About Us
We are not a traditional sports agency focused solely on the use of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) to generate opportunities. We are a personal brand development company committed to supporting athletes throughout their entire life’s journey.
We believe that an athlete is more than just their athletic abilities. We prioritize the curation of personal brands that are reflective of their personalities, values, and ambitions.
Who We Are
Our leader, a former student athlete himself, has assembled a team of seasoned development experts, each specialized in a particular field.
From personal brand development and high performance coaching to negotiations support and business idea development, our team surrounds each of our athletes with the support they need to create a brand reflective of them as an individual.
