Lesson 6 of 6

What to actually do right now

So if your kid can’t cash in yet, what’s the move? Build the only two things that turn into NIL money later:

  • Get great on the field. NIL follows production. Nobody pays a name nobody’s heard of.
  • Protect your eligibility and your grades — the gate to playing in college, where the money actually is.
  • Build your film and your verified numbers (your FITE Card) — that’s the asset that gets you recruited.
  • Stay clean. One bad deal or a lost season of eligibility costs more than any check you’d have gotten now.

The bottom line

The best NIL strategy for a Texas high schooler is to become undeniable and stay eligible. Do that, and the money is waiting on the other side — legally, and a lot bigger.

Coach Fite

I went through the part where the system felt rigged against me so you don’t have to. Keep your head in the books and your numbers on the field. The check comes to the kid who’s still standing when it’s actually allowed.

You finished NIL, Decoded

Now put it to work. Get measured, get on film, get recruited.
