The Players NIL

PlayersOnly, the all-in-one, AI-powered platform built to power the future of the sports industry, today announced an official partnership with The Players NIL, the nation’s premier educational program designed to help athletes define, grow, and sustain their personal brand in the new Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era.

🚀 It’s Here: Unlocking Influence — On-Campus Cohort What began as Launch Pad U — a hybrid leadership program bridging athletes and business students — has now evolved into a powerful new cohort model that will redefine NIL education and leadership development.

✨ Week One = A HUGE Success! Students and athletes are thrilled to finally have a REAL NIL education program—one that doesn’t just talk about NIL, but actively engages, excites, and equips them with the tools to succeed. UNLOCKING INFLUENCE is that program. 💡 The insights gained aren’t just theory. They’re actionable strategies—helping every participant design their own roadmap to what success looks like, on and off the field.

Thank you, Molloy University! 🙌 We had a fantastic Unlocking Influence kickoff this week, and I’m excited about the journey ahead. This is going to be a special project. Two of the best questions from the Sports Marketing class really stood out: 1️⃣ “I am a dancer who wants to be on Broadway. How does this help me?” 2️⃣ “I want to work in event planning. How does this help me?” The answer lies at the heart of Unlocking Influence: ✨ Building your personal brand ✨ Learning how to tell your story ✨ Developing the skills to network and connect It was eye-opening to see how these are universal skills—tools that every student, no matter their path, can benefit from. At its core, Unlocking Influence is about more than NIL or sports marketing. It’s about unlocking your influence over your own future. 🚀
