25 Pro Fighters, Managers, and Coaches Reveal Their Best Tips to Land a Sponsorship by Solmadrid Vazquez Follow Me on Twitter Here
25 Pro Fighters, Managers, and Coaches Reveal Their Best Tips to Land a Sponsorship by Solmadrid Vazquez Follow me on Twitter here. Sponsorships can make or break you. The problem is, the process of landing a sponsorship is counter-intuitive. Being a great fighter is NOT enough. I’m sure you’ve seen fighters who land sponsors left and right. What’s their secret? How come they can get 27 sponsors in one day and you can’t even get one freakin’ rep to look at you? What THE hell is going on?! To get to this bottom of this conundrum, I contacted some of the best fighters, managers, and trainers in the game and asked them a simple question: “What is your #1 tip to land a sponsorship?” Each tip has a custom tweet link after it so feel free to share your favorite tips with your followers. Let’s Get Ready To Ruuuummmmbllllllleee!!! Frank Shamrock Frank Shamrock is a retired MMA Fighter. He was the first UFC Middleweight Champion and retired as the four-time defending undefeated champion. He was also the first WEC Light Heavyweight Champion, and the first Strikeforce Middleweight Champion. He was a brand spokesman for Strikeforce and is a Sports Commentator for Showtime. Frank can be found at his site, on Facebook, and on Twitter. My number one tip to landing a sponsorship is presenting yourself properly. Present a long-term consistent growth plan that somebody, or a sponsor, could attach themselves to, so you can show how you will grow together. “Present a long-term consistent growth plan.” Tweet this. -

Jornalista responsável: Anna Carolina Cortez Diagramação e tratamento: Fábio Vantini Direção de Arte - Big Blue Licenses - Monica Arruda e Carlos Ameni Impressão:Type Brasil INTRODUÇÃO Bad Boy, a primeira em lutas! A Bad Boy chegou ao Brasil em 1992 através de Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso, um casal de surfistas que possuía uma marca de surf, a ST COMP. A Bad Boy se tornou referência nacional. Patrocinou atletas e eventos, formou campeões e apoiou as lutas até mesmo quando os olhos da população estavam voltados para outras modalidades de esporte. E, no momento em que os holofotes se voltam para os ringues e mostram ao mundo um pouco mais sobre as artes marciais, a Bad Boy mostra que sempre esteve presente nos tatames, nos ringues e na vida dos atletas. Nas páginas a seguir apresentamos um pouco do que fez a Bad Boy se tornar a “Imagem da Vitória, a Marca do Guerreiro”. 1982 O INÍCIO A Bad Boy surgiu no início dos anos 80, em San Diego, Califórnia como uma marca local de surf, skate e motorsports, patrocinando atletas com personalidade forte e de atitude como o Havaiano Johnny Boy Gomes. Dez anos depois da criação da Bad Boy, dois novos personagens entraram em cena: Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso. Para promover a ST Comp, loja de surf da qual eram donos, eles realizavam campeonatos de surf no Brasil e viajavam para todos os cantos do mundo para fazer pesquisas de mercado. -

Studijní program: B7507 Specializace v pedagogice Studijní obor: Tělesná výchova a sport se zaměřením na vzdělávání - Biologie, geologie a environmentalistika se zaměřením na vzdělávání 2018 Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem bakalářskou práci na téma Vznik a rozvoj bojového sportu MMA v České republice a v USA vypracovala pod vedením vedoucího práce samostatně za použití v práci uvedených pramenů a literatury. Dále prohlašuji, že tato práce nebyla využita k získání jiného nebo stejného titulu. V Praze dne 19.4.2018 Poděkování Tímto bych ráda poděkovala všem, kteří mi byli vždy oporou během vytváření mé bakalářské práce. Zvláštní poděkování patří zejména vedoucímu práce panu PhDr. Martinu Dlouhému, PhD., který mi poskytl cenné rady a nápady. Dále bych ráda poděkovala Jakubu Šnebergerovi a Zdeňku Vítovi za spolupráci při vytváření fotek obsažených v práci. A v neposlední řadě i Viktorovi Peštovi za spolupráci během rozhovoru. ANOTACE Základem bakalářské práce je popsat vznik a rozvoj MMA jak v České republice, tak v USA. V práci je věnována pozornost zejména historii MMA, ale najdeme zde i organizace věnující se tomuto sportu a nejlepší zápasníky z obou zemí. Teoretická část je rozdělena na tři velké kapitoly, ve kterých je MMA obecně, MMA v České republice a MMA v USA. Součástí bakalářské práce je i řízený rozhovor se zápasníkem, který si prošel nejen zápasením v České republice, ale i ve Spojených státech. -
