Financial constraint is one of the main reasons an athlete leaves national or international sport.
Thus, after studying and training, there is little time or opportunity to earn or save money. However, to do this, most need outside support and financial assistance. With increased funding cuts from Sport Canada and other funding bodies, athletes are having to become more innovative in their search for financial support. Sponsorship partnerships with those who value the commitment that athletes make to Canada and the sporting field seems very fitting. Contributions from average Canadians who appreciate the value of sport are equally as important.
