Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: June 2026
What This Is
Elite Sports Solutions ("ESS," "we," "us") recommends tools, platforms, and resources across the site — primarily on The ESS Stack. Some of those links are affiliate links.
An affiliate link means that if you click through and make a purchase, ESS may receive a small commission from the company — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you arrive through our link or by typing the URL directly.
Our Editorial Standard
Affiliate relationships do not determine what gets recommended on this site. The only question that matters is this:
“Would I recommend this in a real conversation with an athlete I’m advising?”
If the answer is no, it doesn’t make the list — regardless of whether a commission is available. If the answer is yes, it can earn a spot — regardless of whether we earn anything from it.
Every product on The ESS Stack was evaluated by Jack Tabb III based on his experience as a Division I athlete, NFL undrafted free agent, college coach, NFLPA-certified agent, and venture investor. That background is the filter. The commission structure is not.
Where Affiliate Links Appear
Affiliate links may appear in any of the following categories on The ESS Stack. Each card on that page is individually labeled with an Affiliate link disclosure. Products built by Jack Tabb III or ESS are labeled Jack’s Product and are not affiliate relationships.

Wearables, recovery equipment, sport nutrition, film platforms, mental performance tools.
NIL & Brand Building
NIL marketplaces, athlete brand platforms, NIL analytics and valuation tools.
Athlete Finance & Wealth
Financial literacy apps, micro-investing platforms, scholarship databases, tax filing resources.
Learning & Development
Online course platforms, mental health services, audiobook subscriptions.
Agent Tools & Operations
CRM platforms, contract execution software, scheduling tools.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255). These guidelines require that material connections between advertisers and endorsers — including affiliate compensation — be clearly and conspicuously disclosed to consumers. We take that requirement seriously and have designed this site so that disclosures appear at the page level, the section level, and on individual product cards.
