Chauntiel won a Young Entrepreneur Award in 2020. She and Capture Sports Agency have achieved much since then. Read on …
Champion and Scholar
Let’s start with a great personal achievement. Chauntiel now has more National Champion rings than she has fingers! 3 for personal championships while running track and 8 for team championships as a track coach at Indiana Tech. She’s humble and would never brag about this, but as her hoodie says, “Judged by achievements” - and on that basis, Chauntiel is truly a champion!
In addition to that, Chauntiel is a few classes away from completing her Masters degree in Sports Law from Arizona State University.
A champion athlete AND a scholar - what a great combination!
A Sports Agency That Gives Back
Her business, Capture Sports Agency, is growing. As a female agent in a predominantly male field (her agent mentors are male), Chauntiel has found ways to stand out. Capture now represents two athletes, 1 pro and 1 collegiate. But it does much, much more than that for young athletes and aspiring sports industry professionals!
Capture’s inaugural Sports Marketing Conference recently concluded. A two-day virtual event, it brought together students with brand marketers, team marketing managers, and athlete relations professionals from organizations including the Indiana Fever, Las Vegas Aces, Spalding, UnderAmour, and the NFL. The conference did not only cater to athletes, but also to students seeking sports marketing careers. Beside listening to online workshop sessions, the participants were able to have personal mentoring sessions.
Other conferences, for different sports professions are in the works. Aspiring Sports Media professionals and aspiring Sports Finance professionals, stay tuned!
For aspiring young athletes, Capture has held a summer camp for 1st graders to 8th grade students every year. This year, on June 11, Capture’s “You Can’t Stop Me Camp” featured local Leslie Johnson. A Northrop and Purdue graduate, Leslie has played professionally both overseas and with the WNBA.
As if that isn’t enough, Chauntiel’s husband and business partner, Desmond along with Juwuan Stewart, produce a podcast about all aspects of athletics business. Go browse the 52 (probably more by now) episodes of Capturing the Game - and subscribe for more!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Chauntiel for some very remarkable entrepreneurial growth and for that great spirit of giving back to the community!
