." He also created and hosted the digital documentary series, "We All Speak Ball," which chronicled American football in Israel in 2017. While at the Pac-12 Networks, Roth produced and narrated the award-winning documentary series, "The Drive." In 2020, he won a Los Angeles Emmy on behalf of the Pac-12 Networks for the feature titled "Fight On: A Jackson Family." In 2023, he released "The Cape."

As a media personality, Roth has been a host and college football analyst for ESPN, Fox, and the Pac-12 Network, as well as a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight on CBS and beach volleyball on TBS for the last decade. In 2017, he co-hosted the podcast "Season of Sam" with USC and NFL quarterback Sam Darnold. In 2018, Yogi signed a deal with Sirius XM radio, in addition to his podcast "The It Factory," where he interviewed Pac-12 football players, alums, and esteemed guests to learn more about their journey toward success. He has also hosted the "Elite 11" since 2009 on ESPN, Bleacher Report, NFL Network, and YouTube. In 2022, Yogi also hosted the unscripted series "Fixing Us" on NBC.

Roth has been speaking for years and gave an emotional TEDx Talk at the TEDx Austin Women’s Conference. Since then, he has spoken around the globe alongside brands such as Nike, World Surf League, JCPenney, Dignity Health, PMK*BNC, IMG College, USC, UW, Oregon, Gonzaga, and Capital One. He has also spoken at the SXSW Festival, addressing masculinity in sports. He joined the Pac-12 Conference task force, which was formed to protect student-athletes and address systemic issues threatening college athletics. During the 2020 pandemic-shortened season, he transitioned to an amplified role within the Pac-12 conference as a lead in football communications and strategy.

A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Roth walked on to the football team and earned a full athletic scholarship. He transitioned to coaching and joined the USC Football staff while earning magna cum laude with a master’s degree in Communications Management at the Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism. This degree equipped him as a teacher, confidant, mentor, and coach as he taught a class titled "Storytelling: The Internship to Pac-12 student-athletes." With the farewell of the Pac-12 in 2024, Roth has transitioned to a new arena with the Big Ten Network.

He is the co-founder of Win Forever, LLC with Pete Carroll, a company dedicated to coaching coaches on the development of a winning philosophy. As an actor, Roth has appeared on Comedy Central, multiple national commercials and in various independent films.

An explorer of over 30 countries Roth enjoys unplanned adventures, surfing, and a local latte. He resides in Venice Beach, CA with his wife Amy, two sons, and their small dog.
