Sprint Battle

  I'm here analyzing Sprint Battle's market strategy and implementation process. I said this months ago at the beginning of my study of the Track and Field (T&F) industry but, never really gave it any real thought until now. The T&F competition format is the lifeline for sprinters, it is what athletes know and all they know... A sports format is that one key thing that will make or break a sports program for success and sustainability in the eyes of athletes, investors and mainstream media across all global boarders. T&F was established as a part of the ancient Olympic Games in Greece in 776 B.C. The sport program was created alongside religious events and celebrations for the Greek gods, where men would show off their athletic abilities in events like sprint races, long jump, discus, shot put and javelin. These events were highly praised and celebrated by the home cities of the winners, and they still remain a part of what we know as T&F today.  However, the T...

      It might not seem that sprinters communicate real life challenges with each other but, they do and have concerns that is similar to other athletes career choice such as: - Faster times: Sprinters are always looking to shave precious seconds or even milliseconds off their personal best times.   - Improved technique: Sprinters continually work on perfecting their starts, drives, and finishes to ensure they're running efficiently and effectively. - Increased power: Building explosive power through strength training and plyometrics is essential for generating speed and acceleration. - Better conditioning: Sprinters need to develop the endurance to maintain their speed over the duration of the race, which can be anywhere from 50 to 400 meters. - Mental toughness: Sprinters need to develop strategies to manage pressure, stay focused, and perform at their best when it matters most. - Competitive success: Ultimately, sprinters want to win races, break records,...

      As I look around the track industry, the majority of time I only see the 1 to 2% of sprint athletes dominating the market place, when it comes to public exposure, endorsements and rewards. It makes you  wonder, where is the  98% of athletic sprinters that make up the industry, what are they doing to stay relevant in sprinting. Do these athletes only train, what about their competitive market to stay relevant? A few weeks ago I posted a comment on Instagram stating some facts about the percentage of athlete that make it to become elite sprinters. The percentage of sprint athletes who make it to professionalism is relatively small. According to various sources, including the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), here are some rough estimates: 1. High school sprinters: About 1-2% of high school sprinters in the United States will go on to compete at the NCAA level. 2. NCAA sprinters:...

  First, I must say there are people and organizations that see the potential of a high valued sprint industry. Where a sprint market full of grass-roots, amateurs and professional athletes are at the core of something immense. There is a lot more that could happen, that has not been happened since the 1800s in the modern era of the Olympics. Operations mirror the sprint format that track and field has established as their sprint platform and attain it as a successful sports model with sustainability. They realize focusing their efforts towards catering to the traditional format of the one percent (1%) of elite athletes getting all the spoils allows for a higher return on investment as well as appealing to the historical fan bases of track loyalist. Its safe, there is a level of sustainability when you always promote the elite athletes at the expense of future possibilities.  However, Sprint Battle has taken a total different approach from the historical norm and traditions of...

  Sprint Battle has taken a comprehensive approach on addressing the fact of why a sprint competition or league outside of track and field has not being able to function in the market. As we stepped back and took a subjective look we realized a sprint league can function in a sports market, but it would require careful planning, execution, and marketing. Here are some pros and cons to consider: Pros: 1. Unique selling proposition: A sprint league would offer a unique and exciting product that differentiates itself from other sports leagues.   2. High-energy events: Sprint events are typically fast-paced and thrilling, making for an engaging spectator experience.   3. Global appeal: Sprinting is a universal language, and a sprint league could attract a diverse audience from around the world.   4. Potential for growth: A sprint league could tap into the growing demand for premium sports content and attract new fans to the sport. Cons: 1. Competition from established sp...

  There is a bible verse that is deep as it is common; Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? What does it mean   The answer to this verse is obviously "Two men cannot walk together without having first made an appointment. They must have agreed to meet in a certain place and to travel together until they reached their destination.   Sprint Battle understands this agreement to "walk together, to be in a conversation on a directive. Hearing the conversations of other sprint athletes and what they are all talking about is relatively the same thing. Sprint athletes both on and off the track speak about: 1. Exchange tips and advice: Share training methods, techniques, and strategies to improve performance.   2. Support and motivate: Offer encouragement and motivation to help each other push through challenges and setbacks.   3. Socialize and bond: Develop friendships and connections with fellow athletes who understand the unique demands and pressures...
