Persistence pays off! If you really want something you have to put the extra effort into showing a company you are their man or woman.. They have to see the value of you helping their brands flourish. A lot of companies are looking for people to represent them over Social Media now so with that being said you do NOT have to enter tournaments you just have to represent them well in other areas Such as Getting them into stores or just getting people interested in their products. Sponsorship's are not easy to come by, there are so many people begging for them nowadays you have to stand out and really show interest in the companies you want to do work with. Do NOT go asking for free gear. If they want to give you care packages they will, you have to earn everything, Nothing comes free!
