How did we get here…

Tammi Gaw has been a part of the sports landscape for over 20 years. Beginning her career as an athletic trainer at the University of Oklahoma, Tammi brought her experience as a competitive gymnast to the sports medicine world, working at both the high school and Division I university levels. As one of only a handful of professionals licensed as both an attorney and an athletic trainer, Tammi's unique and unconventional career has included in-house counsel positions, non- profit management and board participation, and C-suite level work with integrated planning for large and medium scale sporting events.

Tammi's expertise extends to the business of college sports, including name, image, and likeness (NIL) reform, Title IX, and medical welfare for athletes of all levels. Through Advantage Rule, Tammi combines her extensive experience in sports medicine, business, and law with her passion for advocacy. Whether on the field, in the board room and executive suite, or advocating for client groups seeking access to long term medical care for former athletes, Tammi brings invaluable insight and perspective.

Tammi is an international speaker and lecturer on issues around sports business, law, medicine, and social justice, and has been featured in a variety of news outlets, podcasts, panels, and publications.

Additionally, she was privileged to address the UK Parliament in 2009. Tammi authored a course which covers legal aspects of sports medicine that is used by Athletic Training professors, and co-hosted two seasons of the Business ATvantage podcast to educate athletic trainers about the legal aspects of their careers. She is a published author and continues to write in both fiction and non-fiction genres. When not traveling, she splits her time between Glasgow, Scotland and Washington D.C.
