Rachel Baker (@RachRoseBaker), General Manager of Duke University Men’s Basketball, joins Sports Business Radio for a conversation from the campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Baker, who had previously worked at Nike and in the NBA and WNBA, was hired to this newly created position at Duke in June 2022. In this exclusive position, Baker specializes in helping players enhance their personal and professional skill sets, capitalize on strategic partnerships including NIL opportunities and work to support players in navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with being a student-athlete at the highest level.
Baker discusses her career path thus far, being a woman working in the sports industry, leading an elite men’s basketball program and what Duke is doing specifically to help its student-athletes with everything from navigating NIL deals to supporting their mental health. We also look inside of Duke University men’s basketball program - from how the program taps into its incredible network of Duke basketball alumni to how the Kameron Krazies secure tickets to home basketball games at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
