PROTECTOR OF ATHLETES™

TO YOUR CAMPUS TO HELP YOUR STUDENT ATHLETES UNLOCK THEIR RESILIENCE

Allow the Protector of Athletes™ to greatly enrich your students through targeted programming.

The Resilience Ladder™

This program is designed to help student athletes re-discover their resilience for greater success during and after sports. In college and beyond, individuals find themselves battling with anxiety, less motivation, and clear guidelines for how to overcome troubling times.

In this program we focus on three areas of resilience: Mental, Emotional & Social; and we assist the student athlete in building the right skills to implement M.O.M. as they navigate through social environments, emotional upsets, and mindset challenges.

Laying the Groundwork for Success™

How often have you heard a student complain that they didn't have a chance, an opportunity, or a decision in the matter? Often, students wonder about life, believing that things should "magically" happen for them, not recognizing that it takes action to have a say in how their future is developed.

This program is designed to help student athletes implement a powerhouse momentum to success by applying the Have Your S.A.E.™ framework which stands for shifting your mindset, achieving through accountability, and excelling with education. All three things must be constant practice to help student athletes understand and re-define success for what matters to them, practice consistent accountability, and seek a quest for understanding.

What Are You Sporting About? TM

This program is designed to help student athletes implement a powerhouse momentum to success by applying the M.O.M Method TM. M. O. M. stands for "Mind Over Matter TM" which is all about persevering through turbulent times of life.

This program implements a formulaic process of building up mental fortitude and engaging in varying perspectives on beliefs when confronted with different matters. In all, these lessons will help the student to focus on what they can control, and move despite difficulty because of an issue.

Name, Image & Likeness Workshops

The Protector of Athletes™ provides substantive workshops on Name, Image, & Likeness workshops, essentially the key skills that your students will need to understand to engage in proper and reputable business practices.

Here are a few of the workshops we currently offer:

Business Creation

Often, the type of business one registers can have a direct impact on the taxes that are attributed to the business. Students will learn the types of entities, how to register a business, & tax implications.
Effective Written Communication

Substantive lesson on how effective communication can help or hinder the student's business endeavors. The student will be provided with real life examples and have an opportunity to illustrate their communication abilities with feedback.
Negotiation Strategies

Often, students will take the first offer because they think it's good. Many times, it's not. The student will learn unique negotiation strategies to implement so they can get the best deal.

Contracts

One of the biggest problems in business today is faulty contracts. Students will learn the provisions that should go in any contract and language that should be used to protect their interests.
Team Building & Curation of Key Members

The students will be taken through a series of team-building challenges. This will also help the student learn how to build and curate a team for success that loves the culture and enjoys working for the student.
Business Finance & Tax Implications

Most businesses suffer because of poor financial and tax planning. This session will bring in a collaborative partner to discuss these issues and we'll teach the students how their business has a direct tax implication.

PUBLICATIONS

What Are You Sporting About?©

What Are You Sporting?© is an Amazon Best-selling book in three categories that helps the athlete to get back to basics. What Are You Sporting About? dares the athlete to begin dreaming again and recognize what happened to it? Where did it get lost?

This book also takes the athlete down a serious road of self-reflection of victimization, their circle of influence, their business acumen, and ways to begin healing for a better future.

Essentially, this book drives home the importance of PURPOSe and why it's necessary for every athlete to understand theirs whether they're in sport or not.

Speaking Testimonial

It's always great to have Sivonnia speak at our events. She is so passionate about sports and athletes' rights. She brings great legal knowledge but also a relevant perspective as a former athlete. And we like that she is a fervent advocate for inclusion, diversity and equity. We would recommend Sivonnia to anybody who is looking for a dynamic, charismatic and articulate speaker.

Myriam Glez, Former Olympic Swimmer

She is a very interesting speaker, she kept my attention, and I really liked the power point. It didn't have too much information in each slide and was easy to read.

Stephanie Thompson

Lawyer

I reached out to Attorney DeBarros about an NCAA NIL issue, and she provided me with very valuable information on the topic. In addition, she was very knowledgeable about other topics related to the one we were discussing.

Kenya Adams

Student

Sivonnia is so incredibly knowledgeable, and she has the unique skill of making complex material easier to understand for the audience. She is also a wonderful presenter, keeping the audience engaged and "entertained" if you will, while also delivering valuable information, which is extra difficult to do on Zoom.
