Steve Strand’s Post

I love my Ducks! It was such a joy to spend the fall back at The University of Oregon’s Warsaw Sports Business Center teaching this class of marketers-in-the-making the art of Brand Management. It was a special time to be back on campus and a truly full circle experience to get to live it in lockstep with these outstanding students as they prepare themselves for forging careers in the sports industry. I am walking away from this experience rejuvenated and inspired by their passion, drive, and creativity and am excited to witness the milestones that they achieve throughout the coming chapters of their early careers. Many thanks and much gratitude to our Guest Lecturers Bronson Yim, Bryant Kohler, Steve Strand, Melvin Lenzy,Austin Lacter, Aubrie Corey-Nuñez, Kamauri Yeh and Shamus Eaton for sharing stories and perspectives from their personal journeys, industry insights, and life wisdom with this class of knowledge seekers. Remember class, Authenticity is everything! Go Ducks!

Last week saw the announcement of our client Folarin Balogun's decision to represent the country of his birth and play for the USMNT 🇺🇸 A huge s/o to all of those who made it possible, coming together to make sure he and his family got to own their moment. Starting with Em, Eddie Bonsu and the team here at Elite Project Group... To the U.S. Soccer Federation, especially Michael Kammarman and his team who done an unbelievable job in such a short time frame...

An incredible start to an exciting journey. Let's keep building 🧱

“Learn from you past self, Compete with your present self, Set the bar for your future self.” Never thought I’d be quoting Jesse Lingard but here we are! Episode 8 of Channel 4 Untold strand is out now - The Jesse Lingard Story. The premier league footballer is amazingly open about his mental health and how becoming a carer for his siblings affected his performance on the pitch. A difficult but important thing to do and a reminder that you never know what’s going on in people’s personal lives. Thanks Karolyn Holbon Santino Stoner Steve Strand for this one. #C4Untold #mentalhealth #documentary #footballer #premierleague #jesselingardstory
