  • How do I set myself apart from my competition?

    There is a lot of language that I don't understand. I like to consider myself a fairly smart woman, but some things are just dumb complicated for no reason. I've learned that sometimes that's by design. 

    I call these "gatekeepers". These are people or entities that use complex jargon (see what I did there lol) or a lot of pages so that you either won't read it or won't understand it. I'm going to break down what a Unique Selling Proposition is because let me tell you... if you don't really nail this down the rest of what ever you do is gonna be near impossible. 

    In this episode you will learn:

    1. What a USP is
    2. Why you don't have to be revolutionary to stand out 
    3. A strategy to figure out how you're different. 

    I've created a short video (click the episode resource button above to get that) walking you through how I figured out mine and how freeing it was.

  • What it's like being a "product" and remembering your faith as a competitor. Convo with Nicole Capurso

    Nicole Capurso  Instagram  Twitter Website

    Key Ideas

    Flexible Dieting

    Leaving faith out

    Honor your nutrition

    Balancing competition and everything else

    As an athlete you're the product, so things fall by the wayside. Putting energy into other things might not make you a better athlete, but it's important for the rest of your life.

  • What if I'm not good at anything else?

    It's not uncommon to not know what else you're good at besides sports. You've been playing it your whole life. So, I was watching Last Chance U on Netflix and many of the guys said that if they didn't go pro, hell, D1 they didn't know what they were gonna do. That's not a hopeful place to be in. With that mindset you are bound to make stupid mistakes, not because you're a bad person, but you don't have hope for the future or your present. 

    Sometimes we aren't giving ourselves enough credit though. That's what this episode is about. Seeing the person behind the jersey in all its glory. 

    In this episode you will learn:

    1. What you may be overlooking about yourself
    2. What to do if you actually don't have any marketable skills
    3. How to get honest feedback and what to do with it

  • What if I haven't done anything yet?

    *Full transparency* This is one of the toughest areas for me. It is for a lot of people actually. Let me give you some context. I never went pro. I played D1 ball, but I have no name recognition outside of the Howard University sphere of influence. That is also 98% of amateur athletes.

    So when you are trying to build your personal brand it's tempting to try and fake it til you make it. That actually used to be what the old head told you. This isn't to be confused with a phrase like "dress for the job you want" because there is some truth to that, but for real for real faking it and being something you're not will cost you.  

    In this episode you will learn:

    1. What message consistency is
    2. About a great resource book called Athletes Are Brands Too 
    3. How to develop your THESIS 

    There are people way more qualified than I to talk about this and I encourage you to reach out for their material, however what I've noticed when it comes to other athletes helping other athletes, is a lot of hype. I don't know about you, but when someone that played professionally is giving advice about branding it's difficult for me to relate to them. I'm passing along what I've learned so far about saving time, money, and sanity when building a personal brand.
