The reality nobody tells you

Your career has
a window.
The wealth has to
outlast it.

NIL is the biggest financial opportunity in the history of college sports. Most athletes will waste it — not because they don't work hard, but because nobody built the system around them.

60%

Go broke

Up to 60% of former pro athletes face serious financial distress within five years of retirement. The cause is almost never the income — it's the absence of a system.

28

Average career end

Most playing careers end before age 30. The wealth you build during them has to fund the next 50 years of your life.

$50k

Cost of a real team

A traditional wealth team — agent, attorney, CPA, financial advisor — runs $50,000+ per year. Out of reach for everyone but the top 1% of earners.

What you get

Six specialists.
One operator.
Your full team.

Every member is matched with an operator who runs the engine on your behalf — six specialist agents that handle the parts of your career nobody taught you how to manage.

01 / Onboarding

Your profile & 30-day plan

One conversation, one document. We capture your sport, your goals, your numbers, and your family situation — then build a candid 30-day action plan.

02 / Audience

Followers as leverage

Your niche, three content pillars, a 30-day calendar built around practice and games. Brands pay for audience, not athletic résumés. We grow yours.

03 / Deals

NIL & brand contracts

Media kit, pitch templates, deal scorecard, contract red-flag review. We tell you when to take it, when to negotiate, and when to walk.

04 / Financial system

Don't get crushed by taxes

NIL income is self-employment income. The IRS wants ~30%. We build the budget, the tax-reserve account, the custodial Roth IRA, and the full account stack — before the surprise hits in April.

05 / Long-horizon wealth

Boring beats clever

Index investing in the right accounts at the right ages. Real estate when it makes sense. The wealth roadmap that turns your earning years into decades of compounding.

06 / Weekly cadence

Monday brief, every week

Your operator delivers a weekly pulse — what's on deck, what to film, what to sign, what to skip. The cadence that turns months of intent into years of compounding.

How it works

Three steps.
You're in by next week.

Apply

Two minutes. Tell us your sport, your level, what's already happening with your money and audience. We review every application personally.

~2 minutes

Discovery call

30-minute call with you and your family. We share what we'd build for you in the first 30 days and confirm fit. No pressure — most calls end with a clear yes or no.

Within 5 business days

The engine deploys

Your profile, diagnosis, and 30-day action plan land within 48 hours of signing. The weekly pulse starts Monday. By month two, you have a real system.

7 Things Every Athlete Must Do Before Their First NIL Check Clears.

Most athletes wait until after the money arrives. By then, the Roth IRA slot is missed, the tax surprise is coming, and the first deal is already signed without review. Get the checklist. Do it right from Day 1.

  • Open a dedicated checking account for NIL income — never mix it with personal funds
  • Set aside 30% for federal + state taxes the day each check arrives — before you spend anything
  • Open a custodial Roth IRA in the year you earn — this slot is use-it-or-lose-it forever
  • Register as self-employed — understand quarterly estimated taxes or face penalties in April
  • Get every deal in writing before you post, appear, or endorse — verbal agreements don't hold
  • Disclose every NIL deal to your school's compliance office — every time, no exceptions
  • Track every NIL-related expense as a potential deduction — mileage, equipment, content costs

Built for the whole family

A wealth team
that gets it.

We work with athletes and the people who love them — because the right financial system needs both.

For athletes

Your career,
your terms.

You're going to have a window. Make it count.

  • A real personal brand — not just a highlights account
  • Brand deals priced and negotiated like a pro, not a teen
  • A Roth IRA opened the year you earn your first NIL dollar
  • Tax setup that means no April surprise
  • The exact thing to film, post, and pitch — every week
  • A wealth plan that funds the 50 years after the playing days end

For parents

Peace of
the right mind.

Your kid is being asked to make adult financial decisions. They shouldn't make them alone.

  • Custodial accounts set up correctly — UTMA, custodial Roth, 529
  • Every contract reviewed for red flags before signing
  • NIL disclosure to the school's compliance office, every time
  • Financial transparency you can see and approve
  • A licensed CPA and attorney brought in when needed
  • An advisor whose job is to protect the family's financial future, not to chase a deal

Why now

The cost curve
just collapsed.

A team that used to take six full-time professionals — agent, attorney, CPA, financial advisor, business manager, content strategist — runs as a coordinated set of AI-native specialists. Every member gets a level of service that, until last year, didn't exist at any price under $50,000/year.

Frequently asked

Questions athletes
and families ask.

Are you a financial advisor / agent / lawyer?

No — and that's deliberate. The Athlete Wealth Engine is an advisory and operations service. When you need a registered investment adviser, CPA, or attorney for actual execution (filing taxes, signing as your fiduciary, drafting binding contracts), we bring in licensed professionals from our network. We're the team that makes sure those people get hired, briefed correctly, and held accountable on your behalf.

My kid is in high school and barely earning anything yet. Are we too early?

No — the opposite. The single biggest financial mistake young athletes make is not opening a custodial Roth IRA in the year they first earn NIL income — even a small amount counts. A single $1,000 Roth contribution at age 16, well within reach from one small NIL deal, becomes roughly $43,000 at 65 at historical equity returns; an athlete earning more can contribute up to $7,000 and see proportionally more. That contribution slot is use-it-or-lose-it forever, so working with us before the money arrives — even if it's not much yet — is when the leverage is highest.

What does it actually cost?

Founding Members pay $199/month — locked for life. We launched with 100 Founding Member spots at $199/mo (vs. the standard $300/mo). Once those spots are gone, they're gone — and Founding Members keep that rate forever, regardless of what we charge new members. Standard membership is $300/month once Founding spots close. An Elite tier ($997/mo) is available for athletes earning $25,000+/year — quoted on the discovery call. Annual billing saves you $900/year. No commissions, no AUM fees, no kickbacks from any brand or financial product.

How is this different from an agent?

Agents work on commission — typically 15-20% of every deal. They're paid to close deals, not to walk away from bad ones. We're paid a flat fee, which means we'll tell you to walk away when the deal isn't worth it. We're also broader: an agent gets you deals; we build the audience that makes you valuable, the financial system that protects what you earn, and the wealth plan that lasts your lifetime.

Will this affect my NCAA eligibility?

Working with an advisor on NIL strategy, financial planning, and personal-brand work is fully permitted under NCAA rules. We work alongside your school's compliance officer on every deal disclosure to make sure everything stays clean. If your sport, school, or state has a specific rule we need to navigate, we surface it on the discovery call.

What sports do you work with?

All of them. The engine is sport-agnostic — football, basketball, baseball, softball, gymnastics, swimming, track, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, wrestling, golf, tennis, hockey, and more. The frameworks (audience, deals, financial, wealth) apply universally; the playbooks adapt to the specific sport's market dynamics.

What if I'm not sure I want to commit yet?

Apply anyway. The discovery call is free and there's no pressure to sign. You'll walk away with a clearer view of where you are and what the highest-leverage moves look like — useful even if you decide we're not the right fit.

What's your guarantee?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Complete your onboarding, receive your 30-day action plan, and work with your operator for a full month. If at the end of that month you don't believe we've built real, measurable value into your financial life — we'll refund your first month, no questions asked. We're confident enough in what we deliver to put it in writing. Most members see tangible progress (Roth IRA opened, tax reserve account set up, content calendar built, first deal reviewed) within the first two weeks.

Who's behind this?

The Athlete Wealth Engine is operated by a small team of advisors, builders, and former athletes, using a proprietary AI-native operating system that lets one operator deliver the depth of work that used to require a six-person team — which is what makes the price point possible.
