More About Me – Pat Brown, MBA

My name is Pat Brown, and I’ve dedicated my career to helping others achieve financial literacy, particularly within the unique world of college coaching and athletics. With over 20 years of experience as a financial advisor, I’ve seen firsthand how essential financial knowledge is for navigating the complexities of contracts, benefits, investments, and long-term financial planning.

Before embarking on my journey as a financial expert, I was a student-athlete myself. I played football at the University of Kansas, where I had the honor of being a team captain. The discipline and leadership skills I learned on the field have greatly influenced my professional career and my approach to helping others with their financial goals. My time as an athlete also sparked a passion for helping fellow athletes and coaches navigate the financial challenges they face throughout their careers.

As a financial advisor, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients—from individuals just starting their careers to seasoned professionals looking to secure their financial future. My passion for financial literacy led me to create platforms like www.financialliteracyforstudentathletes.com and www.financialliteracyfornil.com, where I provide guidance to student-athletes and professionals alike on topics like budgeting, credit, and investing.

Now, with Financial Literacy for College Coaches, I’ve expanded my reach to help college coaches at every stage of their career understand the financial landscape they operate in. I believe that financial literacy is essential for coaches, whether they are negotiating their first contract or preparing for retirement. I’ve seen how a well-structured financial plan can transform lives, and I’m committed to ensuring that every coach has the tools and knowledge they need to succeed both on and off the field.

Beyond my professional life, I continue to stay involved in the sports world, helping athletes and coaches understand the importance of financial planning. My background as a former athlete drives my passion for helping others secure their future while pursuing their dreams.

I’m always eager to share my knowledge and work with individuals who are ready to take control of their financial future. Whether you’re looking to maximize your coaching contract, plan for retirement, or simply understand the basics of financial literacy, I’m here to help.

Feel free to reach out—I look forward to working together to build a secure financial future for you and your family.
