“Part of their education can be learning to be entrepreneurs and learning how to market themselves and also learning how to operate in the business world and learning how to speak in public. … The positives are a simple thing like a basketball player in the summertime going to speak at a camp. Speaking in front of 400 campers and doing a presentation and a skill instruction and getting paid. To me, that is a great lifetime experience. It’s a great educational experience.” -Jay Wright.

NIL is coming, people. July 1st, we will begin to see the new wave of student-athlete entrepreneurs and leaders. It won't be perfect, but it will be a significant step in the right direction for student-athletes and schools in general. More opportunity for these players to learn and grow as human beings. More than an athlete, right? Well, it's time we start seeing that first hand. I can't wait to start working with some of my fellow student-athletes after NIL takes effect. 

This is an example of how beneficial it could be for some players. Our amazing client cliffordtayloriv stopped playing college football for the Florida Gators, but while he was playing, he built up a fan base and story that attached to hundreds of thousands of people. Since bringing Cliff on board with Raymond Rep, he has worked with over ten new companies and counting, told his incredible story on a handful of different podcasts, and is starting to collab with other outstanding athlete influencers. Social Media is just the foundation, but the ability to give back to your community, follow your passions, and turn your hobbies and interest into business opportunities will be incredible. Clifford is a prime example and a fantastic human being! Keep grinding, my man.
