Know What You're Signing Before You Sign It

Negotiation strategy and contract guidance for student-athletes and families navigating NIL, scholarships, and recruitment

Upcoming Events

  • A negotiation-strategy session that gives student-athletes and parents the tools to understand contracts, evaluate offers, and negotiate with confidence before signing anything. Presentation is for single high schools to entire districts.

    This presentation is given at the request of high school athletic directors or AAU coaching staffs.

  • A panel of experts helping student-athletes and families navigate recruitment, contracts, and NIL — before anything is signed.

    2026 panel is expected to take place end of October. More details to come.

Closing The Gap

I am Karri Gallagher. I've loved sports my whole life — first as a D1-recruited athlete, and now as someone who's spent a career on the other side of the table, negotiating high-stakes contracts for major companies. That combination is exactly why I do this work.

Many student-athletes and families walk into scholarship offers and NIL deals without understanding what they are signing. I've seen firsthand how much that gap costs people — not just financially, but in confidence and trust. I want to fill that gap.

Sports gave me opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise, and I want to make sure the next generation of athletes — and their families — have the tools to protect themselves and negotiate with confidence, before they ever sign anything.
