There are plenty of supplement type things that help with my performance and have really aligned with my lifestyle in that regard . So that nil space has been awesome and I think it's just managing it . There's a lot of really good platforms out there that allow student athletes to find nil deals or search up and match with companies that best fit their interests .
So that nil space has been awesome and I think it's just managing it . There's a lot of really good platforms out there that allow student athletes to find nil deals or search up and match with companies that best fit their interests . So I would just say keep your options open and , and just make sure you're never saying yes to too many things and you're really being intentional with what , what brands or companies you partner with .
So putting in long hours , uh really getting on that , putting green and working on those short putts , like I said , uh I'd say those are the biggest things that I could have used to encourage a junior golfer , high school golfer , work with a handful of awesome nil brands and partners , uh , related to golf and also completely unrelated to golf . And I think when it comes to the nil space because we're so busy with what we do , it's important to make sure that you're not just doing things that , that don't make sense for the heck of it . You gotta make sure that if you're gonna allocate your time to a specific campaign or specific company , you're making sure that it aligns with what you believe in what you're passionate about .
So that's a comforting thing for high schoolers wanting to play at the next level is if you do , that's awesome . But if you don't that there's nothing , there's nothing against that . There's nothing , uh , it's all about just the journey of loving to practice , loving the grind and the other avenue I'd say for a more tangible way to encourage or , um , give some advice to high schoolers or junior golfers is it's gonna take a lot more work than everyone else .
A lot of professors see athletes take advantage of their situation as an athlete and try to get out of certain things . But I find a better way to go about . It is to be just super intentional with my professors letting them know my traveling situation , but also letting them know that their class is a priority and , and I'd love to find ways to get ahead and communicate with them on a weekly basis to let them know that I would love to get ahead on certain material or meet with a tutor about certain material .
