From Professional Football to Investment Advisor and Best-Selling Author with Kristoffer Doura
On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we chat with Kristoffer Doura, former professional football player, investment advisor, and wall-street journal best-selling author of "Let's Get It!". Kristoffer talks with us about his journey growing up in sports and his transition into business and finance.
When you were in school, was there a movement of alumni athletes coming back to mentor the current athletes?
"There wasn't enough of that. We had players and athletes from every sport that would come and watch during your homecoming game or your championship games...those were the games where you really saw alumni come back and support. If they weren't a part of the organization in regards to either the mentorship setting or work setting, you didn't really see too many alumni.... We didn't have enough of them; I think that could be something encouraged today moving forward, for universities to be able to attract alumni; to be able to attract student athletes who are still current and getting ready for the next stage of their lives, to be able to have a community to be able to rely on for resources."
Kristoffer's thoughts on NIL:
"When you win national championships, you have a lot more attention in the community... you have a lot more people who are interested to invest in you, and then you have a lot more capacity to bring in resources that you would never have thought you would get access to if it wasn't for that performance. Athletes need to be treated as business professionals earlier in their journeys, because if an athlete is so zeroed in that they don't have the capacity to think about that stuff, then they're missing opportunities."
