THINKNIL – Intro course

Course Overview

Think NIL is a practical, mindset-first course for high school student-athletes that reframes NIL as more than money. Students learn who they are, what they stand for, and how to turn that into a powerful personal brand and college-ready NIL résumé—while also gaining age-appropriate financial literacy skills to handle future opportunities responsibly.

By the end of the course, each student will walk away with:

• A clear understanding of their identity, values, and “why”
• A personal Athlete Brand Statement grounded in character, not hype
• A college-ready NIL résumé that highlights academics, athletics, leadership, and financial responsibility
• A Future Self NIL Vision Board & Financial Blueprint
• A NIL Financial Responsibility Plan and Personal Leadership Contract
• Confidence to navigate NIL, money, and social media with integrity

Ideal For

• High school student-athletes (any sport)
• Athletic programs, clubs, travel teams, and youth organizations
• Parents and coaches who want their athletes prepared for the NIL era
