Shoutout to the following athletes who put in the time, effort, AND work to set themselves apart in their origin stories. These athletes: THEY SHOWED UP & SHARED THEIR WHY 🎤🔥 Huge shoutout to @Ryder Furtick-Williams , @Tommy Osborne , @Giovanni Vasquez , @Gianna Jones , @Winfred Porter , @Stephanie Ream, and @Olivia Cameron for confidently telling their Origin Stories and creating great content to showcase it. THEY SHOW THEY ARE MORE THAN ATHLETES 🏆💡 These stories showed the world who they are, what they stand for, and the values they bring beyond the field, court, or track. THEY SHOW WHY BRANDS SHOULD PAY ATTENTION 🤝📈 Authenticity, leadership, consistency, and real connection. These athletes showed that they know how to represent brands with purpose. AND THE SHOW THAT THIS IS NIL DONE RIGHT 🚀👟 When athletes own their story, opportunities follow. We are so proud of these athletes. Continue crushing it on tasks like these, and those doors are going to open for you. Great work!

NIL is more than a deal, and every opportunity comes with choices to make. 💼 What is the first thing you consider before saying yes to an NIL opportunity? 🤔 Personally, I would wonder “does this brand align with my values and long-term goals?” ✍️ Let us know what you consider first - your insight helps other families learn how to evaluate opportunities wisely. 🗒️

Parents and Athletes: What is one thing you wish someone explained to you earlier about NIL? 🧾 We have often heard families say they wished that they knew that deals don’t have to be huge to be valuable. 💬 What do you wish you knew earlier? Let us know here. Your insight can save another family time and stress. 👇

Whether today is your first step into NIL or you’ve been in the game for years, every athlete already has a brand. 👟 What do you want coaches or brands to think when they see your social media pages? 🤔 You may think "I want them to see consistency, leadership, and someone easy to work with". 💡 Let us know here. Commenting helps us to shape content, Coaching Calls, and NIL opportunities that match your goals. 🥅

Made this a little easier for me thanks to @Giovanni Vasquez & @Melissa Dhyne
