Natanya Brooks joins us for Episode 106 of Sports ‘N Torts. Natanya is a lawyer in Atlanta, which of course we discussed. However, we spent the bulk of this podcast talking about her experience as a swimmer who through hard work, grit, and dedication earned a scholarship to swim collegiately at Georgia Tech. Swimming has had a profound effect on her life and has installed the values that set her up for success in life.
We had a great discussion about youth sports. Natanya talked about how to maximize the youth sports experience for children while making it fun and keeping them competitive. We discuss time management, early mornings in the pool and what it takes to succeed. A former swim coach, Natanya has strong feelings on “burn out” and shares her tips on raising successful athletes.
We talked about when she realized that college swimming was a possibility and her recruitment process. Natanya talked about her college experience to include the connections made and how it prepared her for business and her law practice. We talked about the different trips she has taken involving swimming and being in the water.
In 2018, Natanya founded Brooks Injury Law to have the opportunity to make a real difference in the life of others. Natanya wanted to bring individuals and families out of despair through recovery and to work with families to honor and comfort those who are not able to recover from their injuries.
Natanya has implemented different marketing strategies and has followed the growth. Her goal for Brooks Injury Law was to always be able to help clients in need. As clients began to ask for help in different areas of personal injury law, instead of turning them away, she decided to expand our team. She was always well-equipped to handle road wrecks but as premises cases like negligent security shootings came in, we were able to bring in additional attorneys to handle the complex legal issues and appellate work that comes with those cases. Next, a medical malpractice branch was added to the firm, followed by a products, civil rights, and class action practice area. She has done just that with her firm now employing 9 lawyers and 25+ staff.
