In 2024 it's easier than ever to share your story if you're an aspiring athlete and build a brand thanks to social media and the internet. However in some ways it's more difficult to stand out from the crowd and build a successful career in professional sports. With national governing bodies ever increasingly focussing on smaller groups of athletes, funding and elite sportsman or sportswoman's lifestyle is a massive financial challenge. Throughout my gymnastics journey I was supported by Red Bull, Sky Sports, My Protein, Super Dry, TURN Gymnastics, local businesses and local sports grants all of which helped support my career. In this episode I break down what I would do If I was to build a professional sports career in 2024. And this is my story.
