Our Mission

Optimal Sports Management is dedicated to enhancing the lives of our clients, both on and off-the field, by giving them the necessary resources to not only achieve their goals, but to also create a meaningful impact within their communities through their athletic career and beyond.

Our Story

Optimal Sports Management was formed at the beginning of the NIL era in July of 2021. Our C-Level executives are all graduates from the University of Southern California and have real-world experience in Business Administration and Sports Media.

The new NIL frontier is certainly a game changer and as a high school/collegiate athlete, you are certainly in the right place to take advantage of it. With that being said, it is imperative you find the right NIL advisors to walk you and your family through the process and to avoid jeopardizing collegiate eligibility. This is why we have experienced advisors who have been involved within the sports industry for the past 30 years. These advisors include former athletes, coaches, and college athletic administrators.

Optimal Sports Management was built upon our athletes’ vision of not only being the best players they can be on the field, but also the most notable figures off-the field through innovative marketing campaigns. By working with a variety of companies across the nation and having our own storefront, we ensure that our client's professional and personal needs are met.
