Pat Brown, MBA, is a passionate advocate for financial literacy, dedicated to empowering athletes with the knowledge and skills necessary for long-term financial success. As a former All-Big 12 and Academic All-Big 12 football player at the University of Kansas, where he served as team captain, Pat has firsthand experience of the unique challenges athletes face both on and off the field. He briefly played in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders, where he witnessed the financial pitfalls that many pro athletes encounter after their playing days are over.
Fueled by his frustration at seeing talented athletes go broke, Pat created a series of platforms designed to promote financial literacy at every level: www.financialliteracyfornil.com, www.financialliteracyforstudentathletes.com, and www.financialliteracyforproathletes.com. These websites work in harmony to provide comprehensive financial education tailored specifically for athletes, from student-athletes to professionals.
Pat’s mission is clear: to equip athletes with the tools and resources they need to navigate the financial complexities of their careers and avoid the common pitfalls that lead to financial ruin. His dedication to financial literacy stems from his own experiences and a deep-seated desire to ensure that every athlete is prepared to thrive both on and off the field.
