The NIL NorthStar Playbook Podcast
Guiding Parents and Athletes Through the New Age of NIL, Recruiting, and Reality.
Hosted by Marc Nolan, the nation’s longest-serving kicking and punting coach — and the man who’s helped over 4,000 athletes earn more than $275 million in scholarships in several high school sports
Marc first learned the power of a NorthStar during his Army days — when that single light guided him and his team out of the swamp and back to solid ground.
Now, he uses that same guiding principle to help parents and athletes navigate the swamp of today’s recruiting world — the confusion, the hype, the NIL chaos — and find clarity, direction, and integrity.
Each episode blends humor, hard truth, and heart — tackling NIL, the transfer portal, recruiting realities, communication skills, and mental resilience.
Because in this new Wild West of college athletics, you don’t need a spotlight —
you need a NorthStar.
