We’ve put together this list of (super simple but important) Personal Brand Facts to help athletic directors, advisors and educators support their athletes navigate their brand building journey during and beyond sport.
1. Every athlete has a brand
However, they may not be aware of it or in control of it. Their brand is quite simply made up of what they care about, what they do, their values, their goals and their beliefs.
2. By identifying their brand athletes are able to...
Navigate their pathway in sport and in life, with clarity, confidence and purpose. They'll see themselves as more than just an athlete. This holistic approach can improve their mental and social wellbeing.
3. An athlete's brand is...
The impression they make and the impact they create! Their uniqueness is an asset, not a weakness. They don't need to copy other athletes or create a fake, 'branded' version of themselves.
4. Athletes often don't realise their story is amazing
By sharing their brand online, in conversations, in the media and with sponsors they can inspire and motivate others. This can be as simple as sharing how they set goals or recover from losses.
5. An athlete's brand is communicate online and offline
How they behave on and off the sports field and how they make decisions in sport and in life, are part of communicating their brand. I.e. engaging sponsorship, applying for scholarships or being an entrepreneur.
