phil Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Most of you know I play racquetball for ohio state, and I tour a lot on my own. My main sponser is a company called head racquet sports. They do a lot of tennis, racquetball and winter sports gear. They have been covering me for 3 yrs now. Well this past yr I out played my terms by winning college rball nationals, won 3 tournaments and placed in 7. Plus my ranking jumped over 62 spots in a calender yr. Well now they don't want to upgrade me to a full pro sponser wich means they pay for all my costs, hotels, flights, travel exspenses, ect ect. They pay portional now and I feel I deserve it. I have to use multiple companoes to even keep up and sometime front the money myself. Should I be exploring another company or stick it out. Plus I had an offer to start my own clothing line that really has my intrest. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I am probably not qualified to answer this properly, but if I were you, I'd head towards the direction with the greater earnings potential, while you can. fag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Will your clothing line say "Phag"? No but that would be funny Its either going to be " killer instinct" or " evolution sports" haven't decided yet. But having my own sports clothing line will be uber baller.

KillJoy Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Congrats! I am glad you are doing something you enjoy, and now have a way to cash in on it! Can you not do the clothing line AND have other sponsors? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Im down for some Phil rackball shirts that have your face and "RACKEM" directly below it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Mart Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Starting your own clothing line sounds really exciting, but its a ton of work and not all its cracked up to be. Explore other sponsors - see what they want to offer - take that to your current sponsor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 The thing about sponsors is that you are a walking billboard. Every company wants there name in giant letters above other company's and want specifics. I.e our osu team is nike based, we can't wear anyother brand that rivals nike when wear nike or ohio state gear. If I do my own line I can pretty much pick where I want sponsors placed and how often I want to wear them. Its a lotta lil shit but I'm going to keep talk8ng with them til the end of the week. Anything less than what I want is just not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 you're own "raquet ball" sporting line I'm sure that will blow up real big in the local prep schools! lol And to continue the trend. FAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
