Keontay Gaines is the Assistant Director of Student Athlete Development at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). Keontay and I met in Lawrence, KS, where we quickly bonded over a fascination of the people around us. After growing up in inner-city Baltimore, Keontay went on to play college football, build a family, and grab several degrees along the way. He is a great example of someone who did not have opportunity immediately spelled out for him, so he had to find ways to create it. From creating his own snack resale business to telling stories that inspire those around him, his timeline began to take off. In this conversation, we cover a bunch of topics, including: how Keontay discovered football and his biggest sports failure of his career, the most important book he read that ended up changing his life, what Keontay created (snack biz) to learn how to work with people as a kid, why being alone is super bad, and how to build yourself up by choosing the correct people to be in your inner environment. I was encouraged to lean further into self-belief, think less of waiting on opportunity but think more of creating it, put people around me who have a drive to love the people around them, and place a value on resilience. Episode Links: BOOKS MENTIONEDThe Little Red Book of Wisdom by Mark DeMoss: https://amzn.to/44Xn8F8The Art of Dealing with People by Les Giblin: https://amzn.to/42SgGNNRich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki: https://amzn.to/3M87BtoLetters from a Stoic by Seneca: https://amzn.to/3O9UJ8JThe Overthinking Cure by Nick Trenton: https://amzn.to/42HBCYkCrazy Faith by Michael Todd: https://amzn.to/3BpVGlLOutliers by Malcom Gladwell: https://amzn.to/3BpPQknThe Way of the Seal by Mark Divine and Allyson Edelhertz Machate: https://amzn.to/3O8QbiUYou Can You Will by Joel Osteen: https://amzn.to/450speTInstagram: taygaines007TikTok: taygaines007An easy way to send me a message?

As we approach Juneteenth, the celebration of the end of slavery in this country, we share this RISE critical Conversation from the recently held University of Maryland Sports Business Conference. With lawmakers across the country seeking to restrict the way issues of race, diversity and inclusion are discussed and taught in schools and places of work, this conversation addresses how we talk, teach and tackle racism in the collegiate space, particularly in athletics.
