REPS: character for young athletes

One-on-one coaching with Hugo, ages 14 and up. Eight sessions on character on and off the field, and the traps waiting for young athletes today: the feed, the shortcut, the bet, the scam, and the first check.

Represent, Earn, Protect, Stay true

The eight sessions

  1. Week 1

    Who You Are Without the Jersey

    Your sport is something you do, not all of who you are. You name what you stand for, so it holds after a loss, a bad season, or the last game.

    They keepMy standard, in one sentence

  2. Week 2

    Your Feed Represents You

    Coaches, schools, and sponsors can see what you post, share, and say in the comments. You audit your own accounts and set a rule for what goes up from here.

    They keepThe 10-second post check

  3. Week 3

    Truth When It Costs You

    Telling the truth is easy when it's free. You practice owning a mistake out loud, early, before someone else tells the story for you.

    They keepOwn it in three sentences

  4. Week 4

    No Shortcuts

    A supplement that promises size. A bet, even on a pro game. You learn how either one can cost a college athlete their eligibility, and how to say no without losing the room.

    They keepCheck before you take it

  5. Week 5

    Protect Your Name

    Fake offers, texts asking for your verification code, and people who turn a photo into a threat. You learn the warning signs and the plan if it happens: it's not your fault, don't pay, keep the messages, tell an adult you trust, and report it.

    They keepMy if-this-happens plan

  6. Week 6

    Protect Your Money

    The first real check goes faster than anyone expects. You split one on paper, taxes first (gear and gift cards from a deal generally count as income too), then saving, then spending, and practice saying no to the people who show up asking.

    They keepThe first-check split

  7. Week 7

    Make It Last

    The earlier money is invested, the longer it can grow. You see how compound growth works, look honestly at the odds of playing pro, and build a plan that doesn't depend on it.

    They keepMy make-it-last plan

  8. Week 8

    Stay True: Your Circle

    Agents, advisers, new friends. You learn the questions to ask before anyone handles your name or your money, pick the adults you trust, and leave with a written plan.

    They keepMy REPS game plan
