For those who may be thinking (if your not college sports fans) what is this guy writing about? Well, NIL is Name Images and Likeness in college sports where college athletes across the board (and yes even 45 high school in the US have passed) can make money off of their Names, Images and Likeness. And here is something that is going to come up next with AI (mark my words). The Lawyers in NIL deals (I initially coined the phrase Now Its Legal back in 2019) are going to be starting to write language around AI in sports contracts and who wants to bet that this will be a way to bring AI in (after the initial contract) and then either nix the contract or try and re-do it by using AI instead of the real athlete. Just thought ya might enjoy chewing on that one.

@Kiana Raymond Hi Kiana. I see it almost like a Venn diagram in this area. with many overarching ways. First of course you have the Lawyer/sports agent writing a contract with AI language in it - and I think if a Lawyer does this- they should let the other parties know what parts of the contract were AI written. Then we have the brand managers who of course have their own view of AI- and how AI generated NIL is allowed to be put in place and then the athlete (and parents just looking at the bag (money) they are getting. Sadly, since we know most families dont know much about contracts (again because of the bag of money) they'll make a quick decision not knowing the back end of the deal. Not knocking AI but I can see a potential issue where a brand manager tells an athletes- hey don't worry about going to that event today in person, we'll just use AI (and then the event will cry foul). There is a No Fakes Act working its way through Congress (which is the last place this shold be) but then the K-Street lobbyists gotta get their "bag" right?

End of Week Check-In: How’s Your January Momentum?

Be honest with yourself for a second. Is your momentum still there…Or has life already started pulling you in different directions? This is usually the week where the noise comes back. Work speeds up. Schedules fill. Responsibilities take over. And most people assume that means they’re “losing motivation.” You’re not. You’re just being tested. January doesn’t ask if you’re inspired. It asks if you’re intentional. So here’s your real check-in: Did you move forward this week, even a little? Did you keep at least one promise you made to yourself? Did you act like the version of you you said you were becoming? If yes—good. That’s momentum. If no—also good. Awareness is where change starts. You don’t need to restart. You don’t need to judge the week. You just need to decide how you’re setting the next one. Small course corrections. Clear priorities. One aligned action. That’s how momentum survives real life beyond the New Years Resolution. Drop one word in the comments that describes how this week actually felt.

FOCUSED! I literally just pinned a New Years FOCUSED word Each letter means something I did a Shirt many years ago for all the high school athletes and yes even one for the Parents to help remind them not just about the New Years resolution, but to say to them (when they bought the shirt) that "if you wear this ON your chest- it better be IN your actions.

do you use polite language like

I’m curious: do you use polite language like “please” and “thank you” when communicating with AI tools? Playful

Yes I do both. Why not? If Chat is helping me with an issue or a course I am doing why would I not want to at least spend the 10 seconds to write 14 letters of Please and Thank you?

@Sabrina Diaz great question. I do believe that sometimes in the world of social media/on line conversations (outside of a business world setting) seems to be more driven by short messages and not communicating. For instance in my world when I am telling high school athletes that “texting” is not talking (I did build a small mini course around this) when they are trying to “communicate effectively” with a college coach. Sadly I do blame many of the parents and yes the high schools that sadly don’t teach effective communication skills (and I mean talking and listening instead of just using two thumbs- or worse just cutting and pasting a text from one coach (or worse a coach to a recruit).

Introduction...

Hello Everyone! My name is Marc Nolan and am a retired CEO of a software consulting firm and the CEO of the best part-time job I've held 51 years (and counting)- training NFL, College and HS football kickers and Punters (and yes many of the kicking specialists' you see on Friday nights, Saturdays and Sunday- but no name dropping). With SKOOL, I serve the High School Parents of the athletes trying to understand the CHAOS of what the NCAA is doing and I bring CLARITY to them. Cool fun fact. I also firewalked with Tony Robbins way back in NYC in 1986 which was one of those great moments you never forget!
