The Dream

Sports are one of the biggest revenue generating industries in the world. Individual athletes, amateur teams & leagues, semi-pro teams & leagues and professional sports outside of the U.S., are left out of the billion dollar business plan and are missing huge amounts of opportunity.  Currently, most athletes, teams and leagues don't have a centralized network and effective, interactive approach to reaching their community.   Individual athletes, amateur and semi-pro teams & leagues, and professional sports outside the U.S. are largely left out of the billion-dollar industry and are missing out on huge opportunities. Currently athletes, teams, and leagues lack a centralized network to reach their communities. They don't have one place to reach their fans, monetize their media, and raise funds. Amateur sports needs a better way to sustain itself.

The NCAA, MLB, NFL, NASCAR, NBA, and other televised sports leagues have been able to aggregate their markets. If individuals, teams, and leagues around the world could easily share their sports moments with their fans, family, and friends, then their value and money-making potential would expand exponentially. Millions of dollars are generated on YouTube using amateur and professional-athlete footage, but the athletes and amateur teams receive none of it. The NCAA, publications, professional leagues, and websites are generating billions off of these "small-time" athletes and local teams. It's time that this silent majority had the right tools to harness the revenue they generate.

This is the perfect tool to record your sports life as it happens and possibly get yourself recruited. You can keep a free page that isn't public, branded, or revenue generating, but which can be seen by anyone in our network as well as our affiliates. You can also buy a branded page that is public, includes revenue shares, receives donations, and can easily be shared with coaches or scouts without them having to log in to the website.

 

Not generating any money from your current website?  Do you have a fan base that is more interactive and larger than your sponsors think?

Do you harness the money making power of your league on the internet the way the pros do? Does your league have one place to keep everyone up to date easily?

From The Founder

Sports are central to building relationships in your community, learning life lessons, and creating good exercise and health habits.  They also make lasting memories, not only for the athletes but for those watching them as well. 

Born overseas to a military family, I've lived in Spain, Alaska, North Carolina, and now New York. Sports were always the way that I made friends, identified myself, identified with others, and hoped to create a career. I went to UNC-Chapel Hill and majored in Exercise and Sports Science, and afterward set out to become an entrepreneur.  

My friends, family, and community were my biggest supporters growing up, but being in a military family that moved so frequently, it was nearly impossible for any of them to keep up with me. It was the part of my youth that I most remember, but also the part that I most wish could have been better documented. I had aspirations of getting recruited and playing pro, but being on military bases or in small towns my whole life limited my ability to get necessary exposure. I was not recruited heavily and no one helped me get recruited, and like most athletes I left college with tremendous debt. I moved to New York in 2006 to help my friend start a business. The business was extremely successful, and we sold our assets in 2012.  

MySportsShare is a passion project, backed by my closest friends and the money I made from selling my previous business. The idea started as a way to make sure that anyone who plays sports can share each moment with their family and friends, anywhere and anytime. We've also added it to our mission to make sure they can raise the funds that are so desperately needed to play sports. We've gotten this far, and now we need your help. That's why we're here.
