How Juan Soto has just made himself $600+ Million Dollars…. ⚾️ Juan Soto has just set the stage for the largest contract AV (Average Per Year) in MLB history…. all at the age of 26, Soto has proven year after year that he the prodigal son of Major League Baseball and provides instant impact to any team he plays on. Value 🔁: To even be considered for a contract of this magnitude the trade offs between the organization and the player must be close to equal. Soto has slugged a .989 OPS with 41 home runs and an World Series berth. There’s your Value he provides Finances 💵: Since many teams have varied payrolls and amounts of money to spend this free agency the potential teams that could land the services of Soto are minimized. Since said team would have to be able to make and offer estimated to be over $620 Million Dollars to even start a conversation Prediction 🔮: Free agency is very unpredictable and is hard to get a grasp on because teams keep negotiations private and players use teams for leverage but to my knowledge i would suggest that Juan Soto sign with the….. New York Mets on a 12 year $680 Million Dollar Deal…. it just makes sense. Market of New York ✅ Energized fan base after last seasons post season success ✅ Owner willing to spend huge amounts of dollars over the upcoming years to improve the franchise ✅ and Lindor, Vientos, and Senga all guys that are fairly young and ready to improve as a franchise.

The AWRE Sports client list consists of a couple of teams still active in the Major League Baseball (MLB) Playoffs and D1 NCAA National Champions all the way down to High School Programs. How is that possible? Some have begun to ask, as this represents a significant gap in the market. It begins with extremely sophisticated software, wrapped in an intuitive UI/UX, allowing coaches and players at every level to effortlessly use our products. It culminates with ultra-flexible hardware and a proprietary installation process, enabling us to create intricate, custom-installed camera systems regardless of a field’s infrastructure (or lack thereof). Should we focus more on the upstream or downstream segments of the market next? Or can we conquer both? #SportsTech

The parallels between sports and business are undeniable. Last night, the Celtics closed out a sweep of the Pacers to win the Eastern Championship. Each game was closely contested (game 2 not as much), yet the Celtics prevailed in all of them, showing that being just a little bit better than the competition, can make all the difference. In business, similar to sports, differentiation may not require being light years ahead of the competition; but rather excelling in the small things, learning from past experiences, and staying resilient even in challenging times. Leadership and teamwork were key components of the Celtics' success, with stars and role players alike contributing and encouraging each other throughout. Reflecting on this series, what business and life lessons have you gained from recent sporting events? The connections between sports and business offer valuable insights that can be applied beyond the court. It's Ture...I am biased. I'm rooting for the Celts...and I'm thinking they'll be playing teh Mavs...we'll know more later tonight! who do you think will take home the title? #bostonceltics #nbafinals #businesslessons

The NFL's turf debate is heating up, and it's time we talk about what this means for our young athletes 🏈 In my years working with youth sports organizations, I've had countless conversations with coaches, parents, and facility managers about the pros and cons of different playing surfaces. And a recent Sportico article I read dives deep into the complexities of the NFL's playing surface debate. While the pros argue over grass vs. turf, I can't help but think about the ripple effects on youth sports. Some key takeaways from the article: - 92% of NFL players prefer grass fields - Studies show mixed results, but many indicate higher injury rates on turf - Some states are even considering legislation to mandate grass fields Here's the thing: If the NFL - with all its resources - is struggling with this issue, imagine the challenges faced by youth sports organizations around the country. As advocates for young athletes, we need to ask ourselves: - Are we prioritizing player safety in our field choices? - How can we balance durability and cost-effectiveness with injury prevention? - Should we be pushing for more research on playing surfaces for youth sports specifically? Remember, what happens in the pro leagues often trickles down to college, high school, and youth levels. We have a responsibility to stay informed and make the best decisions for our young athletes. What's your take on this debate? How is your community addressing playing surface safety in youth sports? #PlayersHealth #YouthSportsSafety #SportsSurfaces P.S. Curious about the full story? Check out Sportico's "Turf Wars" series for an in-depth look at this complex issue linked in the comments.

One thing MLS clubs do better than most Build fan communities... Supporter clubs are subgroups of fans, created by fans, typically rallied around a specific cause. Clubs even promote the support groups on their website. Atlanta Untied has six official supporter groups, each with a bit of a different purpose using the team as the connective glue. If you search Atlanta United on Google, "supporter groups" is the second link that comes up. . . . Fans are almost self-segmenting themselves to create their own unique identity, experience, and association with the club. Teams in other leagues have tried to manufacture this concept, but it seems hard to replicate if you don't have fans leading the charge. MLS clubs allowing these groups to be known and associated with the club adds a layer of credibility and develops an even deeper association with the club than if the supporter groups were unofficially tied to the team. What are the best supporter groups in sports you've seen? #fanbuilding #sportsmarketing #sportsbiz

Tonight in Philly begins a new National Football League (NFL) RIVALRY Jalen vs Jayden🏈 VR and QB Training (see article) clearly has helped Jayden Daniels, potentially so much so that Legendary QB Ron Jaworski on Audacy, Inc. WIP Philly Sports Talk Radio said "he's the most advanced rookie QB EVER" Jaws thought CJ Stroud was the best last year, but Jayden has exceeded him, specifically around footwork, poise and the game looks slower for him as if he has seen it all before...HE HAS in VR playing a video game basically seeing everything and anything that can happen in faster speed...ultimately slowing the game down. This is very high praise and only set the stage for a new EPIC Rivalry. These two teams have not meet with both have winning records since the 90's (Body Bag game). The Washington Commanders turnaround is clearly driven by new ownership in Josh Harris. The same Josh Harris behind the Philadelphia 76ers and THE PROCESS (an analytics innovative strategy). While it was innocent when Josh purchased the New Jersey Devils and shocking when he acquired the Redskins, it never really hit home and perhaps still hasn't until tonight for Philly fans. While Jayden started using VR at Louisiana State University, Josh Harris' organizations are always cutting edge when it comes to Innovation. Sometimes pure business sense and all the innovation in world doesn't equal COMMON SENSE. You need to think about the fans and the Philly fans will start to become Sixers enemies if the Commodores start to win games vs the Philadelphia Eagles. The NBA and NHL fans do not overlap on a Venn diagram as much as Sixers - Eagles fan base does. Plus, the Devils are not an arch rival and the Skins haven't been for decades but are poised to become one starting tonight. My biggest fear is seeing Joelle Embid who is already on the Philly fans sh@t list tonight in the visitor's owners box sitting next to Josh:) Sometimes you need to READ THE ROOM, or better yet read your fan base⌛😢 or be prepared when and if you hoist an 🏀🏆Obien Trophy on Broad Street to be booed👎Perhaps it wont or doesn't matter🤑 https://lnkd.in/ebhrjt3T

The record breaking #2024 WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) season is worth celebrating, but what took it so long to get here? 🏀 Let’s be clear: 👉🏼The league's competitive spirit has always been fierce 🔥 👉🏼The players have always had charisma and personality, both on and off the court 😎 👉🏼The intense team rivalries? They were just as captivating years ago as they are today 🥷🏼 👉🏼The quality of the product hasn’t changed—it was outstanding then, and it remains outstanding now 😍 So, what held back the #WNBA's success for so long? 💪🏼A lack of confidence from rightsholders: The hesitance to invest in women's sports often stemmed from outdated stereotypes about marketability and profitability. Rightsholders were slow to acknowledge that the #WNBA offered an equally, compelling sports narrative, like the many male-dominated leagues. This skepticism resulted in missed opportunities for growth and revenue 🗣️A lack of vision from brands: Too many brands failed to recognize the value of aligning with a league that had all the right ingredients for fan engagement and brand loyalty. Their focus was often limited to traditional sports markets, ignoring the potential of an eager and underserved audience 📊So, what changed? The solution lay in the presence of precise, actionable #data tailored to #women’s #sports and its fanbase. With metrics that truly captured the #WNBA's value—as well as that of key players like Caitlin #Clark and Angel #Reese — brands and broadcasters finally had a clear roadmap for effective investment. This data-driven insight gave brands the confidence to commit and helped rightsholders see the league’s untapped potential. Hoping this new era of women's sports continues to drive by foresight and informed action, not by the hesitation that held it back in the past. https://lnkd.in/e5es5SBg Fearless Women WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) @nba Sports Innovation Lab SportsPro Just Women's Sports #sportsbusiness #womenssports #womensbasketball #trends #2024
