Beyond the Game

NIL Coaching to Help Student-Athletes Develop Essential Life Skills

As a coach or athletic administrator, you have a unique opportunity – as well as a responsibility – to help your student-athletes develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in all areas of life, not just on the field.

We’ve condensed hundreds of hours of life skills content from some of the leading NIL and business thought leaders in the country to form the basis of our coaching program. Our support is scheduled around the lives of student-athletes, so they can prioritize their academic and athletic efforts, while improving their skills off the field.

By fostering an environment of trust, respect, and support, you can create a culture that values the whole person, not just their athletic abilities.

What our students say

Beyond NIL, the course helps players understand the "why" behind their story, how to engage with our community, establish generational wealth, and connect with like-minded brands. This course is a must for any athletes looking to prepare to thrive at the next level.

Gib Versfeld
Johns Hopkins University

The biggest thing I took away was the importance of building my personal brand. Oftentimes I am only judged for my abilities on the floor and I am not able to show them the sides of me that I want to show. I learned from the Players NIL the message that I want to send to people.

Jillian Archer
St. John's University

It’s given me confidence. And I think I give others confidence because I am not at the biggest school, so if there is another girl at a school the same size as mine or smaller, they might see me and say "oh, if she can do it, I can do it too".

With the new NIL laws, it’s essential for coaches and administrators to take a proactive approach to NIL education and support for their student-athletes.

By providing educational resources, you can help your student-athletes build financial literacy, marketing, and entrepreneurial skills that will serve them well beyond their athletic careers.

      Founder

      Welcome. I’m Mark Koesterer, founder of The Players NIL, and I have a deep passion for this work. My background includes a long and extensive relationship with the sporting industry. As a former college athlete, I have first hand experience navigating the collegiate world. As a father of college athletes, I was actively involved with supporting the requirements needed to compete at the highest level, while maintaining focus on broader life goals. As the president and CEO of Sports Studio, I helped build a successful Hollywood sports and entertainment company.

      At Sports Studio, I interacted with athletes, brands, production companies, professional sports leagues, and agents. All of this gave me expert-level experience in digital marketing, branding, production, group licensing, sponsorship, influencer marketing, apparel design and production, and fan engagement.

      It’s ALL of this collective experience that I offer, while bringing you a premier level of service that will help you reach your goals. If you would like to learn how to build your brand and maximize your NIL potential, contact me today.
