Who Am I?

Y'all, I want to take a moment and really introduce myself to those who might be new to what I'm doing here. My name is Nikki Henry, but most of you know me as MamaHen. And I'm on a mission—not just for my own kids, but for your kids too.

More Than Just a TikTok Creator

If you've been following me on TikTok, Instagram, or any of my other platforms, you know that I'm constantly posting about recruitment, scholarships, athletic development, and everything in between. But I want you to understand that this isn't just content creation for me. This is a calling.

I'm a wife. I'm a mother. I'm a grandmother (G'ma to some) to some of the most blessed sports people I know. And through every stage of my family's journey in athletics—from youth sports to college recruitment to professional levels—I've learned invaluable lessons about how the system works, what families need to know, and how to navigate a landscape that can be confusing, expensive, and honestly, sometimes unfair.

The Real Reason I'm Here

I'm here because I see families making mistakes that cost them thousands of dollars and sometimes cost their kids opportunities. I'm here because I've watched talented athletes get overlooked because they didn't understand the recruitment process. I'm here because I know that the right information, at the right time, can literally change the trajectory of a kid's life.

Most importantly, I'm here because I want to help you get that scholarship money. That's not just some catchy phrase—that's my actual mission.

The Scholarship Money is Out There

There are millions—and I mean millions—of dollars in scholarship money available to student-athletes every single year. But here's the thing: most families don't know how to access it. They don't understand what coaches are looking for. They don't know the right moves to make. And they don't know who to talk to for real, genuine guidance.

That's where I come in.

I've been in the trenches with recruitment. I've sat through meets with coaches. I've navigated the transfer portal. I've dealt with scholarship offers and contract negotiations. I've seen what works and what doesn't. And now, I'm sharing all of that with you.

This Isn't Just About Athletics

When I say I want to help families get scholarship money, I mean I want to help you access educational opportunities. I want to help your kids get to college on someone else's dime. I want to help them avoid predatory camps and unnecessary spending. I want to help them present themselves in a way that attracts coaches and scouts.

But more than that, I want to help your family—your community. That's why I'm asking you to share these videos. That's why I'm asking you to send them to someone in your family, your neighborhood, your church, your school.

Someone you know needs this information. Someone you know has a kid who is talented but doesn't know what to do next. Someone you know is about to spend money they don't have on something that won't help them. Someone you know is underestimating their child's potential because they don't know how the recruitment system actually works.

How You Can Help Spread the Message

If you've gotten value from my content—whether it's advice about the transfer portal, guidance on camps, clarity about scholarships, or just the real talk about what coaching staffs are actually doing—then I'm asking you to help me spread the word.

Like the videos. Share them. Repost them. Send them to people who need to hear them.

This isn't about likes and followers for me (though yes, those do help the algorithm and get the message out there). This is about reaching families who desperately need this information but haven't found it yet.

The MamaHen Mission

I'm building a community. I'm building a resource. I'm creating a space where families can come forreal, no-nonsense guidance about athletic recruitment, scholarships, and navigating the complex world of sports at every level.

Whether your kid is:

• In middle school just getting started

• In high school figuring out their recruitment strategy

• In college navigating the transfer portal

• Pursuing professional opportunities

I've got something to say. And more importantly, I've got experience to back it up.

What You Can Expect From Me

When you follow me, when you engage with my content, here's what you're getting:

Real Talk

I'm not sugarcoating anything. If a coach is using a manipulative tactic, I'll tell you. If a camp is overpriced and not worth it, I'll say so. If you're making a mistake with your recruitment strategy, I'm going to point it out.

Experience-Based Advice

Everything I'm telling you comes from actually living through the recruitment process. My family isn't theoretical about this—we've done it.

Practical Strategy

This isn't just motivation and inspiration (though you'll get some of that too). This is actionable, practical advice you can implement immediately.

Community Support

You're not alone in this. When you engage with my content, you're joining a community of parents, athletes, coaches, and mentors who all want the same thing: for young people to have access to athletic opportunities and scholarship money.

Let's Get Your Kid That Scholarship

Here's what I believe: Every kid has value. Every athlete has something to offer. Not every kid is going to be a D1 football player or a basketball star. But every kid with talent, with heart, with dedication—every one of them deserves a chance.

They deserve the information they need to present themselves properly. They deserve to understand what coaches want. They deserve to know how to navigate the system without their families going broke in the process.

So I'm asking you: if this resonates with you, if you've found value in what I'm sharing, help me spread the word. Like, share, repost. Send these videos to someone in your family, your neighborhood, your church, your school who needs this message.

Together, we can help more families access that scholarship money. Together, we can help more kids get their education paid for. Together, we can change the game.
