“Thanks to Young Minds Inspired, Players Inc and its partner, the NFL, were able to take a key initiative to the next level. The team at YMI is incredibly talented. Had it not been for their expertise in the field of ‘in-school’ marketing, we would have never met our goal of promoting trading cards to the youth marketplace.”
—Josh Goodstadt, Assistant Vice President Trading Cards &
Collectibles, Players Inc/NFL Players Association
