Empowering Athlete Careers: The Launch of Athlete Career Navi
Media Incubate, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo and led by President Masaki Hamasaki, is thrilled to announce the launch of its new platform, 'Athlete Career Navi.' This initiative is aimed at supporting student athletes and sports professionals by harnessing the media expertise accumulated over the years. The goal is to elevate the hidden value of athletes and their stories to enhance their career opportunities in society.
Background: Unveiling the Hidden Worth of Athletes
Athletes, particularly those from sports clubs and competitive backgrounds, gain vital skills through their rigorous training and competition experiences. These include goal-setting, leadership, and resilience, all of which are highly appreciated in the workforce. Despite these valuable attributes, many athletes struggle to communicate their true potential and narratives, resulting in missed career opportunities.
Through the 'Future of Sports' project, Media Incubate has previously supported numerous athletes, from professional tennis players to Olympic competitors and martial artists. By leveraging its extensive network of over 60 media outlets and distributing more than 300 press releases annually, the company aims to bridge this gap and empower athletes through the new platform.
Key Pillars of 'Athlete Career Navi'
'Athlete Career Navi' focuses on three main areas to maximize athletes' value:
1.
Storytelling Support: Helping athletes craft compelling narratives from their personal experiences and challenges. These stories will resonate with the public and connect on an emotional level. Utilizing our media network, we will disseminate these narratives broadly through interviews and reports that highlight crucial moments, leadership experiences, and stories of overcoming adversity.
-
Examples of Story Content: The journey of overcoming challenges in sports, leadership roles taken in teams, and personal growth narratives.
2.
Career Education Content: Tailored educational resources specifically designed for career development in athletes, supervised by former national team representatives. This educational material illustrates how competitive experiences can be translated into career pathways.
-
Examples of Program Offerings: Success case studies of second careers, communication strategies for sporting experiences, and the operation of an online 'Career Study Room' available for a monthly fee.
3.
Video Content Production: Creating emotional documentary-style videos that capture the journey of athletes, showcasing their challenges and personalities. By sharing these videos on social media and owned media channels, we aim to boost athletes' visibility and attract new supporters.
-
Examples of Video Content: Documentaries about athletes, balancing sports and professional life stories, and highlights of alumni achievements.
