POWWOW SPORTS

We're more than just a sports platform - we give athletes a voice to transform the world of sports. Together we don't just talk about what happens on the pitch - the victories and defeats - but also about what it means to be an athlete off it. How do you balance a professional career and family life, while preparing for the time after? What social responsibilities do you have as an athlete and how do you handle the pressure that comes with it? How do you keep up with the latest trends and innovations as the sport you love is changing around you? And what does it take to create a fair environment for everyone?


OUR INITIATORS

Our initiators are united by a passion for sport, a love for entrepreneurship and the firm belief that sport should be rethought in a new, digital and, above all, community- and content-oriented way.
