In this episode of The Gametime Guru, I sit down with Sam Winter, former Boise State Basketball player and creative content creator. Sam’s story goes beyond his time on the court—he built a personal brand by sharing behind-the-scenes stories and embracing his role within a Division I program. His content gave fans a unique, authentic look at life as a college athlete.
We cover Sam’s athletic journey, including:
How an ACL injury in high school almost ended his career
His decision to walk on at Boise State and what it took to earn a spot on the team
Life as a D1 basketball player and the lessons learned along the way
How he embraced his role and found ways to stand out through content creation
His process for developing creative, authentic content and growing an audience
Transitioning from athlete to entrepreneur with the launch of his Christian clothing line
The role of faith in his life, on and off the court
Sam shares valuable insights for athletes, parents, and coaches about leadership, personal branding, and finding your identity beyond sports.
