ASSIST Creative resources Ltd, the UK's leading distributor of specialist sports fitness and performance brands, is launching a campaign to find the sporting talent of tomorrow.
The aim of the campaign is to identify promising individuals in a number of endurance and specialist sports - and bring them together under the banner of teamASSIST.
Each individual will be granted access to sportASSIST's comprehensive portfolio of performance brands which includes Timex Ironman, Shotz Sports Nutrition, Powerlung and Oregon scientific, as well as access to some of the most advanced performance monitoring and fitness measurement equipment available in the UK in the sportASSIST Performance Labs.
The lucky individuals will also get access to products not yet available on the market as part of the New Product Test Team. The package will also include contribution and support in other areas which will all help to benefit any athlete who wishes to take their chosen sport further.
sportASSIST is looking to recruit a number of talented individuals aged between 16-26 in sports such as running, cycling, triathlon, swimming, rugby and adventure or ultra racing. And, while sporting potential will be the key factor, sportASSIST is also looking for individuals to demonstrate their commitment to developing their talent - and become the winners of tomorrow.
"We will be looking for some special individuals who not only possess the talent to become the winner's of tomorrow, but who will also be able to communicate about their sport, their training and their commitment via a range of modern media, such as YouTube, blogs and press events," said Simon Bradeley, general manager of ASSIST.
The initiative will also dovetail with sportASSIST's newly-founded charitable organisation, Street Talent, which aims to fund talented, upcoming athletes with the new technologies that will help them achieve their full athletic potential.
"The development of a support system for young athletes from any sport to help them realise their potential is immensely close to my heart," said Steve Raven, CEO of ASSIST. "I would like to see our search for these talented athletes develop into an active charity such as StreetTalent, which I think explains in two simple words what we are trying to achieve."
sportASSIST will be looking to have the team in place for September 1st and will be liaising with sports governing bodies, agents and selected individuals to identify contenders for positions on the team. Each candidate will be asked to submit a sporting CV via email to the marketing manager (peter.burlingham@assist.co.uk) or upload a video of themselves to a video-sharing service such as YouTube and email the link to the above address.
