Being an athlete means you need to follow a strict routine. Especially when you're a student-athlete, which means you have to focus on both sports and studies and that's a hard nut to crack. Thus, there requires a trustworthy person who can manage your online profiles and accounts. Besides this, there are minor athletes as well, who are unable to profile themselves as an individual in the online profiling platforms just because of the strict terms of age restrictions in their respective country's constitutions or they're simply incompetent to agree with the Terms & Conditions of the Services. Thus, to overcome such kind of difficulties, Sportsmatik.com offers a special kind of member category for Athlete Guardians.

By signing up as an Athlete Guardian, he/she may be able to create and manage the profile of his/her athletes who are unable to manage it by themselves in lack of time or case of incompetency. Not only this, you can connect and communicate with other sportspersons and organisations, especially sponsors, coaches, physiotherapists, nutritionists, clubs, academies etc. In this way, you can help your athletes in highlighting their skills and achievements in the online world and create more and more opportunities for them.
