Kicking off the new year is Brand Strategist, Thought Leader, and Entrepreneur, Amanda Sabreah, who joins Glenn on the Field to discuss why athletic talent alone is not enough when it comes to building a strong personal brand and achieve success. Amanda shares the most common ways athletes misposition themselves, including being inauthentic, oversaturating social media, and failing to understand their true market value. She explains why modern sports demand more than performance, why stats and skills do not automatically lead to off-the-field or court success, and how athletes must stand out in a crowded marketplace. Amanda also breaks down brand sequencing strategies to increase visibility and secure endorsements, and how missequencing can lead to reputational damage, financial loss, consumer distrust, and an inconsistent narrative. She also discusses the difference between rebranding and repositioning, and how athletes can break free from the box fans often place them in before their full story is told.
