Sports Content Creators, Give your viewers what they want - Feedback !

Inspired by the Olympian who learnt from YouTube, we reached out to grassroots athletes to ask them how they used video to learn new skills and tricks for their sport?

The results very extremely insightful:

• Above 80% told us they used video platforms like YouTube to learn new skills 
• Over 90% said that they were keen to get feedback from content creators 
• Almost all of them were open to the idea of paying content creators for feedback

See survey snapshot below :

Searching for content on social media can be time consuming. So we asked athletes if organising content for them in a systematic manner would help? Again 90% of them told us that this would be helpful. So we did the following:

• Segmented content by skills for each sport
• Allowed athletes to bookmark and create a customised curriculum in their dashboard
• And off course, the ability to get feedback and download those videos for their keeping

In summary, if you are a content creator that is giving away all your skills and knowledge for free with the hope of gaining followers. Only for your upsell to be a generic product like clothing, vitamins or equipment. Think again, you already have a captive audience that wants your feedback.

Benefits of watching content on the Invictus Platform

The current generation of grassroots athletes watch videos to learn new tricks and skills. In fact this is nothing new, Julius Yego an Olympic medalist learnt to throw the Javelin by watching videos. Hence the nickname “YouTube Man” 

Motivated by the exploits of Julius Yego we explored what role we can play to help grassroots athletes learn more effectively via video. We built the Invictus platform to deliver the following benefits to grassroots athletes:

• Receive Feedback: We’ve have an inbuilt video analysis tool to enable athletes to record themselves performing a skill and send it to their creator of choice. So that the Content Creator can effectively review and provide feedback to grassroots athletes 

• Structure: When looking for content, it can be a very time consuming process. If you are following someone via their social media accounts, you need to go through their entire content in order to find what you want. We have segment content based on skills. See example below, for soccer.

• Customise: We know, to be the complete player or athlete - you need to take the positive influences of different creators and skills. Our platform allows you to curate content to build your own learning curriculum. See this video for more details 

Above all, grassroots athletes via the Invictus platform have access to global experts who can offer a different approach and style to improve their game. We are only just getting started. Join us as we democratise  sports coaching

A dedicated Creator Economy for Sports People

What is Invictus 

Invictus is a Creator Economy Platform dedicated to sportspeople. The platform serves as a library of video content that  grassroots athletes can view to learn new skills and get feedback from content creators they are seeking to replicate  

Value Proposition

Presently grassroots athletes rely on rich sources of video content to learn new skills from content creators. Who publish their videos of sporting skills on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Where the process falls short is, athletes have no means of getting feedback from these experts that they are seeking to emulate. This is the problem we solve

Why do we exist?

There are two reasons behind the establishment of the Invictus Creator Economy Platform: 

It just makes sense!

• Julius Yego is living proof that video is an invaluable source in refining your athletic craft. He has an Olympic medal and a world championship crown to back this up 
• Motivated by this success, we asked grassroots athletes how they used video to learn. 8 out of 10 told us, they learnt by practising what they watched 
• Most wanted feedback from content creators but this was not possible. So, we solved this problem by facilitating the process through our platform

For the Human Impact 

• Sportspeople start their journeys from the ages of 5 or 6. If they don’t go pro, they find out at 18 which means they have spent over a decade refining their skills 
• The “lucky ones” pivot to other careers and sadly even the ones that make it. Struggle with depression, financial despair and suicide when careers end
• Invictus is on a mission to eradicate the above and provide those that choose a sporting career, the opportunity to monetise their craft after the “game is over”

What does success look like?

Success to us will manifest itself in two ways:

• Learning: Like how Julius Yego learnt through YouTube because he had no coach. We are building on this and want to improve this experience. So that no athlete is ever marginalised give their location
• Earn: The next generation needs the current crop of athletes to help them succeed. We don’t want to see retiring athletes walk away from their sport and not use their skills again. We are enabling them to impart that knowledge while making a living

We are only just getting started. The creator economy platform is the tip of the iceberg. We will work with ambitious expert coaches and content creators  to build a suite of smart sports hardware that will enable precision remote coaching. Along the way, undoubtedly there will be more like us that will surface. Our mission will set us apart from the rest because we put the athlete first.  In the words of William J. Bowerman - “If you have a body, you’re an athlete”
