Preparation begins before the first deal.

Athletes do not have to wait for a large following or a brand offer to start learning. A clear story, good communication, professional habits, and an understanding of basic NIL terms can help them recognize an opportunity that fits.

NIL fundamentals

Learn what an NIL opportunity may involve and which questions to ask before accepting one.

Brand development

Build an athlete identity that reflects interests, values, goals, and life beyond basketball.

Business readiness

Practice professional communication, understand deliverables, and follow through on commitments.

Start learning

Questions worth exploring

Before the first offer

What does the athlete know about NIL? Which school policies may apply? Who can help the family evaluate an opportunity?

Before building a brand

Can the athlete explain who they are beyond their statistics? Does their online presence support the story they want to tell?

Before signing

What work is required? How will the athlete be paid? How long can the business use their image? Should an attorney review the agreement?

Learning should lead to a useful next step.

Choose the type of support that fits your situation.

Five questions to ask before an NIL agreement

Who is offering the opportunity, and what is its business purpose?
What must the athlete do, and what are the deadlines?
How and when will the athlete be paid?
How can the business use the athlete's name, image, and content?
What school reporting and professional review are needed?

This is a starting point for education. The answers depend on the athlete's situation and the actual agreement.
