After spending 25 years helping run various sports holdings under the Ryan Sanders Sports & Entertainment umbrella, JJ Gottsch made a jump to professional bull riding in February of this year. He’s heading up the Austin Gamblers, one of the eight founding franchises of the new PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Team Series.
JJ Gottsch played a key role in the development of both the Round Rock Express (Houston Astros Triple-A) and Corpus Christi Hooks (Astros Double-A). He ran all business operations for the Express, RS3 Turf, RS3 Strategic Hospitality, and the company’s growing entertainment division. Gottsch was president of the Hooks for the club’s first five years, where his leadership and experience helped them draw more than two million fans in their first four seasons.
