For Texas college athletes

How UpSide works

It's a conversation, not a course. Three steps, whenever you need it.

Step 1

Ask

Type whatever's on your mind — a class, a coach, a deal, a bad week. No forms, no setup. Just talk like you'd text a teammate.

Step 2

Think

UpSide talks it through with you, asks the right questions, and helps you see the situation clearly — without telling you what to feel.

Step 3

Move

You leave with a next move you can actually take today. Small, real, and yours.

Not sure what to ask?

Tap any question below to start the conversation. These are the real ones athletes bring to UpSide.

School & Time

How do I balance a full class load with practice and travel?I'm behind in a class and the season just started. What do I do?How can I study smarter when I only have an hour between things?

NIL & Money

I got my first NIL offer. What should I check before I say yes?How do I handle taxes on NIL money as a student in Texas?How do I build a personal brand without looking fake?

Relationships

How do I talk to my coach about my playing time without it going bad?There's tension with a teammate. How do I handle it?My family has big expectations for me. How do I deal with that pressure?

Life After Sport

I don't know what I want to do after college. Where do I start?How do I find an internship that works around my schedule?What if my sport doesn't turn pro — what's my plan B?

The Mental Game

I freeze up under pressure. How do I get my confidence back?I think I'm burning out. Is that normal and what do I do?How do I bounce back after a bad game or an injury?

Got your own question? That's the best place to start.
