SPONSOR AN ATHLETE
It is normal for large international brands to sponsor top-level athletes, however, many of the athletes of an immediately subsequent level, are seen without support of any kind. Although the qualities of these athletes are impressive and have enormous potential, the difference in the support and opportunities they receive increases the differences with the world's elite athletes. The idea behind the sponsorship project is to trust these athletic promises and act as their sponsors, in order to provide them with the support and opportunities they need to demonstrate their potential.
In the sponsorship program, we cover the basic living expenses of the athletes, which include both accommodation and food. Basic services necessary for athletics are also covered. In addition to the transportation costs already covered with the team's bus rental program, the monthly gym and massage expenses are assumed. The contact and monitoring of these athletes is much closer and it is about that the material needs of the athletes within the sponsorship program are always covered. In this way, sponsored athletes only have to worry about training and doing their best.
Who can assume sponsorship of an athlete? From companies and brands to people individually or in conjunction with other project partners , the only requirement is to trust these athletes! As sponsors of these athletes, a small report will be sent monthly with the news, performance and progression, objectives, achievements and needs of the athlete.
To do this, you just have to become a member of Sponsor an Athlete, indicate that the fee is destined to the sponsorship program and select the amount with which you want to contribute. Sponsorships have a different cost depending on the needs of each athlete, the place where they reside and their monthly expenses, such as rent or prices in the area. Therefore, before entering the program, a detailed analysis of each case is made and exposed to potential sponsors. However, the average monthly expenses are usually around € 50, which would correspond to a full sponsorship.
.
To prevent this support from becoming dependency, sponsorships have a duration of 1 year. During this time it is intended that the sports improvement of the athlete is sufficient to make him self-sustaining. Even so, as in any sport, the results are not always assured, and therefore, if the support is being effective, but self-sustainability has not yet been achieved, the renewal of the sponsorship can be studied.
But why does improved athletic performance make athletes self-sustaining? An improvement in athletic performance will make athletes train and compete better. By competing better and getting better marks in races, they will make organizers of other competitions notice them. The better the times of an athlete, the race organizers make a greater effort to cover all their expenses and in addition, they increasingly have access to more prestigious competitions, where the prizes and fixed salaries for running are higher. Therefore, a sports improvement directly influences the athlete's economic situation, reaching a point where it is the athlete himself who can take care of all his expenses and be self-sustaining.
