Our Process
Athletes continue refining their brand, growing their platforms, and securing new opportunities. Prep remains a resource for ongoing social media management, branding updates, and partnership growth.
Phase One: Athlete Recruitment
After identifying the university’s needs, we assess which athletes require branding and social media management support. We recruit athletes into the Prep program, ensuring each participant is committed to building a strong personal brand before diving into content creation.
