Questions every athlete should be able to answer.
Exactly what must the athlete deliver?
Appearances, posts, licensing rights, content approvals, deadlines, morality clauses, and performance standards should be understood in practical terms.
When and how will the athlete be paid?
Payment triggers, timing, deductions, expenses, reporting, renewal rights, and termination consequences can change the real value of a deal.
What survives after the agreement ends?
Content usage, name and image rights, confidentiality, exclusivity, and dispute terms may continue beyond the active campaign.
