Tips from a Student-Athlete Building His Own Brand

Gib Versfeld

Founder, Goalie by Gib
Johns Hopkins University Lacrosse
NIL Storytellers Class of 2022

Gib Versfeld joins us this week on The NIL Playbook to share his NIL journey and offer advice to other young athletes.

 

Participating in athletics at a high level teaches you many things, and for Gib, one of the most important lessons was passion. He reminds us that you don’t need to be the best at something in order to be successful – what you need to do is find something you truly want, then spend time and effort applying yourself towards whatever it is you want to accomplish.

 

He goes on to debunk some common misconceptions about NIL and shares his tips for building your brand. As a current student-athlete himself who is currently building his brand, he offers sound advice and actionable tips for anyone looking to do the same.

 

In this episode:

  • How playing lacrosse improved his academic performance
  • How his brand, Goalie by Gib, is helping lacrosse goalies across the country improve their game
  • What he wants you to know about the most common misconceptions about NIL
  • Tips on how to get involved and get started in building your own personal brand

        Mark Koesterer
        Founder

        Welcome. I’m Mark Koesterer, founder of The Players NIL, and I have a deep passion for this work. My background includes a long and extensive relationship with the sporting industry. As a former college athlete, I have first hand experience navigating the collegiate world. As a father of college athletes, I was actively involved with supporting the requirements needed to compete at the highest level, while maintaining focus on broader life goals. As the president and CEO of Sports Studio, I helped build a successful Hollywood sports and entertainment company.

        At Sports Studio, I interacted with athletes, brands, production companies, professional sports leagues, and agents. All of this gave me expert-level experience in digital marketing, branding, production, group licensing, sponsorship, influencer marketing, apparel design and production, and fan engagement.

        It’s ALL of this collective experience that I offer, while bringing you a premier level of service that will help you reach your goals. If you would like to learn how to build your brand and maximize your NIL potential, contact me today.

        The Players NIL is built for YOU.
