Sponsorship...What's the Deal???
If any of you out there have ever dealt with ahtletic sponsorhsip (shoes, races, teams, product) you know its BRUTALLY competitive. In the past, I have been blessed with always having good sponsor from the time I was in high school playing tennis (WILSON RAQUETS, ELLESSE CLOTHES, TOURNAGRIP etc.) to post -college with running.
Well 2006 started out with a bang as a former sponsor NIKE was back on the band-wagon with shoes , clothes and running gigs (they would even pay me!!!!) WOOOHOOOO!!!! SHOW ME THE CLIENTS....
Fast forward to February : NIKE kinda waffles on their deal with RUNTEX ( as they did in Dallas) ..WTF? I have shoes, clothes but no dates for the running gigs.......sad.
Then yesterday another former sponsor of mine POWERBAR sent me a package!!!! I think WOOOHOOO POWER BAR is up and running again aftger a two-year absence. The reality is I got a nice box of POWER BARS and a later explaining that since I was a former sponsored athlete that they are trying to give first time ahtletes a chance...blah....blah....blah....blah....
NIKE JUST DO IT!!!!!
