Hi, I’m
STEPHANIE
I am the CEO of Influential Athlete and founded The NIL School to teach parents and athletes how to capitalize on the new NIL industry safely and successfully.
I built this course to eliminate guesswork for families. It’s the step‑by‑step path I wish I had as an athlete — compliance first, a brand that stands out, pitch‑ready templates, and professional skills that serve for life.
Don’t take my word for it — More than 50 schools, institutions, and clubs have partnered with us because of the unmatched value we provide.

FAQs
FAQs
Is this for parents or athletes?
Both. Parents need to understand NIL just as much as their athlete. This gives you a step-by-step system to fast-track NIL success whether parents are learning for their athlete, or learning alongside.
How fast to get started?
Instant access. You will receive an email with access to The NIL School portal so you can get to learning immediately.
Will this affect eligibility?
No - even if you live in a state where high school athletes cannot make money with their NIL yet. We teach compliance, personal and professional development, so athletes can take advantage of NIL opportunities as soon as they are able.
How long is the course?
The NIL School is broken down into four phases - Navigating NIL; Build Your Personal Brand; Transform Your Personal Presence; Secure Success Beyond Your Sport - for a total of 40 videos ranging from a few minutes to 15 minutes long. We make everything we teach easy to consume and then apply.
What if my athlete is shy?
All the more reason why he or she will benefit from what we teach.
Do athletes need a big social following to be successful with NIL?
No. They need clear positioning + pro assets + targeted outreach.
Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?
We offer a 14-day Parent Copilot Guarantee: Complete the parent intro + Phase 1 - if you don't feel clear or equipped with core assets, choose a refund or 30 days of support.
