I Built A Personal Brand App For Athletes

In this video, I build a mobile app for athletes to track brand deals, earnings, and payment history. The project is a mini full-stack mobile MVP inspired by the NIL Club (  / nil-club  ) platform where student-athletes can view their total earnings, active sponsorship deals, paid vs pending payments, and individual payment timelines. I also explore how a lightweight Bitcoin payment option could fit into the future of athlete monetization.
