The SportsPodium Project

SportsPodium is a blockchain-based information ledger for sportspeople and sporting communities. SportsPodium will reward everyday sportspeople of all ages, across all levels of proficiency, with crypto-based rewards for tracking their day-to-day sporting and training activities, submitting this information electronically, and building a digital storyboard of their sporting life.
As the demographic of our users are all sports participants, focussing on ages 12-30, the interface will be highly social media driven, and gamified to ensure daily interaction with the system, and an element of fun and challenge when entering information or looking at your profile.
While building the largest multisport database in the world, we will use hyper targeted advertising to drive revenue inflows into the platform to the benefit of all platform stakeholders. User Adoption User adoption is key to the success of a solution like this and to build aggressive and early user adoption, we will use a network of celebrity Ambassadors per sporting code, supported by a connected spider web of their Friends (associated influencers) in each region. These will all be sports stars with major media and social media reach and influence, that will be rewarded out of the token emission and revenue generation for growing the platform usage. We have unique access to these stars through a direct network of Olympians and sports PR resources we are working with currently.
The SportsPodium user base will include everyday sportspeople of all ages – from the purely recreational amateur, through to the top-flight pro. The goal is to ultimately ensure that every household with sports participants earns and spends some of our tokens (known as “PODs”) to create a widespread POD economy, tapping into significant portions of the global sports industry. Both the Blockchain and Dapp will be launched by end Q1 2018.

Token Economy

Token economy principles and rules will be used to govern the SportsPodium internal economy and drive value, through both growth in number of tokens and the value of each token.

Governance
The SportsPodium blockchain will be created by the SportsPodium Foundation and development team. Vested tokens underpin the governance structures of the network via voting on worker proposals. The platform will initially be majority governed by the SportsPodium Foundation, team and other large vested token holders, by means of their significant POD vesting percentage. As the network grows and based on the abovementioned divesting schedule, influence will become more distributed and less centralised.

Vesting for platform management fees
Vesting is a time commitment, enabling holders of vested “vPODs” to exercise influence on the SportsPodium platform. Unlike ordinary PODs, vPODs can’t be traded on exchanges or even used on the SportsPodium network. They can, however, be divested to ordinary PODs at any time. This can be done immediately either way, but divesting vPOD’s freeze their voting power for a period of time. The vesting counter starts when PODs are changed into vPODs and is reset back to zero when they are changed back.

Reward Mechanisms
SportsPodium will incentivise users through three main reward mechanisms:
1. Reputation Rewards The blockchain rules utilise a portion of minted tokens to reward users for accurate and diligent data contribution. The rules also reward community members for data curation and verification. Reputation is calculated based on activity diligence, accuracy and performance over time.
2. Promotion Rewards The blockchain rules utilise a portion of minted tokens to reward Ambassadors and their friends. Promotion rewards are based on their associated portion of the networks’ participation-levels, performance and growth.
3. Social Rewards An integrated smart media platform rewards participation and interaction amongst users (for example, by admins, clubs, schools, parents, fans, etc).

This is gonna be a huge project got in on steem presale

I think this one could be huge too, i will watch this closely and surely i will drop some coins on this.

Thanks for a great comment.  We are very excited with the progress and we are getting great feedback from various areas. 
 

The power of crypto and sport combined has excited everyone we have spoken to, both in the crypto AND sports world. The beauty of this project is the ease of getting fiat money inflows into our economy. Any advertiser will need to acquire our coins to access the platform. Of course we will not stop at just hyper targeted advertising, but develop many other revenues. Key to this is that the community must significantly benefit. Drawing top sports stars is also far easier than it seems. And having Olympians working with us make this user adoption strategy very exciting from the start

Please join our Slack group (https://sportspodium-slack.herokuapp.com) we are building a great community.

Hi, I would like to reserve Filipino translation of your promising project thanks

Good afternoon. I don't think your decision about the lack of airdrops or largesse right, but you did.
  Yes the sport is a lot of money and your project will be just there, but what you promise on the website much blurred. Can the little boy first came to the track to use your benefits? No. You originally offer to pay for your service, without asking the boy's parents if they have the money? And the main question-what exactly produced your tokens??

Hardcap is a bit high. But it will be the first project. Potential is hard to predict.

Project for sports, it's something not so washed away. But I understand this project is for sports and not poor people. Tell me about what you say on this forum, if you play your cryptogra?? I'd better be quiet, buy your tokens, and none of them will not tell  ;)

Great to hear. Number of buyers will kick in during next few days from the groups we are working with. Project has been running nicely since the Steemit offer. Time to get the main drive to MVP going now. We are very excited about launching Q1 next year!

Hi @gioangelofelix As soon as we require translation services we will contact you :) 

We have decided on that number based on both a detailed plan, but also to get as many people involved from the start.

As for potential, besides already working with an Olympian that has massive accolades and 13 Gold Medals, we are in contact with large numbers of sports stars from over the world. Key to our success will be driving user numbers. Using our network of Stars in the sports world, we know we can drive massive user adoption. We have already spoken to a number of senior diplomats that we have gotten very excited about the project.

Based on all of these, as well as growth rates of some other projects, we feel 1 million active users end year 1 is very conservative. We can easily reach multiples. Stickiness will be key though, so we are giving each user the ability to create a storybook of their sports live, both to look back on once they are done, and to use NOW to promote themselves if sport is a career the wish to pursue. Remember our target market is the 12-25 year old segment, so fun, social sharing and bragging are all key aspects. What we want is a growing set of data, from competition information, to training, diet etc. Hence the massive interest from sports federations etc.

The progress bar for the SportsPodium presale is steadily gaining some momentum.  Watch this space :)

this is indeed a pretty interesting concept to follow, but maybe I need time to really believe with the promise you give on the web, a little strange, but it needs consideration, hopefully not disappointing in the future, good luck

Thank you for the interest in our project.  Please feel free to ask any questions which might come up.

I know this is not a normal techy crypto project. But we are going to bring the masses. And not only do we know how, but we have people that have done this before. We will be so glad if you join. But if not now .. we know you will join in the future .. either way, we will be glad to have you aboard.

Thanks, waiting for that time. 😊

Two reasons you should buy PODS now at https://sportspodium.io/erc20presale/ (https://sportspodium.io/erc20presale/)

1) you get massive bonus of 100%

2) The 6-12 month value of a POD will start tracking much higher as we sign up users and make media announcements through our network of sports starts.

We will be on exchanges by completion of our ICO, but this token as massive long term value. We did a non blockchain test project with no budget and signed up 7000 members in no time. Through Natalie du Toit we are already working with international sports starts and federations.

We know that there will be a sell off after token sale for those seeking short term multiples. But even with this, through creating demand for PODS from advertisers that will seek to reach our community, we will not only create community revenue, but also demand for PODS as this is what you will need to buy advertising space on SPORTSPODIUM with


The pre sale will secure the project as we have to commit to delivery to make all this happen. This is a snow ball that is going to run very fast and far when momentum picks up.

Creating an amazing system is only one step to a successful solution. Even an amazing business model may not be good enough. You need user adoption.

This is key and if you want to build a social media success. You have to get user uptake, fast and wide! And this is exactly what we will do. We have a vastly experienced technology team, a number of successful entrepreneurneurs and business people to make sure we can build the system and that the business model is completely succesful. In fact we KNOW it will be so succesful that the community and the platform will be self sustaining from year 4 at the very least! But now we must start the fire.

Starting the fire

Our strategy is simple. This is first and foremost a sports community. And there are Icons and stars that our demographic, the 12-25 year old, look up to. Through bringing them on as a network of ambassadors we will be able to reach and rapidly bring young sports people into the platform. These stars typically have millions of social media followers, are in the publick eye through media and speaking opportunities. They have MASSIVE reach. And youngsters would love to associate with them. A Tendulkar or Beckham talking about the platform and why you MUST SIGN UP ... that is the task of our ambassador.

Why would an Ambassador join?

For two reasons. Firstly as sports people they are VERY aware of how loaded the dice are in sport. The challenges and manipulation you face. The corruption, theft and bullying that take place. The little you actually earn from the money you generate, and how layers of administration and sycophants siphon of the money that they make through their dedication and effort. With every top sports person we speak to we get the same response. After years of being forced to keep quiet and comply, they are first careful, then it turns to realization that they can make a difference. Step one, get them to listen has proven easy, and inspiring.

Secondly, they will be rewarded. Besides from the very few, most top sports people surprisingly have very little left after sport and need another career or source of income. SportsPodium will generate and allocate POD's to these ambassadors based on their success of growing their sporting code membership. This will not only be a share of the daily POD creation (what you earn from posting in STEEM) BUT ALSO from the part of the advertising revenue generated on the platform. In fact these ambassadors have massive brand power and networks in the corporate world, and will be able to directly drive advertising revenue.

How are we doing

Brilliantly. Our first ambassador to join was Natalie du Toit, 13 times Olympic swimming champion, Honorary Member of the British Empire, sits on the South African Olympic Committee. And through Natalie and our Sports PR star, Chris (who has represented multiple olympians over the last 20 years) we have had many very positive engagements.

Now all we need is to get the presale going, and do our funding drive to build the minimum viable product over the next few months. IT is happening guys. We are changing the sports world with crypto. But we can NOT Do this alone. We need your help. PLease support our Pre ICO now https://sportspodium.io/erc20presale/ ... you will get 1 POD extra for everyone you buy!

More importantly, please spread the word. Blog about us. Ask people to join our telegram group. YOU must please join too .. the bigger this group the more momentum the movement (and this is a movement that will change the world) has.

This is how all social projects should work.  It is not typical "build it and they will come approach".  This is just brilliant!!!

What is SportsPodium?

SportsPodium is a blockchain-based, incentivised information ledger for sportspeople and sporting communities. Through the SportsPodium platform and network, everyday sportspeople of all ages, across all levels of proficiency, will receive crypto-based rewards for tracking their day-to-day sporting and training activities, submitting this information electronically, and building a digital storyboard of their sporting life.

Sports participants are driven by their competitive nature, both intrinsically and extrinsically. The SportsPodium platform will both enhance and capitalise on this, by adding an additional level of gamification to their experience. In so doing, the platform will also create both a captive advertising audience and a captive, ultra-relevant retail marketplace, while simultaneously adding real benefit to the lives of our users as well as their sporting codes and associations.
All of this, whilst building and adding to the capital value of a truly unique cryptocurrency marketplace. One with a bona fide, legitimate unique selling proposition, built around one of humanity’s most unifying and common social activities – sport. And, in turn, its numerous, associated multi-billion-dollar industries.
This exponentially increasing, captured, engaged, rewarded audience (and subsequent marketplace) will expand our share of the sought-after “Attention Economy” while – more importantly – enabling data capturing of extremely granular, highly specific information, for hyper-targeted advertisements to these individuals and the people and organisations in their sporting ecosystems, both social and institutional.

To kick start initial user adoption, SportsPodium will build a network of celebrity Ambassadors across several sporting disciplines, as well as an associated spider web of their Friends (associated influencers) in each region. This network of recognized, household names, across various sporting codes, along with continued marketing, promotion and community interaction, will ensure large-scale user adoption of the platform.
Through the elegant convergence of cryptocurrency technology, social interaction UI/UX, and mass, real-world human activity, SportsPodium will revolutionize all three to their benefit, while creating massive revenue in the process.

The SportsPodium target-user audience includes everyday sportspeople of all ages – from the purely recreational amateur, through to the top-flight pro. The goal is to ultimately ensure that every household with sports participants earns and spends some of our tokens (known as “PODs”) thereby enabling a widespread and diverse POD economy tapping into significant portions of the  Global Sports Industry.

In addition to signing up the users, we developed a talent identification solution, which were used to select two rugby teams of 22 players each to tour internationally solely by using our software.   The selections were made based on actual player performance during a rugby tournament.  The amazing thing - All the coaches agreed with the system selection.
