Beyond the Game: Building Your Brand - Sabrina Oostburg - Episode 153

Every once in a while, I have a guest who completely changes the way I think about a topic. Sabrina Oostburg did exactly that.When most people hear "NIL," they think about big contracts, endorsements, and college athletes making money. Sabrina sees something much bigger. She sees opportunities, personal branding, and preparing athletes for success long after their playing days are over.Sabrina's story is incredible. She started as a Division I track and field athlete, earned her degree in Sports Administration from Belmont University, built a social media following of more than 150,000 people, founded NIL Roadmap, and has become one of the brightest young voices helping student athletes navigate the ever-changing world of NIL.What I loved most about our conversation wasn't just her knowledge, it was her passion. She genuinely wants to help athletes avoid the mistakes she had to figure out on her own. We talked about building a personal brand, protecting your reputation, creating opportunities, preparing for life after sports, and why your name may be the most valuable asset you'll ever own.Whether you're a student-athlete, coach, parent, athletic administrator, or just someone who wants to understand where college athletics is headed, this episode is full of practical advice and fresh perspectives.I really enjoyed this conversation, and I think you will too.If you enjoy the conversation, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who could benefit from Sabrina's story.#RUStrong #NIL #StudentAthletes #PersonalBrand #Leadership #CollegeAthletics #SportsBusiness #AthleteDevelopment #Podcast
