What it is
A network for people trying to build something in sports, run by someone who has. Rob Thompson started GamePlanU to open commercial pathways for college athletes, sports innovators and content creators. Its line: "Entrepreneurship is the New Internship." GamePlanU360 is the community, on Skool: member profiles, virtual meetups, a speaker series, pitch events and advisor office hours for student founders, career seekers, content creators, alumni, educators, investors and executives, and it's listed as free to join. The 90-Day Plan is Rob, one on one: a discovery call, then a plan for your next 90 days built around your priorities, with introductions from his network to the partners, advisors and industry people who can move it forward. Founders can apply with a pitch deck and a short video; investors get curated deal flow from vetted GamePlanU founders through the Angel Network; schools start with a discovery call.
Why it earns the pick
If you run a program, coach, or work in youth sports and you've thought about building something of your own, or moving to the business side, this is a free way into a room of sports founders, investors and executives, with a founder who will map the next 90 days with you.
