Ep. 155: University of Georgia AD Josh Brooks
What does the future of college sports really look like—and how will it impact youth and high school athletes? In Part 2 of this series, What’s Going On in College Sports?, we sit down with Josh Brooks, Athletic Director at University of Georgia, to discuss the rapidly changing landscape of college athletics—from NIL and the transfer portal to recruiting, roster building, and long-term athlete development. Josh reflects on his journey from college equipment manager under Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher to leading one of the top athletic programs in the country, while also sharing honest insight into parenting in youth sports, the pressure surrounding young athletes today, and why development, fit, and identity matter far more than wins, rankings, or short-term success.
