What if every athlete could turn their name into a business — and their influence into real income?

In this episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, host Trent M. Clark sits down with Mark Koesterer, founder of The Players NIL, Hillsdale College graduate, former football standout, and author of NIL FOR ALL and his newest book, UNLOCKING INFLUENCE (June 2025).

Mark isn’t just shifting the NIL conversation — he’s living it. As a dad of five (with four Division I athletes in the family), he’s on a mission to teach the next generation how to leverage the lessons, discipline, and opportunities from sports into lifelong success.

💥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How athletes can turn NIL into ROI and long-term value
• The leadership blueprint every athlete needs
• Why influence is today’s most valuable currency
• How Mark is equipping kids — starting with his own — to lead, earn, and win off the field

If you’re a coach, athlete, parent, or simply someone who believes in the power of sports to shape lives, this conversation is a masterclass in leadership, branding, and building a future beyond the scoreboard.
