Next Play was founded by two industry leaders dedicated to helping athletes succeed beyond their playing careers.

 

With over 15 years of experience representing professional athletes, Aaron Zack became the youngest NFL sports agent at 25 and later founded Revolving Mind Media, a full-service business and marketing agency. Throughout his career, Aaron has created events and networking opportunities that educate athletes about career and business possibilities, including high-profile Super Bowl gatherings and retreats. His mission is to impact athletes globally by guiding them toward lasting success off the field.

 

Nick Marino Jr., a former collegiate baseball player turned seasoned marketing executive, brings 14+ years of expertise across sports, media, technology, and healthcare. With a proven ability to drive over $55 million in startup revenue and attract over 300,000 mobile app downloads, Nick’s entrepreneurial spirit and leadership have established him as a marketing and business growth authority.

 

Together, they lead Next Play with a shared passion for guiding athletes through their next chapter of life and success.
