Quick question for everyone in the community: 👉 What do you think matters MORE for NIL opportunities right now—talent or personal brand? Why do you feel that way? There’s no wrong answer, but the explanation is where the learning happens. Drop your thoughts below and let’s sharpen each other’s mindset. 💡 (Parents—feel free to answer from your perspective too.) Let’s keep building 💪🏽

Most student-athletes don’t lose NIL money because they aren’t good enough — they lose it because they aren’t positioned correctly. Brands don’t pay for highlights. They pay for: - Consistency (posting weekly, not randomly) - Clarity (what sport, what audience, what values) - Reach + trust (even a small but engaged following beats big numbers) 👉 An athlete with 1,500 engaged followers and a clear personal brand can land deals faster than someone with 15K followers and no identity. Action Step for Today: Have your athlete answer this in one sentence: “I help ___ by ___ through ___.” That sentence becomes the foundation for bios, DMs, pitches, and NIL deals.

Let’s invite about 10 others each yall! We can build this community and really help each other.
