MACON, Ga. – Mercer University athletics uses Podium X to offer student-athletes career development and personal marketing tools. Podium X changes the way student-athletes prepare and apply for jobs and internships, as well as market themselves for NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) prospects. 

“I am thrilled about the integration of Podium X here at Mercer. This platform provides our student-athletes with a unique opportunity to prepare for life after sports starting as early as freshman year,” says Delaney Ryan, Assistant AD/Support Services. “Our students will now have access to numerous resources to promote themselves as professionals. I look forward to seeing their continued growth and success both on and off the field with the support of Podium X!” 

The Podium X platform (www.podiumx.com) allows creation of an online profile that is specially designed for athletes to highlight their unique journey and valuable soft skills often developed through athletics. This Podium Profile serves as an enhanced resume listing business, athletic, leadership, and educational experience, even media clips about their sports careers.  Students can create traditional resume PDFs with one click, apply to jobs within the platform or externally with AI assistance to create cover letters, thank you notes, interview prep and resume optimization.   

Deputy Athletic Director Brian Gerrity shares that “this partnership shows an investment in the whole student-athlete. While Podium X does highlight achievements on the fields and courts, it is a way for our athletes to promote themselves to employers, potential NIL opportunities and alums.”

Podium X is the premier solution for athlete career development, designed by experts in career services, staffing, talent management, and HR. Trusted by over 10,000 athletes, it offers a comprehensive set of tools to support athletes throughout the career development and recruitment process, as well as enhancing personal branding and marketing for sponsorship opportunities.
