Accordingly, this study gives voice to such athletes by exploring their perspectives with regard to the demands, opportunities, and tensions arising from a new sport product innovation that has significantly impacted their profession. Research Methods Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 25 professional male cricketers competing in two of the world’s most prominent professional T20 cricket leagues. Interviews were thematically coded to reveal central athlete perspectives, and representative quotes were used to support the analysis. Results and Findings Two central insights emerged. First, professional athletes internalised a consumer demand for entertainment arising from the advent of T20 cricket, resulting in modifications to their individual frontstage self-presentation. Whilst not a conscious branding exercise, these modifications demonstrated a tension between pursuing athletic performance on the one hand and entertainment on the other. Second, despite the significant financial opportunities that T20 cricket affords, athletes emphasised the intrinsic interpersonal benefits of the product innovation. This included experiential elements around cultural immersion and personal development as well as newfound opportunities to form relationships within an otherwise fiercely competitive work setting. Implications This study contributes to a small body of work exploring professional athlete perspectives, revealing candid backstage insights surrounding lived experiences within the profession. The findings are particularly significant to athlete branding work in that they illustrate how professional athlete self-presentation can be influenced by performative pressures emerging from consumer-driven product innovation.","PeriodicalId":47777,"journal":{"name":"European Sport Management Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44965114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research methods Utilising a phenomenological qualitative approach and guided by the Model of Athlete Brand Image (MABI), six semi-structured interviews were conducted with agents of elite disability sport athletes from the United States, Canada, and Ireland. Data analysis was through both deductive and inductive coding allowing themes to emerge from the data as well as through the initial codes identified from the framework. Results and findings Our findings indicated that agents are motivated by the business opportunity, marketability of the athlete, and their personal mission. They utilise storytelling, social media, and advocacy as strategies to market their athletes. Agents value the marketable lifestyle (e.g. life story) as the most salient dimension in building athlete brand image. Additionally, social media was seen as a critical tool to elevate athlete brand. Findings show positive environments in elite athletes with disabilities branding with need to combat barriers that long existed in disability sport marketing. Implications Our study applied the MABI framework to disability sport and extended the literature on athlete branding. We proposed modifications to the model and provided practical strategies for stakeholders to build and improve the marketability of EAwD.","PeriodicalId":47777,"journal":{"name":"European Sport Management Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49108442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
