Pillar i. Personal brand

The work, the values, and what they pay for.

A name built during a career is worth considerably more than a name built after one. The window is short. The work starts now.

The personal brand is not a social media strategy. It is the deliberate architecture of who the athlete is publicly and commercially: what they stand for, who they work with, and how those relationships are structured to pay over time.

We build the strategy, the assets, and the deal infrastructure. We approach brands directly, negotiate on both sides, and structure agreements in cash, equity, or both, that reflect the athlete's long-term interests rather than a short-term appearance fee.

i.

Discover

Who you are off the field, what you've built, and what you want to protect. A conversation before a proposal.

ii.

Build

Strategy, visual identity, digital presence, and the narrative that connects them.

iii.

Source

Brand partnerships that fit, approached directly and structured carefully. Not broadcast to a marketplace.

iv.

Structure

Negotiations, contracts, equity tracks, and disclosure. We handle the process; the athlete makes the decision.


Pillar ii. The off-field life

The weight that quietly degrades performance.

A professional career asks a great deal from the people around it. It asks them to move on short notice, manage logistics that operate at a different pace than most, and do it quietly, without adding to the noise.

The challenge is that none of this has a natural owner. The agent handles the contract. The advisor handles the money. The coach handles the body. The rest of the life: the house, the schools, the admin, the travel, the daily decisions, tends to fall to the athlete or someone without the authority to solve it properly.

We take it on as part of the retainer. Not as a task service, but as a standing member of the off-field team. One contact. Everything runs through us, and we run it through TGC's supplier network (hotels, transport, property, education, healthcare) at cost, with no mark-up on the pass-through.

A representative week, composite

Mon

A transfer clause reviewed for implications beyond the contract itself.

Tue

A school shortlist prepared for the new city. Three viewings arranged.

Wed

A brand approach declined on behalf. The athlete is briefed at the end of the week.

Thu

A property search brief sent to three vetted agents in the new city.

Fri

A car lease structured. A cleaner arranged. A utility account opened.

Sat

A sponsor activation briefed and delivered to the brand on time.

Sun

A week's admin cleared. Nothing outstanding on Monday morning.

Pillar iii. The long game

The window is short. The plan should not be.

A professional career is a significant financial event. The earning window spans ten to fifteen years at the peak of the market. The decisions made in that period about money, structure and post-career direction are not easy to reverse on the other side of it.

We don't replace the wealth manager, the tax advisor, or the lawyer. We sit between them and the athlete, making sure they're talking to each other, that the athlete understands what is being recommended, and that nothing important is falling through the gap between professional silos.

We also keep the post-career question in view from the start. Not a single conversation about what comes next, but a plan that develops alongside the career — so that when the contract ends, the athlete is walking toward something, not just away from it.


Membership — three tiers

One annual retainer. No surprises on the invoice.

The practice runs on a single annual retainer. No hourly billing, no project fees, no hidden costs on the supplier side. TGC passes services through at cost. The scope is agreed in writing before the relationship starts, and reviewed every year.

Brand-deal commissions are separate and disclosed up front: 15–20% of negotiated value, depending on scope. This is the only variable element of the commercial relationship. There are no other fees.

From the practice

"The practice works when the fit is genuine. We'll say clearly if we think it isn't. That directness is part of what we're offering from the first conversation."
