I named this newsletter No Blueprint because there is NO blueprint in the sports world. There are 500 ways to the top and I look forward to sharing some of those with you.

NIL tip: Take advantage of your homecoming weekend. Plenty of alums are flooding the campus. Try to set up an event of 100 people while you have everyone there. Set a target goal of what you want to raise and let it be known.
III
Networking tip: Whoever you meet at homecoming get their number. Sounds simple but people will have conversations and never ask for contact info. Break that habit.

A quote from my mentor: “Everything you want is on the other side of 8 hard months. No need to give up. Keep pushin.”
Double check your directions
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!!
Back when I was a DOBO, I planned the trips out in advance like anyone else would do. One thing I missed on this trip was that the highways were not normal . That being said when we woke up to head to the game I got to the bus early and the driver told me it was going to be about 45 mins to the arena.
I said there must be a mistake, there’s no way, look at my GPS it says 15 minutes. He then responded with, “yes son, for cars. But this bus is not allowed on that highway so we need to take a different route.”
As you can imagine my heart started going crazy. I caused the pregame routine to be behind by 30 minutes. Long story short, check the highways!!
PS: WE WON THE GAME.
As always thank you for reading
