Self-paced course
Build your athlete's brand, step by step.
The complete self-paced system to set up the profile, build a content system, and grow the following. The same playbook Nick used to take the Mr. Spladle brand past 100K and to grow Lucy Milgrim from zero to 300K+. Work through it at your own pace and keep it for good.
For athletes and sports parents • Lambs become Lions
What this is
A clear plan, done at your own pace.
Most families post clips into the void with no plan and no brand. This course hands you the exact system: how to set the page up right, what to post, and how to grow it into something that can earn. No fluff, no theory, just the steps Nick actually used.
What you get
Everything in the course.
- Full video course: document, grow, and monetize your athlete's brand
- Guide 01, Profile Setup: a page a stranger gets in five seconds
- Guide 02, The Content System: what to post and how to film it
- Guide 03, The Growth Playbook: how to grow and open doors
- Templates and checklists: bio formula, hook and caption formulas, shot list, media kit, 90-day plan
- Sponsorship and NIL basics, explained simply and honestly
- Lifetime access, work at your own pace and revisit any time
- Built for athletes, not generic social media advice
What's inside
The three core guides.
Three step-by-step guides that take you from a blank page to a real brand. Templates and checklists built into each one.
Profile Setup
Set the page up so the right people find it, get it instantly, and follow. Handle, bio formula, photo, pinned posts, highlights, and the safety rules for a minor's page.
The Content System
Never run out of things to post. The four content buckets, hook formulas, filming on a phone, fast editing, the clip bank, a weekly calendar, and 30 content ideas.
The Growth Playbook
Grow the following for real and turn attention into opportunities. How reach works, the levers that move it, engagement, collabs, the metrics that matter, and sponsorships and NIL, kept honest.

The proof
Real accounts. Real followings.
Nick grew the Mr. Spladle brand past 100K across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Then he took Lucy Milgrim from zero to 300K+ followers and helped her monetize her platforms. It worked with his own son and it worked with someone starting from nothing. That is the same system behind this program.
These are real numbers from accounts Nick has built, including growing Lucy Milgrim from zero to 300K+ followers and helping her monetize her platforms. The coaching programs are new. Your results depend on your work, your athlete, and your consistency. No income or NIL outcome is promised or guaranteed.
Questions
Straight answers.
Is this for parents or athletes?
Both. Parents managing a young athlete's page and older athletes running their own both fit. The system works the same either way.
Do I need a big following to start?
No. Building it is the whole point. Lucy Milgrim started at zero. The course is built for accounts that are just getting going.
How long does it take?
Go at your own pace. You can work through the guides in a weekend, then implement over the weeks that follow. You keep access for good.
Is this the same as the Mr. Spladle store products?
Different things. The Mr. Spladle store sells products like The Spladle System. This course teaches you to build your own athlete's brand from the ground up.
Do you guarantee sponsors, NIL, or going viral?
No. Anyone who promises that is selling you something. The course gives you the system that makes opportunities possible. The work, and the results, are yours.
What about NIL?
High school NIL is decided state by state, with restrictions, and there is no federal law yet. The course explains the landscape simply. It is not legal or eligibility advice. Always check your state association and school.

The following is the part most families never build. This course shows you how, step by step.
