Free Download · NIL Playbook + Tracker
Run your NIL like a professional operation.
Most NIL value is lost to disorganization — unclear deliverables, missed reporting, forgotten payments, and deals accepted before anyone read the terms. This playbook gives athletes, parents, coaches, and organizations one system to organize opportunities, protect eligibility, and build long-term value.
- 8-page fillable playbook + tracker
- Opportunity pipeline and fit scorecard
- Ohio high school (OHSAA) and college organization checks
- Deal terms capture, money plan, and 30-day action plan
Prepared athletes protect their value.
What's inside
Eleven sections. One organized system.
Every section is fillable and repeatable — designed to be used on your next real opportunity, not read once and filed away.
NIL Value Snapshot
Define what you want to be known for, the values behind your brand, your strongest audience, and what you can actually teach or create.
Brand Asset Checklist
Profiles, bio, headshots, media kit, stats, awards, leadership, and community involvement — organized in one place.
Opportunity Pipeline
Track every lead from first contact to paid: Lead → Contacted → Conversation → Offer → Review → Signed → Delivering → Paid → Complete.
Opportunity Fit Scorecard
Score any offer 1–5 on values fit, deliverable clarity, fair compensation, long-term brand value, schedule load, and usage rights.
Before I Say Yes + Eligibility Checks
A slow-down checklist plus separate Ohio high school (OHSAA) and college compliance prompts before you sign, post, or accept anything.
Deal Terms Capture
Compensation, deliverables, deadlines, usage period, platforms, exclusivity, ownership, approvals, cancellation — and your open red flags.
Deliverables + Money Plan
Submission and payment tracker, plus a plan that gives every dollar a job: taxes, school, training, savings, reinvestment.
Insight Log + 30-Day Action Plan
Market intelligence log, monthly review questions, four-week execution plan, outreach targets, and a contact sheet.
Built for everyone at the table.
Athletes
Stop waiting to be discovered. Organize your brand, judge offers on real criteria, and build value deliberately.
Parents + Advisors
One document to review together so decisions get made calmly, in writing, before anyone signs or posts.
Coaches + Athletic Directors
A neutral, educational organization tool you can hand a full roster without becoming the compliance department.
Businesses + Organizations
Clear deliverables, usage rights, and timelines make athlete partnerships simpler to scope, approve, and repeat.
Rolling this out to a program or organization?
NIL exposes the same pressure the scoreboard does — attention, money, obligations, and public judgment on top of competing. IBE Performance works with schools, clubs, athletic departments, and businesses to pair this organization tool with the mental performance work behind it: focus, composure, identity, and how a group handles opportunity and adversity.
How the work is scoped
- 01Measure
Scorecard and profile establish a real baseline before anything is recommended.
- 02Identify
We name what pressure actually exposes — individually and across the group.
- 03Build
Education sessions, pathways, and tools matched to the demands you carry.
- 04Track
Progress is reviewed and reassessed, not assumed.
