GIVE ATHLETE CAREER GAMEPLAN™ SCHOLARSHIPS to STUDENT-ATHLETES
The Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) movement has been a long-overdue victory, one that student-athletes have rightfully earned through their all-in commitment—mind, body, soul, health, and countless hours on the grind.
While the focus has been on scoring financial rewards like cars, products, services, and MONEY, the industry is starting to realize their playbook needs more. It’s not just about the immediate financial rewards but also about equipping student-athletes with the tools they need to succeed in their first professional job search!
Why?
BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY IS WAKING UP TO THE FACT OF THE:
- Limited Pro Opportunities: A staggering 98% of student-athletes won't be drafted into professional sports, leaving them to navigate the challenging landscape of their first professional job search after graduation.
- Lack of Career Guidance: Packed schedules and the career center's limited 9-5 hours mean that many student-athletes miss out on crucial career advice, often leading to an average job search of eight months due to the absence of a solid game plan.
- Risk of Underemployment: Alarmingly, 52% of college graduates end up in jobs that don't even require a degree, leaving them struggling for years to secure positions that align with their aspirations and provide for their future.
YOU AND YOUR ALUMNI CAN FIX THAT!
