SustainabilityThe SportsPodium conceptualisation started in 2012. After two years of research and development, MyRugbyCV.com was born and quickly signed up 7 000 rugby players, just in one city. In 2016, the incredible disruptive capacity of blockchain technology broadened our horizons and our ideas matured, refining our reputation and talent identification algorithms into what is now SportsPodium.
Now jump forward to 2018, SportsPodium already has a network of celebrity sports ambassadors across several sporting disciplines in each region. This network of recognised, household names, along with community interaction, will ensure large-scale user adoption of the platform.
But the real beauty lies in blockchain - the SportsPodium blockchain will be at the heart of this system to enable sportspersons to capture their daily training, dietary and competition information while being rewarded with tokens. The elegant convergence of token technology, social interaction and real-world human activity, we will create a thriving ecosystem with innumerable commercial opportunities.
And blockchain technology has already been lauded as the biggest contributor to future innovation, which strengthens the sustainability of the SportsPodium value offering.
The best part of the solution? Regardless of the athlete’s age or level, they can earn an income and market themselves to the right clubs or sports bodies, assisting them to reach the highest level possible – all depending on their talent and drive.
Implementing this sustainable solution, purely based on merit, it will greatly aid in promoting transformation at grassroots level that will carry through into the senior and professional levels.
Other factors that contribute to ensuring the long-term success of SportsPodium:
- Sports is already one of the largest economies in the world – we are directly transposing that into the crypto world.
- The promise of crypto and blockchain is that it’s able to monetize activities that were previously unmonetizable.
- We’re not doing something new, we’re just going to a level that was previously not possible.
- The world has already made up its mind that blockchain will take over – transforming the sports industry is the first logical step, and one that will ripple over to various other global industries.
- Encouraging manageable corporate social investment into sports facilities and the technology infrastructure.
- Creating a future for many children. Many young talents identified through this project will go on to make a living from sport. The ripple effect of upliftment is potentially enormous.
- Providing a fair and just governance platform in sport with verified structured and usable and reliable data.
