Hey everyone I’m about to go and talk to different businesses and see how it goes. Should let them keep the paper lol or do I just let them look? This feels like a silly question but I’m still going to ask😂.

Happy Sunday, family! I hope everyone is staying warm and getting some rest as we head into a new week. I wanted to give you all a quick update, I’ll be heading out of the country and will be back Friday, so I won’t be coaching tomorrow night. That said, we have a special guest joining the call who is going to bring a TON of value, so please be sure to tune in at 7 PM like usual. You definitely don’t want to miss this session. I will still be checking in while I’m away, it may be at some random times because of the 6-hour time difference, but I’ll pop in whenever I can. Also, please remember: Origin Story videos are still due by tomorrow. I’m still expecting everyone to complete the assignment. And yes, I will still be giving feedback, advice, and guidance on your Origin Story videos while I’m away. Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop about what’s temporarily happening. Let’s stay consistent, stay locked in, and keep building.

Family, I want to share an article that highlights how much the business of college sports is changing right now, especially around NIL and revenue. The big picture is simple: College sports are becoming more expensive to operate, NIL has changed how athletes get paid, and schools are trying to figure out how to make everything sustainable long term. This article touches on three important things happening at the same time: 1. NIL has completely changed the financial model of college sports. Athletes can now earn money from their name, image, and likeness, which didn’t exist a few years ago. Schools are still adjusting to what that means financially. 2. There is growing national conversation about whether the current system works long term. Some leaders believe the system needs clearer rules, better structure, or changes to how revenue is shared. That means NIL rules could continue to evolve. 3. Schools are exploring new ways to fund athletics. One example mentioned is universities partnering with private investors to help support athletic departments as costs rise. This shows how serious the financial shift has become. What does this mean for athletes and parents? • NIL is not going away, but it will likely become more structured • Education and compliance matter more than ever • Athletes who understand branding, contracts, and long-term planning will be better protected • Families who stay informed won’t be caught off guard by changes This is why I constantly stress building a real brand and treating NIL like a business, not just chasing quick money. I encourage you to read the full article to understand the direction college sports is moving and why staying educated matters. 📖 Read the full article here: https://www.deseret.com/sports/2025/12/12/nil-college-sports-donald-trump-disaster-revenue-sharing-utah-private-equity/ We’ll keep breaking topics like this down inside the community so you’re prepared, informed, and protected.

Quick reminder to get your Origin Story posted by Monday. I know everyone is busy, schedules, practices, games, life, I get it. But I want to be very clear about something: The only way you actually learn and grow your brand is by APPLYING what you’re learning through real content. Watching the lesson isn’t enough. Taking notes isn’t enough. Thinking about it isn’t enough. Growth happens when you press record. Please don’t sleep on this opportunity. Your Origin Story is the foundation of: - Your brand - Your positioning - Your confidence - Your NIL opportunities And one more important thing, I’ll be sharing these on our social media, which means this is also a great opportunity for extra exposure for you and your athlete. This is how visibility is built. This is how confidence grows. This is how momentum starts. Post your Origin Story. Show up for yourself. Let’s keep building.

I did have chat help me with some of this but I made it more humanized. If you have feedback I am all ears for criticism or etc.
