What to do with the draft
The output above is a starting paragraph, not a finished pitch. A pitch that gets replies does one thing the draft can't do for you: it makes the exchange obvious. A brand isn't donating. They're buying attention, credibility, content, or access, and they need to justify the spend to someone internally.
The eight sections a real pitch needs
- One-line positioning — who the player is and who they reach, in a sentence.
- The audience — real numbers, real geography, real demographics. Small and specific beats vague and inflated.
- The story — one paragraph. Brands buy narrative, but not three pages of it.
- Season plan — where the player will be, how often, in front of whom.
- Deliverables by tier — specific, conservative, countable.
- The ask — an actual number, or a product list. "Any support appreciated" gets filed and forgotten.
- Reporting commitment — what you'll send back and when. This is the most persuasive section for an unknown player.
- Contact and next step — one clear action.
Six to eight slides, or a one-page email with a PDF attached. Longer is not better.
Deliverables that are actually deliverable
Promising twelve pieces of content a month during a competitive season is a promise you'll break by week three. Promise less and over-deliver:
- Two posts and four stories a month
- Logo on shirt sleeve and bag, with photo documentation each tournament
- One appearance at a brand event or junior clinic per season
- A quarterly written update with photos the brand can reuse
Who to send it to, and when
Find the marketing, partnerships, or community manager by name — a general enquiries inbox is where pitches go to die. Send two to four months before the brand's fiscal year starts, when next year's budgets are being set. Follow up twice, politely, a fortnight apart. Most deals happen on the second or third contact.

Check eligibility first
Accepting money or product can affect amateur status and NCAA eligibility depending on the player's age, the structure of the deal, and the governing body. The rules change and differ by country. Verify with the relevant association, and have an attorney review any contract, before signing.
