Global Edge Athletics™ — NIL, Performance & Wellness for the Whole Athlete
For Athletes & the Families Who Believe in Them

PARENTS GET
ANSWERS.
ATHLETES GET
ACCESS.

A trusted home for NIL education, mental performance, and elite-track development — built by parents, led by champions, and powered by the people who actually train them.

NIL Market Reality
$1.7B
Estimated annual NIL spend across U.S. college athletics — with most families navigating it without guidance.
Mental Performance
35%
Share of student-athletes reporting mental health concerns. Your edge isn't only physical.
Built By
PROS
Retired NBA & NFL champions, Olympic-track performance coaches, and the parents who've already walked the path.
The Reality

NIL CHANGED EVERYTHING.
MOST FAMILIES ARE FLYING BLIND.

In four years the rules have rewritten themselves three times. Deals are real. So are the risks. The wrong move costs scholarships, eligibility, and futures — and most parents don't get a second chance to learn it.

87%
of high school athletes have no clear plan for navigating recruitment, NIL, or the transition into college and pro pipelines.
2 / 3
parents say they've never had a single trusted conversation about NIL with someone who's actually been on either side of the deal.
#1
reason elite athletes burn out before they peak: the mental and behavioral side of the game went unaddressed for years.
We built Global Edge because we lived it — as a parent, as a player, as the people in the locker room when the deals, the pressure, and the doubt arrive at the same time. — Dr. Stefany Jones & Dennis "D3" Scott
Built By Parents. Led By Champions.

THE FACES BEHIND
THE PLATFORM.

Two principals. One mission. The bridge between a parent who's lived it and a champion who's earned it — surrounded by the network most families never get inside.

01
Parent · Founder · Strategist

DR. STEFANY
JONES

The parent translator. The platform architect. The voice of every family asking the questions nobody answers.
Founder of Helping Mankind on Purpose LLC and a parent of an athlete who refused to leave her child's future to guesswork. She built Global Edge because no family should navigate this fluid, high-stakes industry without a trusted hand on their shoulder.
02
2x NCAA Champion · NBA Champion · Network

DENNIS "D3"
SCOTT

The champion. The voice. The network that opens doors most families don't know exist.
NBA Champion, longtime ESPN and TNT analyst, and one of the most connected figures in basketball. D3 brings four decades of access — coaches, executives, agents, and the inner circle of pro sports — to families who've never had a seat at the table.
The Four Pillars

WHAT WE DELIVER.
WHO DELIVERS IT.

A holistic edge isn't a slogan — it's four disciplines, each led by a specialist whose résumé you can verify, working together so nothing about your athlete's development gets left on the table.

01 / NIL

NIL EDUCATION & STRATEGY

Led by Dr. Stefany Jones & the Global Edge Network

Valuation tools, state-by-state compliance guides, deal review frameworks, and roadmaps that translate the rules into decisions your family can actually make. From middle school positioning to post-college brand building.

Family Questions

WHAT FAMILIES ASK
BEFORE THEY START.

My athlete is only in middle school. Is this too early?
+
Not even a little. The families who navigate NIL and recruiting best are the ones who started building the foundation — mental, athletic, academic, and relational — long before there was anything to monetize. K–8 is when positioning becomes generational.
Are HuMEN and HuMEN for HER clinical therapy?
+
No. HuMEN and HuMEN for HER are wellness and psychoeducational curriculum and coaching programs designed specifically for athletes. They are not a substitute for licensed clinical care. When clinical needs surface, we refer thoughtfully.
What sports do you serve?
+
Our principals and inner circle span basketball, football, Olympic-track disciplines, and the broader cross-section of revenue and Olympic sports. The framework, NIL strategy, and wellness curriculum are sport-agnostic by design.
Do you replace agents, advisors, or attorneys?
+
No — we make families capable of working better with the agents, advisors, and attorneys they already have or eventually need. Our roadmaps and education arm parents to ask the right questions and recognize the wrong answers.
How do I know which step is right for us?
+
Start with the free Playbook. If the questions it surfaces feel bigger than what a download can solve, the SKOOL community is the right next step. If you need a tailored plan now — especially if your athlete is already in active recruitment or fielding offers — apply for a 1:1 Roadmap.
