Who We Are

Through workshops, seminars, and one-on-one consultations, they provide athletes and their families with comprehensive information about NIL rights, potential revenue streams, and the legal aspects involved. The High School Advisory team empowers athletes to make informed decisions, safeguard their interests, and seize the opportunities presented by NIL while ensuring compliance with governing rules and regulations.You might talk about your origin story, your team, highlight awards or recognitions, or share photos. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this. The way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
