contents We investigate the asymptotic behavior of greedy $s$-Riesz and Green energy sequences $\{x_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d} \subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, where each point $x_n$ is defined as the minimizer of the discrete potential generated by the preceding points $x_1, x_2, ..., x_{n-1}$. We show that the greedy sequence attains optimal growth behavior for the second-order term of the Green and Riesz $s$-energies when $d-2 \leq s < d$. The main idea is to establish the bounds on polarization using well-separation properties of the greedy configurations.
