Are two athletes competing for sponsorships adversaries? Traditionally, yes. If you ask an agent, YES. But soon.... no. Soon, the athletes can choose to work together. We're building a better tomorrow.

NxtStride Sports is currently in a LOCK DOWN! Recently, we've uncovered something quite thrilling that requires our immediate focus, and during this development phase, we need to keep our doors temporarily shut. Thank you for your patience!

Services are back up. It seems the issue impacted users across southern Europe. Thanks for letting us know if something is still not working!

Our back end services are down. We are working with the infrastructure provider to fix this. Thanks for your patience!

As we march through the postseason and to the national final, we want to thank the incredible sponsors who are supporting our playoff run and making it all possible! You can find out more about these local businesses, what they do, and how you can support them at goballardfc.com/official-partners

Traditional agencies perpetuate systematic undervaluation using historical data The gap: → Female elite athletes: €47K average → Male athletes: €987K average NxtStride’s gender-neutral valuation breaks this cycle Performance, not prejudice.

Hey you, champion! Did you know 80% new partnerships are kicked off in September and October? This is the time of the year companies are thinking about 2026 budgets. Time for your to make an introduction and land that endorsement deal! #sportsmarketing

94% of European companies ignore women’s sports Smart brands get: → 11.7% engagement rates → vs 2.4% industry standard Female athletes build authentic relationships through necessity—not lifestyle content We verify and connect true talent.

The discovery feature for sponsors is now in closed beta as well. In discovery mode the sponsor company will pay a 5% finders fee that comes with a partnership draft included. Except for under 1K€ deals we forfeit our fee to support small sports & businesses. #buildinpublic @nxtstride.com

Do you want to win both the game and the deals? You need partnerships. Both sides deliver value. The sponsor helps you pay the bills, and you help their business. Best time to introduce yourself is just around the corner: most companies start thinking about 2026 budgets in September & October.

Each NxtStride athlete gets their own, personalized partnership portal. They can share this with prospective partners to cut through the noise, let them discover how to collaborate for business value, and land deals. NxtStride takes 0% off your deal.

Here's the system agents DON'T want you to know: Sept/Oct = 55% of decisions Jan/Feb = signing time This timing works for 80% of sponsor companies.But agents keep you IGNORANT. Knowledge is power. Timing is everything. Agents = OPTIONAL #SponsorshipSecrets #AthleteFirst

94% of European sponsors miss out completely on a segment which is growing 300% per year, WHILE providing superior ROI and results across the board. What is it? Female athletes and women in sports. We put together a comprehensive package about this in our blog.

June truth bomb: Only 2% of sponsorship decisions happen in June. Your agent won't tell you. Because you'd stop paying monthly retainers during DEAD periods. Smart athletes use June to: Prepare target lists for September But agents prefer you stay busy. (And paying) For nothing. #NoAgentNeeded

The BIGGEST lie agents tell: "Sponsorship happens year-round." TRUTH: 55% of ALL deals happen in just September-October. They spread this lie because... Seasonal work doesn't justify year-round fees. Want proof? Track when your current sponsors actually signed you. Bet it was fall. #AthleteFirst

Agents love spring. Athletes pay PREMIUM fees for "urgent" deals. BUT: Only 6% and 4% of deals happen these months. You're paying extra for scraps. Meanwhile... Smart athletes are building for September. Agents need you: PANICKED and dependent. Not educated and independent. #SponsorshipSecrets

Why agents HATE February: Smart athletes start preparing for NEXT year. While the agent sells you false hope about "current opportunities"... Companies are thinking about their NEXT budget cycle. Only 9% of money moves in Feb. 6% in March. Build long term. #SponsorshipTiming

Your agent takes credit for January signings. And 20% of your money. Those deals were decided in September/October. Decisions were made months ago. But agents keep this timeline secret. Because then you'd realize their "last-minute magic" is bullshit. Skip the middleman. #NoAgentNeeded

Our beta version is open to athletes. One key feature is data driven valuation, with an easy adjustment according to your current situation. Beta signup open, check bio! #sponsorshipopportunity

Three reasons you don’t have sponsors even though you keep winning every race, every matchup. Keep reading, and please consider sharing this to an athlete you know. 20+ years of experience condensed into actionable info! 🧵 1/5

Female athletes produce exceptional results in sponsorship, when done right. Sponsors, wake up! #womeninsports #sponsorship nxtstride.com/blog/guide-t...

Ever wonder why your agent goes QUIET in July/August? Only 1-2% of sponsorship decisions happen in summer. Instead of preparing you for September... (when 25% of decisions happen) They let you waste energy on DEAD months. Why? Confused athletes pay more fees. #AthleteFirst

Companies are finalizing decisions they made in Sept/Oct. Not in their pipeline? You're screwed until next year. But agents won't tell you this timing... Because then you'd realize: You don't need them. Only 8% of decisions happen in November. Smart money was made in Sept/Oct. #SponsorshipSecrets

The BIGGEST sponsorship secret agents hide: 30% of companies make decisions in OCTOBER. While your agent is "working on it"... Small businesses are sitting in meetings. Deciding their 2025 budgets. You could email that bike shop owner RIGHT NOW. #SponsorshipTiming

Your agent told you "be patient"... Here's what they DON'T want you to know: 25% of sponsorship decisions happen in SEPTEMBER. Back from vacation, planning, deciding who to sponsor. RIGHT NOW. But agents keep you in the dark. Knowledge = power. #NoAgentNeeded

I’m looking for digital marketing leads for European countries. You will receive a share of @nxtstride.com revenue for all subs from your geo. Ping me if interested! #jobopportunity #remotework #marketing (Please share in your network if you’ve got hungry marketers in it!)

Your agent isn't telling you this: You have 30 DAYS to prepare for sponsorship season. While they're on vacation charging you 20%... Companies are planning next year's budgets. Miss this window = wait 12 months. Agents keep this timing SECRET because they want you dependent. #SponsorshipSecrets

Your sport made you disciplined enough to master anything. NxtStride works exactly like athletic progression - measurable steps, clear results, fair rewards. Upload your accomplishments, let the platform match you with sponsors who value outcome-based partnerships. Simple.
