Education first

Practical financial literacy, built for the way athletes actually earn.

Created by NIL financial experts, the Playbook complements agents, collectives, and campus resources rather than competing with them. The focus is clarity and confidence around taxes, cash flow, and long-term planning, so you can focus on your sport and your studies.
