Welcome to the NIL Prep Kit!
My name is Dr. Scott Grant. and I've spent my entire 20 + career in education as a teacher. coach. high school athletic director. college athletics administrator at the Division I and II levels. business leadership &. educational policy professor. and an educational consultant owning &. operating Triple Threat Leadership. LLC and NIL -Education.com.
Over the past few years. I've witnessed the shortcomings of biased education that fails to serve high school stakeholders. and have developed a deep passion for demystifying the complex landscape of Name. Image, and Likeness. specifically in regards to INTERSCHOLASTIC EDUCATIONAL BASED ATHLETICS.
Because of this. I am thrilled to present "The NIL Prep Kit," a first of it's kind. one stop shop for all things NIL education related.
Drawing from my extensive experience in high school athletics and my doctoral expertise in educational policy, I have crafted this NIL guide to serve as your go-to resource. My hope is that this resource will empower you with the knowledge. tools. and strategies needed to effectively navigate the High School NIL landscape and support your student-athletes in understanding NIL. their opportunities. while also protecting their rights.
The NIL Prep Kit will guide you through the fundamental principles of NIL. exploring topics such as state NIL policies. example NIL deals. frequently asked questions. legal considerations. compliance guidelines. as well as the impact of collectives and online marketplaces. By providing practical examples. case studies. and actionable advice. I aim to equip you with the necessary insights to create a supportive environment that fosters a deeper understanding of how to lead in this new normal.
This resource pushes beyond theoretical concepts by offering tangible steps and customizable templates that can be implemented within a high school program. or as an individual.
The primary objective is to empower and equip you with a clear understanding of NIL at the High School Level. and whether you hold a specific role or have a particular goal. this resource will ensure you are ready to move forward with confidence in what we call the Triple Threat Position ready to Add Value. Build Relationships. and Create Opportunities.
Together. let us embrace the challenge of comprehending and embracing Name. Image. and Likeness at the high school level in order to best prepare an educational plan that supports our stakeholders in a positive way no matter what path they choose in this "new normal."
