What is expected of a sponsored athlete
Street Team athletes are expected to hold themselves as outstanding members of the local community. We expect our athletes to be kind, supporting, and present toward anyone who may be looking up to them. FiM athletes are expected to be law-abiding and convey themselves in a respectable manner in person and digitally on their social media accounts. In addition to this, FiM asks for some photo and video content from its athletes on a monthly or semi-monthly basis.
