What you do and say can affect your life on and off the field. Crafting a personal brand of excellence will open doors and give you the best possible advantages in college and beyond. Join this team of experts in crafting your personal brand and social media presence. Panelists: Aaron Eanes and Andre Eanes, A&A Marketing Workshop: Moving the Chains While Staying in the Lines: Balancing the demands, pitfalls and traps awaiting athletes with developing careers can be as daunting as the opportunities, success and adulation can be exhilarating. Often the key to thriving and maximizing a student athlete’s collegiate experience is not only the physical preparation for a potential professional sports career, but also understanding the business of collegiate and professional sports, consideration of business and career opportunities that extend beyond the traditional role of athlete, and guarding against the pitfalls in life that await unwary collegiate and professional athletes and their families. Join this panel to discuss how to prepare to win on and off the field, particularly at the game of life. Panelists: Kenya Smith, Associate Professor of Law, Southern University Law Center |
