Why I'll be buying some POD's (sportspodium) during the Steemit only pre-sale

This project is a long time in the making.

Sportspodium is not just an idea that someone dreamed up, as an excuse for an ICO, since they are all the rage right now.

It was a successful localized implementation waiting for the right blockchain driven incentive mechanism to launch it onto the global stage and mass adoption.

The platform has the potential to change the sporting industry as we know it...

• Talent identification can now extend its reaches to wherever their is internet.
• Dedicated rising sports stars will be able to get themselves noticed and drafted, no mater where they reside, train and play.
• Emerging sports individuals will be able to be rewarded for their diligence with cryptographic tokens (POD's).
• Sports retailers will have a digital platform to provide sports players the world over with gear.
• Gear paid for with rewards earned while training and participating in sports events.
• There is no need to borrow dad's credit card, simply use the POD's earned through diligent effort and training.
• Coaches, clubs, teams and leagues now have appropriate cryptographic incentives.
• Sports ambassadors and other sports development initiative are also appropriately incentivized.
• Sponsors can measure and reach their intended target market in ways never before envisaged.

This is a truly ground breaking platform that will enable a whole new kind of sporting ecosystem.

One where diligence, hard work and training are appropriately recognized, quantified through a robust reputation system and rewarded.

This is not just an ecosystem where blockchain rewards are freely dished out.

It has a real functional cryptographic token economy, not solely reliant on speculators, but with real world capital inflow and outflows.

Steem demonstrates to the world how value can be created with blockchain smart contracts and "subjective proof of work".

Sports performance is far less subjective and far more quantifiable.

Sportspodium will be the means of recording and tracking sports performance in the youngest of players and highlighting their talents and rewarding quantified improvements.

Real value in a multi billion dollar industry is being quantified, recorded and monetized on every level of the sporting industry beginning at the grassroots.

Sports the world over is going to be impacted by the blockchain revolution... and it starts with Sportspodium
