FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Coeur d’Alene, ID – April 14, 2026 – SportsHero, LLC makes it simple for athletes to connect with sponsors, supporters, and opportunities that help them play, grow, and succeed. Whether it’s funding for registration fees, new sports gear, travel to tournaments, coaching, or camps, the platform puts control directly in the hands of athletes and their families.

Key features of the new platform include:

1. Easy athlete profiles with bios, stats, trading cards, and wishlists for gear

3. Digital membership cards via Apple/Google Wallet
4. Community features including friend connections, team/group pages, and private messaging

“I was one of those kids who had to stop playing the sport I loved because it became too expensive for my single mom raising me alone,” said Manuel, Founder of SportsHero. “SportsHero was born out of my own experience, passion, and a dream to make sure no young athlete ever has to face that same heartbreaking choice. We’re determined to build a platform where every kid has a real shot, not just the ones whose families can afford it. This is more than a website. It’s a movement to change youth sports for good.”

The platform supports 50+ sports and is now open for athletes, parents and sponsors to join.
