A sports consultancy agency is a great place for talented athletes to forge their career.

Through networking, coaching, and getting access to plenty of opportunities, skilled sports talent can begin to make the most of their athletic ability.

When it comes to young talent, being part of a sports consultancy and casting team also has many benefits.

This is a great place for skills to be honed and talent to be nurtured, and here at Sport & Motion, we love nothing more than seeing some of our younger talents grow and make the most of their potential.

In this guide, we want to let you know how being part of a team like this can help youth sports talent, so let’s take a look.

Becoming a Young Sports Talent

Sports talent can be built at any age.

Whether you’re 50 or 15 (all under 16s must have written permission from a legal guardian to join our database), it’s never too late to get your head down and learn your craft.

Becoming a young sports talent requires determination and a real passion for your chosen sport.

This is a great time to learn not just what goes into becoming highly skilled, but also the mental aspect of a career in this industry.

If you are a young sports talent, then spend some time really working out what you want to do and how you want to get there.

If you would love to star on the stage and screen, then maybe Sport & Motion is the place for you.

Identifying Youth Sports Talent

Scouts are always on the lookout for the next big thing in sports.

Whether it is for professional teams, or to join a sports casting agency, looking for youth sports talent contains many different aspects.

Knowing what to look for is what makes consultants stand out, as they can quickly assess not just the physical attributes of a player, but also the mental side of things.

To make it in this industry, as we’ve mentioned, can be tough, and therefore it takes someone who is ready for the challenge to really forge ahead in their career.

Our consultants will use data and coach recommendations, as well as spend a while observing the talent. We look at social media platforms, stills, performances, and more to evaluate and pinpoint who has got what it takes to really make a name for themselves.

How Youth Sports Talent can Benefit from a Casting & Consultant Agency

Access to Professional Coaching

A sports consultant will provide great access to coaches and training that will help to further any athlete’s career.

If you’re a youth sports talent whose skills need a bit of finetuning, there will be experienced coaches who can ensure you do everything you can to reach your true potential.

This is more than just learning the sport, and may also contain training in discipline, teamwork, and resilience. These lessons can be just as important as time spent on the field and can really set an athlete up for a future in this sport.

Opportunity Exposure

One thing a sports casting agency specialises in is finding great roles for sports talent to fulfill.

They have the ability to open up many doors through their connections that may not have been achievable beforehand.

Whether it is tournaments and showcases with a live audience, or social media content and advertisements, if the role is just right for you, then a sports consultant can get your name in front of the director.

This is a great way to help kickstart your portfolio as well as build up your experience and knowledge of the industry.

Confidence Building

For many young sports stars, it can be tough to have the confidence to get in front of a camera or step onto a stage.

This can lead to stepping away from opportunities, but with a sports casting agency helping you, your confidence and resilience will grow, and you will soon be relishing these opportunities when they come around.

Through getting recognition for your work, being validated in your decisions, and gaining support from your fellow athletes and consultants, you won’t just grow as a sporting talent, but also as a person.

There may be challenges and setbacks along the way, but with the help of the people around you these will be overcome and in the long run, will only make you stronger and more resilient.

Balancing Education

For young athletes who are exceptional at a certain sport, education may sometimes fall by the wayside.

With a sports consultant though, this won’t be forgotten.

Many agencies will have a deep understanding of the importance of education and will work closely with athletes, their families, and educational institutions to ensure you are a well-rounded individual.

This is a vital part of building your character and cannot be understated.

It can feel tricky to balance both your sporting aspirations and your education, but your chosen consultant will be able to provide guidance on just that topic.

Growing a Love for Sport

Finally, the last thing a sports consultant would want you to do is fall out of love with sports.

While it can be a strange transition when your hobby becomes a business, this is made easier by having a sports casting agency looking over you.

They will ensure you are in an environment where you always feel encouraged and motivated to keep pushing forward and never grow tired of what you do.

The best sports talent showcase their love for their chosen sport throughout their work, and by helping your love for yours develop, we believe you will continue to become even better at what you do.

How to Use Sports Stars for Your Marketing Campaign

For many years, sports stars have been used in sports productions to help market new products.

From Usain Bolt advertising lightning-fast internet speeds, to Thierry Henry adding a bit of ‘va va voom’ to a car advert, these global figures make great additions to any advertising campaign.

Sports stars and influencers bring many things to an advert, including big followings and inspirational stories.

But how can you utilize them in your next production?

Well, here at Sport & Motion, we’ve worked with global stars from Anthony Joshua to Marcus Rashford to create some great marketing videos, and here’s a guide on how you can do the same.

Let’s take a look.

Anthony Joshua

The Power of Sports Influencers on Marketing

Sports influencers are the perfect figures to use to market any brand, and there are many reasons why.

Whether you are a sports brand, or any other type of business, having a recognisable sports star featuring in your story is a big help in attracting a wide audience base and catching a viewer’s attention.

And they aren’t the only benefits:

  • Targeted Audience – If you are selling something related to cricket, for example, there is a high chance the people interested in the product will also be interested in the stars of the sport. If you can feature these in your marketing, you are appealing directly to the audience you are hoping to target which is just what you want.
  • Credibility – Something that helps to sell a product is endorsements from experts in the field. This means if you can get a professional cyclist to advertise a new helmet and say it works really well, many people will trust what is being said much more than if it was just an ordinary member of the public.
  • An Emotional Connection – Sport is a highly emotional thing. Nike has a great advertisement that takes you straight to Tiger Woods going through many steps of his career, before winning his 15th major. Marketing like this can help to bring the exhilaration felt watching these events unfold back and create a real buzz around an advert.
  • Wide Reach – Sports stars have a huge global reach that encompasses much more than many brands. For famous figures in the world of basketball, football, and more, their fans and followers are in the millions. This means that if they feature in an advertisement, you already have a massive audience who will be interested which can really help in growing the reach of your company and product.
  • Better Engagement – The idea of marketing is to get people engaged. This can be tricky when you only have a twenty or thirty second timeslot. Using sports stars is a great way to immediately catch people’s attention and get them commenting, sharing, and liking the content, which is a great way to let it grow organically.

These are just a few ways sports influencers can boost your marketing, and if you’re now thinking of using one in your next campaign, here are eight ways you can do it.

8 Ways to Incorporate Sports Stars into Your Sports Production

Tell Their Story

If you can get a viewer engrossed in a story, then this is great for marketing. Not only will they feel the emotion throughout, but they will also remember the campaign and want to know more.

Stories are great ways of showing how a sports star has overcome adversity, achieved their goals, and forged their successful career.

If you can align this with your brand, you’re sure to capture many people’s attention.

We shot this advert with Son Heung-Min (and a sports body double) which showed a little bit of his transition to European football, and how through his skills he has shone to overcome any negativity and become a global star.

Showcase Their Skills

What many people want to see from sports influencers (check out our blog on the rise of sports influencers for extra reading) is some exceptional skills.

Many influencers may not be known on a global scale but will be well followed in their own field.

Take this advertisement we helped shoot for Toyota, in which a BMX freestyler captures the viewer straight away with some stunning skills.

In this case, the fluid motion of the bike is replicated in the car, which is what was used to really sell the product.

If you can show exceptional talent and use this to incorporate your brand into a powerful marketing message, then you’re sure to make a stunning video.

Even better if you can show them performing the skills using your product to help them.

Have Them Interact with the Public

Not all marketing campaigns have to tell a story.

Some can simply be a sports influencers getting out in the public and setting challenges.

They can compare their skills to the people they meet and allow the chosen few to be star features in the film as well.

This is a great way of making your brand feel fun, and creating something that feels really organic and natural.

We recently shot this video during the Leeds United vs Liverpool Premier League match, using a female freestyle football influencer to wander through the match-going fans setting challenges whilst incorporating the product, which makes for a really compelling watch.

This kind of approach works really well when it comes to putting videos out on Social Media channels such as Instagram and Tik Tok.

Place Them in the Heart of the Action

Not all action has to appear on the pitch.

You can also incorporate different stories that really get the heartrate rising, such as we did in this advertisement for the Barclay’s Women’s Super League.

We set the scene with a traditional photo shoot before everything burst into action with a frenzy of activity.

This was an exciting advert that not only had plenty of thrills, but also gave the sports stars a way to showcase their skill in a different way than expected.

If you want to really grab the attention of the viewer at home, then putting your stars in situations such as this which are outlandish and explosive is always a great way to do so.

Show a Different Side to Them

Many sports influencers are only ever seen in their kit taking part in sporting events.

This isn’t their whole life though, and if you can show a different side to them, such as we did in this advertisement for Nivea starring Ben Youngs, it creates a heartfelt and warming production.

By seamlessly skipping between him starring in an England rugby union shit, and also him at home playing with his children, we showed many different aspects to not just the sports star, but also the man.

This is a great way to get people to relate to your chosen influencer and be able to really see what they are like outside of the sport and what is important to them, which can be really appealing to a watching audience.

Set Them a Challenge

We’ve mentioned earlier about how a great video is made by an influencer setting the public a challenge, but what about doing it the other way around?

Sports influencers have mostly gotten to where they are through exceptional skill, so why not put this to the test.

Have a heavyweight boxer on a punching machine, or a long-distance runner trying to break records and showcase the action in your advertisement.

Alternatively, why not take them right out of their comfort zone and challenge them to something they don’t excel in.

This is a great way of creating something a little bit different and adding a touch of humour to your production, such as what we did with Jamie Redknapp when we advertised Rana.

Place the Viewer in Their Shoes

Some sports productions can feel like a really immersive experience.

If a video can pick you up from your couch and place you right in the middle of a sports scene, then this is sure to captivate you from the get-go.

We used stars from Manchester United to shoot this video for Adidas, which takes you straight into the heart of the dressing room before taking you out on the training pitch and showing you some action.

This is a great way of putting the viewer into the sports star’s shoes, and showing the exciting and sometimes brutal nature of the sports they excel in.

By doing this, your viewer can really appreciate the skills of the athlete and for a short while feel like they are the one stepping onto the hallowed turf.

Add Some Humour

Everyone likes to have a laugh, so why not use your sports star to add some humour to your advertisement?

There are many ways that you can do this, including really taking them out of their comfort zone, or getting them to overexaggerate the character traits they are well known for.

This is what we did with David Ginola, who is known for his good looks and footballing talent, and through him (plus our very own Colin Nell showcasing his football skills) we used his personality to really sell the brand and in this case the competition.

This is a great way of creating something memorable that may stand out among the other, more traditional sports productions.

Ever wondered how the sports talent you see on the screen finds their way into the productions they are starring in?

Well, it is often down to a sports casting agency.

This is a team that spots talented individuals and finds the perfect role for them in upcoming sports films and advertisements.

But what makes a good sports casting agency?

Well, we’ve created this guide to let you know just that.

But first, let’s start at the beginning.

What Does a Sports Casting Agency Do?

Sports talent casting is much more than just seeing an individual who possesses good skills and placing them in front of a camera.

There are many varied roles that an agency will undertake, including:

  • Talent Identification – An agent should have a keen eye for spotting potential sports talent. This doesn’t just mean established professionals, but also up-and-coming athletes who can really add something to a production.
  • Career Guidance – It can be hard for athletes to know the best steps to forge a career in this industry. A sports talent casting agent will have plenty of experience in this field and will provide advice and guidance throughout a sports talent’s career to ensure they’re always on the right track.
  • Finding the Perfect Role – When a role does come up, a casting agency won’t just put anyone forward for it. They will scan their database to find the perfect match not just for the production, but also for the athlete themselves.
  • Negotiations – There is always the business element of this industry to consider, and a good casting agency will always be by your side as you discuss contracts for roles you are working on, to make sure you always get the best deal.
  • Get to Know the Industry – A sports casting agent who has been working in this field for a long time will have many contacts that can help their clients fulfill their career goals. From marketers to coaches, having these opportunities to network is always valuable.

There are many other aspects to this role as well, and if you want to know more, why not check out our ‘what is a sports casting agency’ blog.

Now let’s take a look at what makes the ideal sports casting agency, and what five skills are crucial to being successful.

5 Key Skills of a Good Sports Talent Casting Agent

An Observative Eye

The first step to building a strong database of clients is knowing how to spot talent.

While some individuals may possess a strong skillset, there are other factors to consider here, such as the ability to perform in front of a camera or crowd, and the attitude and personality of the sports talent in question.

Through watching many different athletes, a sports talent casting agent will be able to notice subtle nuances in performance that may go unnoticed by an untrained eye.

They will also be able to really assess and evaluate an athlete, taking into account all of the physical and mental attributes that will allow the agent to always pick the perfect opportunity for them.

A Strong Knowledge of Sports

Another vital skill a sports casting agent should possess is to have an extensive knowledge of various sports.

This is imperative for helping to spot talented individuals as well as getting an understanding of the productions that you are working on.

When it comes to viewing talent and helping to create great sports productions, knowing the rules and key components of all sports is vital.

You may have tennis stars mixing with long-distance runners in your database, and being able to spot what makes them so skilled and how they can showcase their talent in the right way is benefitted by knowing the sports that specialise in.

A Personable Approach

We’ve mentioned networking already in the blog, and it is important that a casting agent is effective in communicating with directors, clients, and beyond.

Growing your network is vital in spreading your knowledge base and also helps to get notified of great new opportunities that you may not have been made aware of before.

Having great networking skills will mean that you are always updated on upcoming events, industry trends, and new talent.

It is also vital you can effectively get your points across to your clients and directors. This will help as you guide your clients throughout their careers and ensure that you can build a relationship that is based on trust, constructive feedback, and a friendly rapport.

Good Business Skills

You mustn’t forget that this is a business, and a competitive one at that.

While getting your sports talent in front of directors and getting them recognised is a huge part of the role of a casting agent, it is also important that you have the business acumen to make sure you can close deals and always keep both parties happy.

Managing the landscape of athlete sponsorships and branding can be tricky, and that’s why an agent has to always have a keen understanding of the sports market and how the business works.

Knowing this inside out will ensure your clients always get the best deals around and that they’re always in safe hands when it comes to the business aspect of the role.

A Flexible and Adaptable Approach

Like many industries, the world of sports is always adapting and changing.

New trends emerge and new ways of working mean a flexible and adaptable approach is always needed to ensure you’re always current and providing your clients with the best opportunities for their careers in this exact moment.

This is vital if you are looking for long-term success in this industry.

This also means being flexible to what makes a client great, and having an open mind when it comes to all different sports and all different approaches to that sport.

Having an open mind will allow you to always see the best in the sports talent in front of you and always have your finger on the pulse when it comes to the latest trends.

If you are a sports talent, and you’re looking to begin your career in your chosen field, then it’s always a great choice to work with a sports talent agency.

This is a team of sports consultants who can help represent an athlete and manage your career.

Sports consultants can help with many aspects of a sports talent’s career, including finding great opportunities and advising on the best ways to promote yourself.

If you are a sports talent, and you’re looking to work with an agency, then here are five tips on how to get spotted.

Let’s take a look.

Build Your Profile

The first thing that you need is a comprehensive profile that shows exactly what you’re about.

This will come in handy when pitching yourself to a sports talent agency, and also when sending your information out for casting when it comes to roles in sports productions and events.

So, what should your profile contain?

Well, a good place to start is by including your basic information and a quick biography detailing what makes you stand out amongst your competitors.

Next, add a highlight reel and really showcase what you can do and make yourself stand out to the casting teams that may come looking.

If you can work across several social media platforms and build a following on each, then you’re off to a great start and will already have plenty of fans and experience of putting on a show.

Attend Sports Events

A great way to network with fellow sports talent and place yourself under the watchful eye of many consultants, is by attending events.

Some of these may be competitions, such as freestyle contests, where you may get a chance to stand in front of an audience and show them what you’ve got.

Alternatively, you may be able to speak with event organisers to becoming a key attraction for the event and get your own timeslot to really put on a show.

All of this is great experience and when the work is done, you’re sure to have got plenty of people interested in you, your skills, and your story.

It also looks great on your profile if you can show lots of previous work in different scenarios.

Networking

Networking is key to building relationships that may well become fruitful in the future.

If you can get in contact with coaches, athletes, consultants, and anyone else working in your industry, you are opening yourself up to many chances for great roles and exposure.

By building your connections in the industry, you are increasing the likelihood of someone recommending you for a role that you’re perfect for.

A lot of the coaches and consultants you’re speaking to will know each other, so by acting professionally and friendly when you meet them, you are increasing your chances of getting picked up by an agency greatly.

And that’s not the only benefit of networking.

By speaking with professionals who have worked in this industry for many years, you are sure to pick up some invaluable advice that will only help to grow you as an athlete and enhance your career.

Reach Out to Sports Talent Agencies

A great way to find your place in a sports talent agency is to simply go directly to them.

Many sports talent agencies, such as Sport & Motion, allow athletes to get in touch and showcase their skills, which can be a great way to get your foot in the door.

It’s always a good idea to take a look into the different agencies you are thinking of applying to and make sure you pick one that matches your ethos, and you think will work best for you.

When ready, prepare your profile.

Provide all of the information requested accurately, as this is what the consultants will use to pick out the perfect jobs for you, and when it comes to showcasing your skills, make sure you are using videos and images that really show what you have got in your locker.

Going direct to the agency allows you to be in control and to choose yourself how you come across to the consultant, so this is a great way of getting noticed.

By always looking to grow your skillset and learn new skills in your chosen sport, you will soon find that you achieve new milestones in your career, which will in turn make you much more attractive to sports talent agencies.

What Makes Great Sports Talent?

Sports talent comes in many shapes and sizes.

Here at Sport & Motion, we use our database of talented sports individuals to fill many roles in sports productions and events.

We are always on the lookout for great sports talent to further bolster our growing database.

But just what makes someone a great sports talent?

Let’s take a look.

What is Sports Talent?

Sports talent can mean a lot of things, but in a nutshell it is an individual who possesses a set of skills in a certain sport.

This may be football, athletics, golf, and more.

This individual is more than just someone who is a talented athlete though, they are someone who has a great personality and who can fulfil a role in a sporting production like a professional.

Sports talent often has many other skills, such as freestyling or acting skills, and must be able to leave a lasting impression on their audience.

Our sports talent are all exceptional individuals, and when assessing new applications, here are five key attributes that we look for.

basketball sports talent

5 Key Attributes of Good Sports Talent

There are many different things that can make a certain individual a great sports talent, but here are five common areas of excellence that we see in our database.

Sporting Ability

This one is going first because it is an essential part of becoming a sports talent.

No matter which sport you participate in, you will need to have plenty of skill in it.

When choosing sports talent to fulfil a role in a production, you will be required to either showcase your skill, or look like a skilled athlete in the sport in question.

This means you will need to have the right build for the role, and be able to look like you are professional in the sport.

Sporting ability can also mean that you are able to really put on a show. For example, if you are a football performer, you may be able to showcase some freestyling to really wow an audience and make an advertisement or sports film special.

At a sports event, if you can get the audience involved, either by putting on an interactive show or creating a match scenario, you are sure to leave a great impression on the public and really help to promote your brand.

On Camera Skills

There are many people who are very skilled at a certain sport but that may struggle when in front of a camera.

The same applies for sports talent performing at an event.

To be a successful sports talent, you must be comfortable in front of a camera. It helps if you know how a day of filming works, and if you know the terminology and methods that will be put into practise.

At events, you must be confident in front of an audience and be able to showcase your skills freely and really engage with the crowd.

Being in front of a camera isn’t easy, especially when trying to perform and showcase your sporting ability, so it’s always good to get lots of work under your belt, which brings me onto my next point.

Experience in Sports productions

Some people are natural sports talents brimming with confidence and packed with some amazing sporting skills.

For others though, it takes work, and having experience in working in sports productions and events can make a huge difference when it comes to creating the perfect sports film or really putting on a show.

Experience means you will be comfortable in front of a camera, and that you will have an idea of what is to be expected of you and be well prepared.

If you’re lacking experience, then try and find some smaller scale jobs to begin with which can provide a real insight into what goes into a sports talent.

Whether these are paid roles or not, building up a portfolio and growing your skillset is always a good thing.

An Engaging Personality

If you are a sports talent being used in productions, you are probably going to be representing a brand and trying to communicate and engage with their target audience.

This is where having an engaging personality is vital.

While having a great skillset in your chosen sport is important, you need to be able to showcase this and make what you’re doing stand out.

This can be from the way you perform, or the way you interact with the camera or your audience.

Being a sports talent is much more than just being a good sportsperson, it is being able to wow an audience and grab their attention.

If you are starring in an advertisement for example, you may only have 30 seconds to leave a lasting impression, so while your skills will help, your personality must shine through and speak to the public that are watching.

Good at Following Advice

The final step is to be a good listener and open to taking advice and instruction.

Being on a film set, or backstage at an event, can be tricky.

With multiple individuals who may be starring in the production trying to take instruction, and things like sports choreography to handle, you must be good at remembering your role and be able to execute it when the time comes.

Whether you’re a beginner on your first job, or someone packed with experience, being able to follow instructions from choreographers, consultants, and directors is vital in helping you become a key part of the production or event team.

There are many ways in which sports talent can be used.

Sports productions are a common method, and this means in films, advertisements, and social media campaigns used to help grow a brand.

The sports talent may be performing as part of the production, or they may be acting, or even performing as a sports body double, but their skillset and athleticism will stand out and are sure to catch the eye of the audience.
