Cooper Manning Empowers Entrepreneurs to Cultivate a Success-Driven Mindset

If anyone knows about building a brand, it’s the Manning family.

Soon to be a three-generation NFL family, Peyton and Eli Manning are household names, and their nephew, Texas star quarterback Arch Manning, currently holds the title of the highest-valued college athlete in terms of NIL money.

Cooper Manning, Arch’s father and the older brother of Peyton and Eli, recently shared insights on the evolving relationship between athletes and business. “I think more so than ever, athletes are really interested in business, and business guys like hanging with athletes, and they use each other to kind of feed off it,” he said in an interview with FOX Business.

To leverage this growing interest, Cooper has teamed up with Capital One and its Venture X Business card. His mission is to coach entrepreneurs on how to succeed both on and off the field, translating the championship mindset of sports into actionable strategies for business growth.

“I’m wearing a couple hats these days. I’m a business owner, I’m a dad, I go to a lot of sporting events, and the Capital One Business Venture X Card has been phenomenal for me,” he explained. “We travel to a bunch of great college towns throughout the fall, and last-minute logistics — getting hotels, rental cars, flights — can be challenging. I’m not great with logistics, and they handle all the dirty work. It’s been a great partnership with Capital One.”

“Capital One gets it,” Cooper added. “They’re kind of the foundation of support. They offer premium tools, benefits, and meaningful access that help entrepreneurs and athletes reach their goals without getting bogged down in red tape.”

Much of that red tape is found in social media, which can often create a misleading image of entrepreneurship. Cooper emphasizes the importance of trusting the process for young aspiring business owners.

“Social media is great, but it can also be a distraction. You need to keep your head down and focus on your goals. It’s easy to get sidetracked and lose sight of what matters,” Cooper advised. “Stay committed to your work, and I believe it will pay off in the end.”
