Who is the SportsPodium Target Market?

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed!

Who are we targeting and why they will use it

Our target market is aimed at all sporting discipline participants, clubs, schools, coaches, administrators, as well as professionals like doctors, physiotherapists and supporters as service providers to the sporting industry. With the millennial generation surpassing the Baby Boomers as the largest generation alive, the social media generation combined with the millennials generally marked as the “Always On” generation with their extensive use of digital communications, media, and technologies, there is a continuous and comfortable engagement and sharing of information on social media.

The solution will provide the following benefits to the sporting community:

● Implement a sustainable solution based on merit which will promote transformation at grass root level, and will carry through into the senior and professional levels.

● Improve Community Relations - Promote different sports disciplines in the homes of many and ultimately expose players from all walks of life to the relevant sporting bodies.

● Encourage manageable corporate social investment into sports facilities and the technology infrastructure. Create a future for many children. Many young talents identified through this project will go on to make a living from sport. The ripple effect in terms of upliftment is enormous.

● Provide a social communication platform / forum for participants, coaches and administrators to address their needs and share ideas and thoughts.

● Provide and integrate a support and empowerment platform for coaches and administrators on a multitude of sporting disciplines encouraging knowledge sharing and management

● Provide an education and training platform for the empowerment of the human resource base

● Provide a basis and a communication platform for volunteers to adequately support the international sporting system

● Provide a governance platform in sport through an alignment of the unstructured data into more structured usable data.

● Provide a platform to protect the rights and interests of talented athletes under the age of 18, but which will incorporate, involve and reach all sports people.

In order to build an integrated sports community, there are key classes of participants, each with their own driving rationale for joining and using the platform, and each deriving specific benefit from such usage.
