Practical prompts for calm, prepared conversations.
These checklists are starting points for student-athletes and families. They do not replace school guidance or qualified professional advice.
Family decision readiness
Use these prompts before a major conversation or program decision.
- What matters most to our family this season?
- Who should be included before we respond or commit?
- What questions do we still need answered?
Personal-brand basics
Keep a public profile age-appropriate, accurate, and aligned with your goals.
- Does this profile reflect how I want to show up?
- Have we removed details that do not need to be public?
- Can a parent or guardian review it with me?
Camp & workshop preparation
Prepare for learning opportunities without pressure to make a decision on the spot.
- What do I want to learn or ask?
- What can wait until after we discuss it as a family?
- What notes should we bring home to review?
School & state confirmation
Use these prompts to locate current, qualified guidance before taking action.
- Who at our school or program can confirm the current policy?
- Which state or association rules apply to our situation?
- What questions should a qualified legal or tax professional answer?
Confirm rules before you act.
School, state, association, and program rules can change. Confirm current requirements with your school or state authority. Seek qualified legal or tax advice when a question calls for it.
