  So well said, so well executed by Bandit, we need more of this honesty and light shed on one of the things that’s killing our sport from the centre. If you ever want to expand to the UK we’d love to have you ❤

  Bandit’s changing running for the better. “Unsponsored” is brilliant and I can only imagine the feel-good boost this gives you, deservedly. I can’t wait to see Bandit reach the full time sponsorship era!

  This is absolutely sick and I 100% love what you're doing for athletes and the track community, but your prices also feel high for running gear. I understand it's a smaller company and there are increased costs when you can't mass produce products overseas, but is there anything else prompting this?

  One time, I stayed at a motel 6 in Albuquerque for US indoors. I was able to afford to compete by driving/moving (with a car packed with all my stuff). Going from Oklahoma to Sacramento. I was praying not to have my car broke into and robbed while i was competing and it was unattended for hours.

  In Japan there is something called 実業団or corporate teams. Essentially, Japanese athletes will work for a company part time (maybe 4 hrs a day, 5 days a week) and then will train with their corporate team. Often provided cheap housing, and discounted shoes or clothing through the company they work with. In exchange, their kits are whatever the corporation has connections with. Ie: a runner could work for Honda, and will be given a Nike kit that has Honda written across it. I think this is a great model bc it allows runners to still work a little but not have the burden of a full time job while still training w a team/ get discounted housing and clothes, while companies get advertising

  It's a shame that track and field doesn't make as much money as other big sports, even though running is loved by people of all ages, genders, places, and incomes. Even some of top athletes don't get paid well, as mentioned in the video. It's not just in the U.S.; it's the same everywhere. I hope one day track and field becomes more popular and more athletes get the pay they deserve.

  I'm working towards creating a FREE OF CHARGE aviation network {North America} primarily for the Freedom and Liberty community, but after watching this video, as a competitive runner myself, I would be delighted to give unsponsored track and field athletes free air travel to meets to save them lots of money if they're interested. But be patient, I'm working on it as fast as I can. But this video made my day because now I have a group of people who could really benefit from what I'm trying to create. It gives me motivation to forge ahead. Thanks for the fantastic video.

  Incredible isn't it that Sebastian Coe has had three terms as the President of World Athletics and yet here we are, track and field athletes still struggling to make a living. The fish always stinks from the head, and these people need to held accountable. By the way, today Coe is having a photoshot with the Ukraine President.

• 
  @johnwilson57432 күн бұрын

  Sorry, your logic doesn't flow. What have athletes struggling to make a living (except for that small handful of the very top group) got to do with Seb Coe being President of World Athletics? Yes, he was a very successful athlete himself and does look at things from an athletes perspective. But he doesn't provide tens of millions for the "average" runner who wants to make a living at their chosen sport but isn't good enough? The same with Rugby. (going by your title) Top Rugby players who play for the National Teams and the Top Clubs, do OK financially. But those at lower grades are lucky to survive as Professional Rugby Players. Essentially, they play for the love of their sport. Like most Runners.

  @@johnwilson5743 in your opinion. Ok, a little more information so you can understand. 90% of athletes attending this Olympic Games are either funding themselves, or relying on Government funding which is never guaranteed. The Olympics the pinnacle of world sport, and the majority of athletes have to beg, borrow or steal to just get there. Like in any business, the leader, in the case of World Athletics Seb Coe is accountable for every strategic decision that is made when he is in charge. Therefore, over his three terms as President he has done nothing at all with his ex team to assist Athletes who he wants to use to promote the sport to earn a basic income, this should be his no 1 priority in my opinion. You probably wouldnt know how many Olympic medal winners have after their Games been declared bankrupt, in my book that isn´t right. So yes, any CEO or leader must do that, lead, manage, innovate and grow the business for all or leave. Just because he was a good athlete doesnt make him a good business man, and he isnt.

  ​@johnwilson5743 Sorry, your logic doesn't flow. Most of the top track athletes aren't decided by who makes the national team or even makes it to the finals in the Olympics, it's who medals at worlds or the Olympics regardless of time. So it's a much higher selection criteria

  @@Astro2024 Hi Astro. Please read the comments carefully next time. The national team I referred to was in Rugby, not a national team in athletics. Plus, it is World Record holders PLUS Gold medalists at Olympics (NOT World Champs or even Indoor Champs) who attract the greatest sponsorship deals in Athletics. Of course, some top grade runners get certain sponsorship deals because of the way they look, not just results. Pay attention to details before commenting.

  @jacobdoyle4204 сағат бұрын

  Hi John, this is track and field, not rugby. Your weird equivalency is not the analogy you thought it was. Your entire argument is moot because Shacarri's deal proves it wrong simply in her existence. One of the highest paid athletes with zero Olympic experience. Gawking to people to 'pay attention to details' is not the argument you think it is, mostly because the details you personally pay attention to are seemingly irrelevant. To be specific, the OP was implying that Seb Coe has failed drastically at advocating for the athlete, a point you seem to have missed. Lastly, your implication that athletes get deals because of how they look is ludicrous 😂😂😂😂😂 a fashionable appearance doesn't do anything in t&f but piss ignorant people off.

  Non-shoe sponsors are the way.
