Lycoming College 58-year-old freshman Tom Cillo turned the oldest soccer participant to sign a NIL (identify, picture and likeness) deal final week when he entered an settlement with Aspercreme, in accordance to a information launch from the product.
“You lose something when age, the ability to give a damn what anyone else thinks,” mentioned Cillo in a promotional video for the announcement.
“A longtime fan of the pain relief product, the Division III freshman will receive a four-year supply of Aspercreme as part of the partnership — enough to carry him through every snap, sprint, and sore muscle until graduation,” the information launch added.
“I’m living proof that you are never too old to chase your dream. At 58, I’m still lacing up, competing, and showing that passion doesn’t age. I may have more aches and pains than I used to, but then I just roll on some Aspercreme and show the younger guys that grit beats pain every time,” the information launch mentioned.
This is Aspercreme’s first NIL deal, in accordance to the Athletic.
