How To Become A Pro-Athlete

How To Become A Pro-Athlete

From Little League to NILionaire. The Only System Built for the Full Arc.


Most coaches can teach you how to run faster or lift heavier. Very few can teach you how to turn your athletic career into a business, a brand, and a legacy.

Chad McKinley — CMAC — is a sports kinesiologist (University of Colorado Boulder), a Wharton-trained financial strategist, a Penn Law scholar, a U.S. Army Aviation veteran, a UFC-connected MMA coach, a USATF Masters M50 competitor still ranked in the top 10 world level in the 200m and 800m, and the creator of the MAC10 Six Sigma Athlete Framework. Over 35 years and thousands of clients — from Little League players to Super Bowl ring holders — CMAC has built the only coaching system that treats your athletic career like a Fortune 500 operation.

This is not a training program. This is a real-world MBA-level education in athletic career development — delivered through CMAC's manuals, programs, and direct client meetups.


The MAC10 Athlete Education System

The MAC10 Six Sigma Athlete Framework covers every phase of an athletic career — from your first youth league to your first professional contract, NIL deal, and post-career business strategy.

  • The Manuals & Programs — Written systems covering athletic development, D1 recruiting strategy, NIL monetization, contract negotiation, personal branding, financial planning, and post-career transition. Available as PDF digital downloads and print editions — from the $20 24-month daily plan to the full $129 Done-For-You Life Blueprint binder.
  • Client Meetups — One-on-one and small group sessions available online (Zoom/video), at the gym, or in person. Real coaching from a coach who has trained Super Bowl ring holders, TUFFnUFF world champions, UFC title contenders, D1 athletes, and Goldman Sachs C-suite executives.
  • Performance & Recruiting Review — Chad evaluates your current athletic profile, recruiting positioning, and NIL readiness — and tells you exactly what needs to change to get to the next level.
  • NIL Strategy & Brand Building — The MAC10 NIL Blueprint has helped high school and college athletes unlock six-figure brand deals, build personal brands, and create generational wealth before they ever turn pro.
  • Life Planning & Financial Systems — The same Six Sigma precision applied to your athletic career is applied to your finances, your education, and your post-career plan. Athletes who work with CMAC don’t just perform — they build.

The Full Arc — Every Stage, Every Athlete

The MAC10 system is built for athletes at every level. There is a program for where you are right now — and a roadmap to where you want to go.

  • Little League & Youth Athletes — Build the foundation right. Fundamentals, mindset, and early development systems that set the trajectory for a D1 career.
  • 🏈 High School Athletes (D1-Bound) — The NILionaire HS program. Recruiting strategy, combine prep, academic positioning, and early NIL groundwork.
