The landscape for professional athletes continually changes over the years. Sponsorships, sport broadcasts, social media, and now a global pandemic have shifted the perceptions of value and added or subtracted required skillsets.

We speak with Tyrone Rawlins, a professional Kite Boarder turned athlete manager (with a few other stops along the way), about how the covid pandemic has changed the game for professional and aspiring athletes.

The behind the scenes world of being a professional athlete is not often understood clearly from those outside of it. How do you make the "dream" become a reality? What are the common mistakes that athletes are making? How do I understand my value to a brand and make sure I'm not over or underselling myself? These are some of the few questions we try and get to the bottom of in our conversation with Tyrone.
