Participating partners will have the chance to amplify messaging through this media and social media content as well. 10 SPONSORS & PARTNERS BENEFITS AND RESULTS 11 SPONSOR PARTNERS Partners and Sponsors of the Gold Meets Golden Platform will capture the value of connecting with athletes, the Sports & Olympic movements and Hollywood celebrities to advance marketing strategies through vast press coverage, branded activations with tastemakers and influencers, invitations for executives, vendors and corporate VIPs to parties and events, branded photo ops, product placement and more! Seth Myers Supports Team USA Nicole Kidman & Missy Franklin Chris Hemsworth & Olympians Past Partners include: 12 SELECT PRESS Over 650 Local, National and International sports & entertainment outlets have covered GMG events in the past, garnering over 750 million media impressions for sponsors from broadcast, print and online media. See goldmeetsgolden.com for full media results. 13 SOCIAL MEDIA Celebrity and Athlete attendees buzz about the GMG events on social networks and post pictures to their several thousands of followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, which are then proliferated via media and sponsors to on average over 8-10 million impressions. 14 CUSTOM SPONSOR PROGRAMS In addition to universal exposure benefits, Gold Meets Golden will work with Sponsors to tailor special activity that directly produces results toward a particular partner’s goals. Examples from past include: EQUINOX FITNESS Equinox Fitness wanted to reach celebrities and professional athletes to become members of their gyms, and to particularly showcase their newly renovated flagship club in Los Angeles. Events were hosted at the club directly, and custom media segments were created for large outlets like Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood, showing top celebs in the space and even athletes like Gold-Medal swimmer Missy Franklin using their pool and facilities. RESULTS: Equinox is currently known as the top, elite celebrity gym in the city. ` 15 CUSTOM SPONSOR PROGRAMS P&G “THANK YOU MOM” Goal: Amplify the “Thank You Mom” Olympic Seth Myers campaign within both the Hollywood & Sports communities. Activation: A video crew documented special Jessica Chastain messages from the athletes and celebrities who & Mom attended GMG events saying why they couldn’t achieve their goals without their mothers. These messages were shared on social media platforms. Nate Berkus & Mom RESULTS: The #ThankYouMom hashtag generated over 25 million exposures, and P&G became known as a mom and family-loving brand in further parts of both Golden Globes industries. Gi1 Bag 16 CUSTOM SPONSOR PROGRAMS COCA-COLA’S OLYMPIC “MUSEUM” Coca-Cola wanted to prove their commitment as the longest-running sponsor of the Olympics and as a great long-term partner for Hollywood. A special display of Coca-Cola memorabilia, artifacts, and several years of real Olympic torches was created so that VIP attendees could have a chance to really interact with the brand. RESULTS: The Coca-Cola memorabilia imagery ran in several broadcast, print and online outlets and their messaging of commitment to the Games & Hollywood carries on year after year. 17 PHOTO & VIDEO OPP Attendees and sponsors have the chance to participate in a fun, Olympic-themed branded photo opportunity to be distributed via physical prints and the media. Attendees can even record a message of support that will be shown to the 2016 Olympians. April Ross, Rebecca Soni, Jen Kessey Chris Evans & Special Olympians Evan Lysacek & Gabby Douglas 18 AWARDS SHOW PARTICIPATION Certain athletes will also attend the red-carpet pre-show and the Golden Globe Awards® ceremony, with a chance to shout-out to sponsors. Each year, thousands of local, national and international press outlets take to the Globes carpet, creating great exposure for brands and sponsors whose athletes attend as special guests of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Athletes interacted with various Hollywood celebrities and nominees, including Ben Affleck, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, George Clooney, Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, Connie Britton, Halle Berry, Kerry Washington, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Anne Hathaway & many more. 19 BRANDED MEDIA INTEGRATION At the London 2012 and Sochi 2014 Games, GMG provided an important platform in the media for Hollywood to be able to directly wish “Good Luck” to the competing athletes from back home. Sponsors were featured in the pieces. Examples Include: Gymnast Gabby Douglas was surprised Gabby Douglas the night before her Gold Medal win by & Vampire Diaries the cast of her favorite show “The Vampire Diaries,” who wished her luck and even offered her a supporting role on the show.

  • The Fastest Humans on Earth: Environmental Surroundings and Family Influences That Spark Talent Development in Olympic Speed Skaters
    Roeper Review, 40:21–35, 2018 Copyright © The Roeper Institute ISSN: 0278-3193 print / 1940-865X online DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/02783193.2017.1393710 GEOGRAPHIC-CONTEXTUAL INFLUENCES ON TALENT DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE The Fastest Humans on Earth: Environmental Surroundings and Family Influences That Spark Talent Development in Olympic Speed Skaters Carol L. Ott Schacht and Kenneth A. Kiewra This qualitative research study addressed this question: What influence did early environmental surroundings and family have on the talent development of a cohort of American speed skaters who each competed in four Olympic Games during the 1980s and 1990s? The skaters were Bonnie Blair, Dave Cruikshank, and Dan Jansen. Independent interviews with each skater uncovered rich and unique stories with common threads. Regarding environmental surroundings, all hailed from communities in the Midwest with a rich skating tradition, an oversized hockey rink or 400-m oval, a large skating club, and strong coaches and teammates. In addition, all gravitated to Milwaukee, a speed skating Mecca with ideal training facilities, where they crossed and joined paths. Regarding family, all were born into skating or athletic families and were raised by supportive and guiding parents who were involved but not pushy. Siblings also played an influential role for Blair and Jansen, who were the youngest behind long lines of brothers and sisters who were also talented skaters and who paved the way for their youngest siblings. Keywords: athletic performance, early environment, expertise, family influence, parenting, sibling influence, speed skating, talent development Speed skaters are fascinating to watch, with their fluid move- The present study addressed this deficit by investigating the ments, bent-forward posture to minimize draft, and breakneck environmental surroundings and family influences of three of speed.
