Sponsor Daniel Bentley Bentley

Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 I am a badminton player from the UK with a massive drive to compete at a high level and therefore am looking for a potential sponsor to help me achieve my aspirations. I currently play 4 nights a week and try to balance it with work. To give you an idea of how I structure my week I play Monday-Thursday nights and Sunday mornings. Most of my work takes place on Friday and Saturday I work 9:00am-2am managing 2 jobs one of which being at a Garden centre and the other job working at a local pub both of which have no relevance to the sport I love. Working only 2 day means I have a very free week however I try to fill it with as much training as I can financially support. I have a jam packed weekend meaning on Friday and Saturday I am working long shifts some of them resulting in a total of 15-17 hours. I have been playing for about 5 years however I have only recently fallen back in love with the sport , after I took a short break for my GCSE's. Since the badminton funding has been cut by UK sport there is very little money left in the sport meaning a lot of athletes can not reach their max potential due to no financial support. Below is a link to an article written by a professional badminton player discussing the impact of UK sport funding cuts. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/badminton/2017/02/05/badminton-will-return-hobby-sport-catastrophic-funding-cuts/ Whilst having an athlete sponsorship wouldn't jut hand me money for free It would provide a great benefit in supporting me towards my success.
