New York (January 30) – I like to attend Chevron Houston Marathon and AAMCO HOUSTON HALTON HALF-Marathon every January. It is great to cover these two World Athletics Golden Race for Race Results Weekly and support local television on ABC-13. The first opportunity of each year is to talk to other industries who are gathering in the race. It is not only a race day, but also an important meeting of the industry, where the industry supporters share stories and information. I always leave Houston much more informed than when I reached.

It takes me to a conversation, I had a two-seventh industry specialist two weeks ago, which I know more than twenty years and trust. We discussed various topics when the conversation was relocated for the name, image and similarity (zero) high school and college athletes. These transactions are the latest financial support industry brands to young athletes who have not become traditional, but still compete in regular high school and college competitions.

When I last spoke about these transactions with a long agent, he said that most of these transactions are for equal equipment for small money, at least at the high school level. But he also noted that some money were significant. The industry specialist in Houston told me about a job in which high school athlete received a year from one of the $ 80,000 brands.

I was amazed.

The industry specialist was very confident in the number and had a trusted knowledge about the transaction. It will exceed the average annual contract for the middle-level college, which is a so-called “blue snake” class. Blue Snake athletes have professional agreements, but not near the top of the food chain, only earn a midnight every year (plus any prize money). They are usually shocked on the track, but focus on the roads and a USATF flow, which left the prize money for Americans.

When we talked later, we inquired whether blue snake athletes now compete for sponsorship dollars with high school athletes. We agreed that the answer was undoubtedly “yes”. High-level high school or college athlete could have a quick brand of more influence, both on the playing field, and to exit athletes, which operates in national championships and regional road race.

This is especially true when you think about social media followers who are already enjoying high school and college athletes. Sprinter Quincy Wilson (not the athlete we discussed) has a follower of 362,000 Instagram. California Miller Sadi Enggel, who will take part in the NC in the fall, has 22,000 followers (we were discussing high school athlete), and Half Fighter of Stanford Juliet Whitch has 18,000 followers.

Moreover, in the fall of the ordinary high school seasons, the outdoor path and in the spring route (all included in national championships) makes those athletes easier than the parties. They also compete in state championships, which pay close attention to the region. We could see how high school was able to make a real sprinkle for a brand.

But $ 80,000. The brand hoped that it would be a prepayment on a sponsorship career through which the athlete passes through college, leads to Pro Agreement.

Of course, there are no guarantees for sponsorship. Remember that Parker Walbie had nick with Nike, and a student-athlete at Florida University, but the new balance as Pro (in regular six-month regime).

I’m a big fan of a blue snake class. They are a soldier from race race, mainly challenging and see how good they can be, knowing they never earn a lot of money. Their is an honorary pursuit, just trying to get the most from them while their bodies allow it. I’m rooting for them.
