RE: New platform launching for blockchain based social media platform aimed at the global sport community

in #steemit7 years ago

Man this could be so game changing. I'm a coach at a under funded high school and we could use any kind of help for more equipment, a better pool, etc etc, and I know I'm not the only one with these kinds of concerns. Blockchain and cryptocurrency has been about improving the lives all around the planet, and this could DEFINITELY add to that. Imagine all the extremely talented, but impoverished kids that don't achieve their true potential because they don't have access to all the same facilities/clinics/coaches that more fortunate athletes have access to. This could be so big and I will be monitoring this like a hawk. resteeming/following.

You have captured the exact essence of what @sportspodium is about. We look forward to enabling your school, your learners, your athletes and your local community. Please keep following us for further developments. Thank you for spreading the news.

Thanks for trying to build another medium for me to able to help my athletes with.

This is exactly what I understood as well. Too many kids with amazing talents are lost through the cracks. If there is a platform like this, we'll see more talented kids rise to the 'podium'.

Hi @hoodrych . There are many poorer schools and clubs around the world, and besides the obvious disadvantage of poor facilities and equipment, there athletes also generally do not have the same opportunities to be seen and discovered. By making the journey more transparent and involving real athletes that made it to the highest level, one can use the power of role modeling, combined with more ways to see the amazing talent these athletes have that goes to waste as well. That is very exciting. The sports world is one of those where a very few control the flows of money and gets to decided who makes it and who does not .... I think that is a space ready for the disruption that Crypto can bring. If you can do it in a way that everyone wins, well besides for some individuals that milks the system, everyone wins.
