  • INTERSPORT Launches Mission to Help People Find Their Place in Sport
    INTERSPORT launches mission to help people find their place in sport Study shows that 66% of people say they still haven’t found their place in sport, with 88% saying that they don’t see themselves as athletes. Thursday 23 January 2020 - Bern, Switzerland. INTERSPORT, the world's leading sports ​ retailer, launches “Wherever You Take Training”, the first chapter of a multi-category ​ ​ brand platform to reinforce the brand’s essential place at the beating heart of local sport. Created with advertising agency WE ARE Pi, the new brand platform, “Heart of Sport”, tells ​ ​ real stories from local communities. It reminds people that wherever they take sport, INTERSPORT has the products, people, advice and enthusiasm to get there. With revenue now topping twelve billion euros, INTERSPORT’s new brand-led growth plan comes as the broader retail industry is undergoing radical change driven by changing consumer behaviour, digital transformation and competition from larger online players. “Heart of Sport” is the result of INTERSPORT’s most comprehensive piece of international ​ consumer research to date, with over 1,600 customers in the UK, Germany, and France. The key finding: Everyone needs a place in sport. The research reveals an unfortunate truth; 66% of people say they still haven’t found their place in sport, with 88% saying that they don’t see themselves as athletes. Where, how and with whom people do sport is key to getting the most out their chosen activity, from an emotional, physical and psychological point of view. From your team or training buddy, to the terrain you’re on and the equipment you use - each ingredient helps build confidence and pride, giving you more enjoyment and getting you closer to your goal(s), whatever they might be.

Professional female surfers, in particular, are drawing greater media attention than ever before and are seen by surf companies as the perfect vehicle to develop this global industry further. Because lifestyle branding has been developed as a modern marketing strategy, this thesis examines the lifestyle marketing practices of the three major surfing companies Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy through an investigation of the sponsorship experiences of fifteen sponsored female surfers. The research paradigm guiding this study is an interpretive approach that applies Doris Lessing’s (1991) concept of conformity and Michel Foucault’s (1979) notion of surveillance and the technologies of the self. An ethnographic approach was utilised to examine the main research purpose, namely to: determine the impact of lifestyle marketing by Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy on sponsored female surfers.

  • College Baseball Foundation January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank You For
    College Baseball Foundation P.O. Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.
