ife After Sports | Featuring Johnathan Haggerty

What happens when the game ends, the uniform comes off, and the life you’ve built around sports begins to change?

On this episode of Can We Talk Sports, we sit down with former Dallas Cowboys player Johnathan Haggerty for a conversation about life after sports.

Johnathan shares his perspective on transitioning beyond the game, finding purpose outside of football, and navigating the identity shift that can come when an athlete moves into the next chapter of life.

Because preparing athletes to play is only part of the conversation. Who are you when you’re no longer defined by the sport you played?

We’re talking football, transition, identity, purpose, and what comes next.

The NIL Hustle: How Cristian Baul Builds Athlete Brands & Partnerships

NIL has changed the game for student-athletes, but getting an opportunity is only part of the equation. What do athletes actually need to build something that lasts? 🏀🏈💰

This week on Can We Talk Sports, we sit down with Cristian Baul, founder of Halftime Hustle, to talk about the business behind Name, Image and Likeness.

Cristian breaks down how high school and college athletes can approach personal branding, partnerships and content marketing with a bigger picture in mind. We also get into what families need to understand as young athletes begin navigating opportunities, sponsorships and the business decisions that come with them.

We’re talking:

• Why an athlete’s brand matters before the deal arrives
• How NIL partnerships and brand relationships work
• The role content plays in creating opportunities
• What parents and families should know
• How athletes can think beyond the quick check and toward long-term opportunities

Plus, Big Momma’s wisdom, our rapid-fire NIL Hustle Game, and plenty of conversation along the way. 🎙️

Because NIL isn’t just about getting paid. It’s about learning how to turn your name, image and likeness into something you can build on.

Game Changer. Bar Owner. Chef. Basketball Player. That tells me the episode is bigger than simply “woman opens sports bar.” Jenny’s personal relationship with sports is part of the story.

I’d actually change the Spotify title to:

That’s tighter and more intriguing than the title I gave you before. Then the description we just wrote works beautifully, with one small addition mentioning that Jenny brings her own background as a basketball player and chef into the story.

And if we're doing what we did for Enjoli, THIS episode needs its own square Spotify artwork too, based on this thumbnail but jazzed all the way up. The Sports Bra branding has a completely different energy, so I wouldn’t recycle the Sports Mom treatment. 🔥

The World of Being a Sports Mom | Featuring Enjoli Dixon

Being a sports mom is a whole world of its own. 🏀⚽💪🏽

In this episode of Can We Talk Sports, Enjoli Dixon joins the conversation about what it really takes to raise and support young athletes. From early practices and packed weekends to celebrating the wins and helping them through the losses, we’re talking about the parts of sports parenting that happen long before and after the game.

Enjoli shares her experience balancing her child’s athletic dreams with family, connection, and making sure Mom doesn’t completely disappear in the process.

Because behind every young athlete chasing a dream, there’s usually a sports mom somewhere juggling a schedule, carrying snacks, yelling from the stands, and making it happen. ❤️
