Free Action Sports Management

Newschoolers,

Integral Management is a nonprofit, no cost support agency founded and operated entirely by students. Until last year, our focus was on the music industry, but starting last Fall, we began to manage a limited number of action sports athletes. I've found the change to be refreshing in a lot of ways, primarily concerning the drive and focus which you guys bring to the table.

I'm not going to lie, we can't work magic, so don't expect that. Last season, we spent a lot of time gaining contacts in the industry as well as forming plans for those we manage and conducted an interview as part of a research project. Additionally. because we do everything for free, we have a very small budget, which explains why the website is free and email addresses aren't custom. Our capabilities include marketing, management, consulting, and communications. Our team is committed to advancing not only your own career, but also the sport itself in any way we can.

2014-15 Application Details

This year, I'm going to try to run the application process in a more uniform way. It was crazy trying to sort through everything last year. What we'll be looking for is dynamic and it isn't easily condensed into a single application, which presents a challenge. Please send a bio, any edits or content, competition results, and any other information you feel we should review to integralmanagement@live.com. Put "2014-15 Application" in the subject field. We will review and respond to every submission, but it will take time. We ended up with only a few athletes last year, but Integral is hoping to grow this season. Round 1 begins tonight and will end on November 15. Round 2 begins December 1st and will end on January 5.

I'm sure I left out a lot so If you have any questions, please contact me directly through NS, email at integralmanagement@live.com, or fill out the form at http://www.integralmanagement.webs.com. Also, use this thread to ask any questions or for discussion. Please spread the word about our services, which are open to skiers, snowboarders, BMX riders, whitewater kayakers, skateboarders, and anyone else who is seeking success inaction sports.

Thanks for your interest. We're stoked to check out your applications,

Kyle

Director

I'n not sure what seems sketchy. All we're offering to do is help out people trying to progress in sports that they're passionate. I'm not trying to bullshit anyone and I think I was pretty clear about where expectations should be set in my post.

Then why are you using an image on that site that advertises your business, that is not yours, is not an athlete that you represent and judging by the rest of the website you didn't even pay for to use?

Thanks for your understanding man. It started out as hate last year too, haha, but eventually people respected what we're trying to do opposed to forming meaningless objections.

Lucas Trent, a 15 year old skier from Seattle started skiing at the age of 3. Lucas has a strong background in racing competition, and is now switching his focus to freestyle skiing. He has been progressing rapidly and will soon be competing in slope style and big mountain competitions. Lucas hopes to become a sponsored rider by the end of this coming season and place well in his competitions. Over last summer Lucas got the opportunity to train and ski with some of the world's most well known park skiers. Primarily Lucas skied to be the best racer, but now his goal has changed to becoming a well known free skier, a goal which Integral Management hopes to help him reach.

Don't have a .webs.com domain name. A real domain name is $15, you can put it on your moms credit card and will make you 300% more legit.

I just want you guys to know that I've always felt like I was the best skier on the mountain, I progressed so much at my hill back east I had to come out west to hone my skills in powder. I'm looking for a major sponorship, I was really hoping for atomic because their products match my pants the best. I am hoping to secure a sponsor who will support my training so that I may prepare for the 2016 contest circuit. PM me for further details, this could be the start of a great professional relationship.

We're stoked to be in the process of finalizing agreements with a few skiers right now. Definitely be sending an email to us before the November 15th deadline so we have time to check everything out and make a final decision.

Thanks

OMG you guys are so legit. I bet in 5 years everyone will look upon your shameless self-promotions and will be reminded of all the positive things you've done for this sport! (cliff-notes: no positive impacts have occurred under this conglomerate of business-minded scumbags).

As another skier who is the best at my mountain and someone with many sponsors, a word of advice - the east coast to west coast transition is hella played. If you want to be original, you need to live urban and do what I did - live on the streets. Being out all night in vail hitting rails and sleeping in your condo by day is a hard lifestyle, but it will get you that boot sponsor that should really bring your whole look together.

I just hate thinking that a potential athlete, who could go pro with the proper management, ends up never getting sponsored because you guys are inept.

You guys may be the exact opposite, but repping a skier who is not sponsored and using images of athletes you don't represent makes it seem like it's more of the former than the latter.
