ATHLETE BRAND SCORE

Athletes don't know their NIL value — until now. The CBA Athlete Brand Score is the first standardized system to assess, measure, and improve your personal brand on a 100-point scale.

Current State

The Problem

  • Recruiting rankings exist
  • Athletic evaluations exist
  • Showcase evaluations exist
  • No standardized NIL/Branding evaluations

Athletes are told to build their brand, post more content, and grow their audience — but there's no way to measure progress.

The Solution

ABS Opportunity

  • Assess athlete marketability
  • Creates improvement plans
  • Provides competitive benchmarks
  • Generates recurring development opportunities

Athletes · Parents · Coaches all understand scores.
