Have they announced their new ambassadors as of yet?
Before I start my long drawn out rant. I would like to say that I was part of a certain company dealing with swimmers and teams and deciding which athletes would get sponsorship money. Now onto the good stuff. This is one of the best ideas any swim company has ever come out with whether it be Speedo, Tyr, Arena, Finis, A3, Nike, Dolphin or anyone else I am forgetting. Swim companies are always looking for the gold medalist or the person that’s going to get the most recognition i.e. Missy Franklin. But what they don’t look at are the swimmers that potential he could do something with a bit of help. For example this year after graduation there will… Read more »
I love this and wish more companies would do it too! There are a lot of athletes out there who might not be world class but have a story to tell or are unique in ways that would tie to great marketing.
Great for marketing, great for athletes that meet that little push great for everyone involved.
Soooo their pool is unsponsored pro swimmers and masters swimmers?
I am pretty sure they would open this up to everyone if it weren’t for NCAA rules/regulations. NCAA is pretty strict about free product & sponsorships and it could affect their eligibility.
I wasn’t criticizing Adidas for the disclaimer to college students. It was wise that they added it.
There are many swimmers who have graduated swimming at a national / international level who are not pro
By pro I didn’t mean sponsored, I meant pursuing swimming as a career/means of financial support.
Interesting concept of letting swimmers self-nominate to represent them…. interesting to see who ended up being the 4.
Right? Its been a great decision so far for some Adidas swimmers to forego a college education, turn pro, and then miss the Olympics.
Mr Andrew?
It’s been a while we didn’t talk about him on swimswam….
Imagine if Michael Andrew swam in NCAA at NC State! It would explode all swimswam records in terms of comments.
What a great visualization! SwimSwam, Michael Andrew, NC State. It ! It ! It ! Comments would go nuclear! 🙂
Nice work Don bashing a very humble, kind, considerate kid on the internet. Way to support American swimmers. Narrow minded and childish. You must be an Olympian yourself to talk so brash. Now back to the real post—looking for the Next Generation Athlete to join other amazing adidas swimmers.
Bashing? Or maybe reality. Taking chump change from a supplement company over a Stanford education is hardly a wise choice. Not understanding that there are several swimmers equally as talented and hungry as you is crazy. He may or may not become an Olympian. Passing on an education when you might make money as a pro is a gamble no one should ever be advised upon in this sport. If you want to buy into his “sure thing” hype go ahead.
Wait four years MA will make the team in the 100 breast and I believe he can make it in the 200 IM and butterfly is kind of open.
He can still go to college , no? In effect he’d probably choose somewhere like Liberty who btw have the worst ‘whiteboy gospel’singers in history. Virginia what hath ye becometh?
Yes, in the fine print it states that swimmers taking part in NCAA/ NAIA swimming are not eligible for this program. If you swimmer is looking to forego this option as an athlete. If selected you would need to make that decision before taking the spot.
Hey my son he’s 13 (7th grade) is interesting in applying would this give up his high school and NCAA eligibility?
That is an excellent question. I’m rather shocked this answer isn’t clear in the solicit lines. It is possible Adidas is not going to go out with a position on this, which would not be for best.
On the other hand, US junior or national team members and some other elite club athletes are comped apparel. That hasn’t created any NCAA noise so far as I am aware.
I thought it was spelled out pretty clearly if you read the entire post.
😆 😆
Being given apparel is a bit different than getting a 10% cut of any sales you contribute to. Also, at least in my day, Speedo was pretty generous giving free apparel, bags, and suits to anyone on a sponsored club who made it the NSCA Juniors and above. It’s not just for national teamers.
Swimmer – I wouldn’t recommend it, but usually you can contact a compliance department of an NCAA school and they’ll give you feedback.
