Being sponsored isn’t all about how good you are. Being competent helps. Entering contests helps. Placing in contests helps. You don’t have to win, just placing is good. What companies look for is how you conduct yourself, as well as your overall contribution to the yoyoing community. You need to be a somewhat known quantity locally or regionally to be considered. ---

It’s not all about that, it’s about what you can bring to the company. If you’re a good player, that’s one thing, but if you are willing to put in blood sweat and tears for a company, that’s a whole nother thing. ---
