Why We Started NextUp Athletes
At NextUp Athletes, our mission is clear — to empower young athletes to take control of their digital presence and build a strong personal brand that creates real opportunities both on and off the field.
How NextUp Athletes Helps
For today’s young athletes, talent alone isn’t enough. In a world where social media and visibility matter more than ever, building a strong personal brand has become essential — especially for high school athletes.
Building Your Brand in High School
For young athletes today, building a strong personal brand isn’t optional — it’s essential. Your athletic performance will always matter, but in today’s digital world, how you present yourself online can make or break future opportunities.
Perks of a Strong Personal Brand
For many young athletes, the goal is clear — make it to college, compete at the next level, and see how far their talent can take them. But what happens after the final game?
That’s where your personal brand becomes even more important.
Your Instagram Highlights
The days of relying solely on game film and stat sheets to get noticed are over.
Today, your social media presence is just as important as your performance on the field. And for most young athletes, that starts with one platform — Instagram.
NIL Isn’t Just for D1 Stars
When people think about NIL opportunities for athletes, they usually picture five-star recruits and D1 superstars. But the truth is, you don’t have to be a nationally ranked athlete to benefit from NIL.
Grow your social presence and get noticed.
Athletes today work hard to stand out from their competitors. But what are you doing with your branding? With NIL deals becoming increasingly popular, are you presenting the best version of yourself to coaches, recruiters, and brands that want to support you?
NextUp Athletes helps build your professional profile so you get the exposure you need.
