In this episode of the Off-Field Players Podcast, we have an awesome informational interview with recent On-Field Player turned Off-Field Player, the one and only, Hind Abdelouahid. A Sacramento native, Hind comes from a family of athletes and an upbringing from her family's roots in France. Hind's father, Tariq Abdul-Wahad moved to the U.S. to play college basketball, later becoming the first French player to play in the NBA when he was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 1997. Tariq's impact on the game pioneered the influx of the French NBA stars we see today such as Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, Nicolas Batum, and the young French players recently selected in the 2024 NBA Draft. Following his basketball career, Tariq would help Hind in her On-Field Player journey in the sport of tennis. Hind started tennis in her early teens which is considered relatively late to begin playing the sport in her words. However, she trained and worked her way to earn a tennis scholarship to Saint Mary's College while also competing on the pro circuit playing in different countries all over the world. As of 2023, Hind stepped away from tennis to pursue her other passion, social media content. Hind has gained a following through her content creation on Instagram and TikTok through UGC (User-Generated Content) brand marketing and sports content. In a full circle moment, her social media skills led to her landing a seasonal internship with the same team that drafted her father as a Digital Intern. In perfect timing to highlight Hind's French-American upbringing, we chat with Hind about the excitement of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics and the storylines people are looking forward to following later this summer. Hind has made a smooth transition from being an On-Field Player turned Off-Field Player within an entire calendar year possessing a great talent for content creation through social media as she continues to set the bar high. In an action packed informational interview, we talk with Hind about Paris 2024, being raised by a pro athlete, pursuing a career in pro tennis, and her natural ability in the social media landscape as an OFP.
