What it is
A professional development partner for athletic programs: career readiness, financial literacy and mental performance for student-athletes, built to sit inside NCAA and NIL rules, on the premise that most of them won't turn pro. GuardNIL University is the family-facing version, a parent-controlled NIL readiness and life-skills platform for K–12 athletes. Josh Woods is the founder.
Why it earns the pick
NIL reached high school before most families had a plan for it. GuardNIL is building the curriculum a program can hand a 15-year-old and a parent before the first deal, not after.
