NIL (Name Image & Likeness) has allowed me to get a head start on my entrepreneurial journey while I’m still a student-athlete.
I’ve met so many amazing people and experimented with new ventures. I’ve learned many skills, from negotiation to how to start a direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand. I’ve enjoyed creating innovative sponsored videos for companies and sharing a message of playfulness in sports.
My favorite NIL opportunity so far has been launching a gymnastics game business.
If it weren’t for NIL, hundreds of gymnasts around the country wouldn’t have been able to enjoy playing the game of Balance Palace!
Moving forward, I’m excited to work together with other athletes and businesses to make the NIL space even better through the launch of NIL Island, a brand-new community for athletes pursuing NIL opportunities!
There have been natural challenges along the way, and I’ve become savvier through each. Overall, NIL has challenged my creativity and boosted my chances of future success. I can’t wait to see what’s next!”
