I’ve worked at LinkedIn for a decade.
There's a lot of bad advice floating out there on how to use LinkedIn. As a former Stanford football player, I deeply care about helping athletes get this right.
Here are the five biggest mistakes I see college athletes making:
🧵

When I was a football player at Stanford, I had a coach who was a phenomenal teacher.
What made him so great?
He understood the power of learning by teaching.

When I was a player we used to call Stanford Stadium “The Library” because it was a “nice quiet place to do work.” I want royalties if someone starts making shirts.
Stanford Stadium isn't known for being loud.
But The Farm has one of the best home field advantages in all of college football.

There's a cruel simplicity to how many athletic careers end.
Mine was no exception. I got up one morning as a football player. That night, after failing to be selected for the 2011 NFL draft (in the midst of the 2011 lockout) I was no longer a football player.
It was brutal.

The morning after the last game of the season is one of the toughest days in a coach’s life. Knowing the players, who have become like sons to you, are hurting and there isn’t a way to ease that pain in their hearts. I can’t say thank you enough! Love my guys!

Chris Dalman became the offensive line coach at Stanford in 2007.
He came to Stanford from the Atlanta Falcons, and as a player had a seven-year professional career with the San Francisco 49ers and an illustrious career at Stanford as a college player.

To prepare for a scenario where we could be called upon to teach at any moment, we had to know more than our narrow position’s assignment.
What’s the back doing?
What is the QB’s cue?
How does this scheme work as a concept vs simply a list of individual player assignments?

In football terms this is a layup: but you know that feeling of walking up to the chalkboard when your teacher calls your name? Now imagine it’s a room of 15 other hyper-competitive freaks all vying for a starting spot. My heart was pounding.

But one key factor that made him a phenomenal coach actually had nothing to do with his accolades as a player.
Coach Dalman understood the power of learning by teaching.
In the context of an offensive line meeting room, it looked like this:

Keep in mind: Chris Dalman has the equivalent of a PhD in football. Obviously he knew the answer to any problem we faced. He didn’t need our help.
But the point wasn’t to solve the problem.
The point was to help us deepen our understanding of the strategy.

Every day as a college football player there are a million things to learn:

But as I got up there and drew the front he started giving prompts:
“Who’s the back’s responsibility?”
“What if the nose slants away, what should the guard do?”
As I talked through the answers, I eventually stumbled.

Here’s what made this method brilliant: whenever that happened, he wouldn’t correct the mistake himself.
He would call on another player in the room, one of your peers, to talk you through where you went wrong.
Your peer would get a chance to deepen his own understanding.

Each week there were dozens of things we were being asked to learn.
And each week Coach Dalman would cold call a random player to come to the board and teach.
I’ll never forget the first time it happened to me: “Alright AP, draw up 3-Jet protection against a 25 front.”

The value created by learning out loud is enormously relevant today.
I talk to professionals all the time who have anxiety about sharing their expertise. They dress it up in imposter syndrome and not feeling like they’re truly an “expert.”

Lots of pro athletes on X, but relatively few are on LinkedIn.
That’s a missed opportunity.
Linkedin has an outsized ability to affect:
-Brand building outside the sport
-Advocacy for charities
-Career building once the cleats are hung up.
Seems like a miss.

deals are great. I’m 100% for players owning their intellectual and physical assets and profiting from them.
But here’s a bit of hard truth:
For most players, the second you’re no longer an athlete is the second sponsors don’t give a shit about you.

The same is true of executives in the working world.
