I hope you’re all enjoying your day, spending time with people you love, eating good food, resting, and recharging. And today, I want to give you something special to show how grateful I am for every parent, athlete, and coach in this community. I just created our brand-new Level 1 Community Course and as a Thanksgiving gift, it’s now available for you inside the “Classroom” tab at the top of the page. This is perfect for parents and athletes who aren’t in our NIL-Ready Fast Track program yet (paying $950/year), but still want a structured way to grow. Inside Level 1, your athlete will learn how to: ✅ Build their brand from the ground up ✅ Understand what makes them unique and marketable ✅ Position themselves for NIL opportunities ✅ Start learning how to turn their brand into a long-term business ✅ Build posting consistency and confidence ✅ Complete guided assignments that actually move them forward This is the first of six community courses (Level 1–6) that you and your athlete can work through together. It’s a slower, foundational journey, but it’s powerful, and it works. 🎉 And here’s the good news… EVERYONE in this community is currently on Level 1. So if you’re new, overwhelmed, or starting from scratch, you are exactly where you need to be. Level 1 is designed for athletes who are: 1. Learning how to build a brand from scratch 2. Still figuring out consistent posting 3. Haven’t landed a paid deal yet 4. Unsure what content to create 5. Needing structure, clarity, and support If you feel like your athlete is NOT a Level 1 athlete, meaning they already have deals, consistent content, and a solid brand, please let us know. Level 2 will be released soon. ✨ Final thing… Take your time. Ask questions. Use this community. Post your assignments so we can guide you. You and your athlete are not doing this alone, we’re building this step-by-step, together. Happy Thanksgiving, and I cannot wait to see your athlete’s Level 1 homework inside the community. 🧡🏆

What tools or professional resources would you find most helpful (lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, workshops)? What role do you think parents can play in building a healthy NIL culture?
