If you don’t have a system or a plan…
Trying to earn a football scholarship is stressful and overwhelming
So your athlete is…
Overlooked because of their size.
Not getting any views or responses from coaches on sites like Hudl or NCSA.
Losing motivation from rejection and self-doubt is settling in.
Tired of leaving camps without any offers.
And these challenges lead to sleepless nights and feeling constantly overwhelmed because the last thing you want is your athlete to give up because you know it will have a huge long term impact on their life...
We believe your underdog athlete deserves to run out of the tunnel in front of thousands of screaming fans on Saturdays…
Hi There, I'm Richie Contartesi...
The Founder Of Next Play
And I understand firsthand the frustrations, challenges, and aspirations both you and your athlete are facing.
Like your athlete, I had a dream of earning a college football scholarship and was overlooked by everyone.
No one initially responded to my emails, DMs, or calls. I even had a meeting scheduled in person with a coach they didn’t show up too.
However, at just 5'7" and 150 pounds, I faced the adversity of being undersized and ultimately ended up created a system that today we call, Next Play®.
After implementing the system, I defied all expectations and secured a full Division-1 football scholarship in the powerhouse SouthEastern Conference (SEC) at Ole Miss.
I experienced the thrill of starting in all 12 games during my senior year, earned the prestigious SEC Scholar Athlete award, and played on legendary fields like Alabama, LSU, and Auburn.
My journey continued beyond college as I played professional Arena football and authored the #1 bestseller, "In Spite of the Odds." I even had the honor of being featured in the movie "Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On."
But my true calling emerged when I founded, Next Play. A nationwide leadership program where we help underdog athletes transcend their limitations and secure college football scholarships through the proven Next Play® System.
Drawing from my own journey and the success of underdog athletes all over the country, I offer guidance, mentorship, and the proven strategies needed to make their dreams a reality.
You and your athlete will discover a community that understands, supports, and believes in their extraordinary potential.

A Few Endorsements
What People Think
“Richie’s story and book lit a fire within me. His drive, passion, and relentless will to succeed was reminiscent of my time at Notre Dame. At 5’7” and 150 pounds, Richie overcame the obstacles and the naysayers to earn a full SEC scholarship and a place in Ole Miss tradition.”
Rudy Ruettiger
Inspiration of the Classic Movie Rudy
Richie has an innate ability to get the most out of his talents. Limited physical skills and size were not a roadblock but a driver for hard work, study, and relentless perseverance. He is one of those athletes who may not be the fastest, biggest, or most talented, but through hard work, a never give up attitude, and belief himself, makes believers out of everyone around him. Richie has a bigger heart than Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and our staff agreed 100% that he deserved a full SEC football scholarship!
