Sponsorships are a Serious Revenue Stream for Agents and Athletes
Athlete sponsorship dollars are in many cases are far larger than their professional league earnings. Deals for some athletes have reached over 100 million dollars. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? In just two decades, athletes have seen their salaries rise from the thousands into the millions of dollars. Average pro athletes now make 10 to 100 times the salaries of earlier athletes. Top athletes have seen a hundredfold increase. The rapid rise is sponsorship dollars is due to the realization that athletes are opinion leaders and celebrities in our society. A company will want to take advantage of this and increase the popularity of the company image and audience reach. What athletes use and promote brings in large numbers of clients for the firm’s product, label, trademark, or logo. The sports agent is typically the number one contact for the sponsors. He handled almost all of the communications and contract negotiations. An agency with many athletes may have designated departments and contacts for the agent but in almost all cases the agent is the point of control.
The explosion of the sports industry worldwide continues year after year. While other business opportunities are declining, sports have maintained its upward momentum. With the growth of athlete salaries, sponsorships, and team revenues, a growing need has developed for athletes to have a sponsor literate agent/marketing manager seek sponsor dollars for them. The percentage of today’s athletes need to require a sponsor manager is at an all-time high. In order to achieve success as a marketing manager in today’s complex global economy, it is necessary to have an understanding of how to seek sponsorship and endorsements. As part of this one needs to know key principles, directions, contracts, rules, procedures, regulations, and the specialized requirements of the individual sports.
