Track & field is about to pay $150,000 for one win. That matters. For too long, some of the best athletes in the world have competed at an elite level without elite economics surrounding them.

So yes—win the race. But also build the brand. Build partnerships. Build assets. Build something that still has value when the race is over. Win the race. Build beyond it. #OffTrackReport

HYROX may now be worth close to $700M. They didn’t invent running. They didn’t invent fitness. They didn’t invent competition. They packaged all three into something people wanted to belong to. That’s the lesson.

Athletes should think about their careers the same way. Your talent is the raw material. The bigger question: What are you building around it? #OffTrackReport
