Designed to serve multiple audiences.
Depending on your role, certain sections will be more immediately relevant than others — but we encourage everyone to work through the full Playbook in sequence on the first read. Think of it as a journey, not a reference manual.
For Athletes
The goal is not merely to become a successful athlete — it's to become a successful person who happens to be an athlete.
Pay particular attention to:
- Athlete Identity & Development
- NIL Readiness

A resource for helping young athletes and families understand the broader implications of athletic opportunity.
Particular attention to:

Recommended reading approach
First Reading
Read the Playbook from beginning to end. Focus on understanding the overall journey rather than individual details. The objective is perspective.
Second Reading
Return to the sections most relevant to your current circumstances. Take notes, discuss ideas as a family, and complete any exercises or implementation activities.
Third Reading
Use the Playbook as a working reference guide — revisiting specific sections as new opportunities, challenges, or decisions arise.
Readers are encouraged to conduct regular family discussions, utilize governance templates, develop stewardship plans, establish decision-making processes, monitor progress using dashboards and scorecards, review goals periodically, and seek qualified professional guidance when appropriate.
