Schooling launches own swim school in Tampines Hub called Swim Schooling but he is not going to be a full time swim teacher there. Students will be taught by the trained coaches employed by the school, which makes it same same as other swimming schs I presume? Ever since the Olympics ended he has been so busy with being a superstar and now even his own sch. How many of you will send your child to his sch in hopes of grooming the next Olympics Champ of the future? Nevertheless best of luck in the Asian Games Joseph Schooling!  [thumbsup]

sportsman product life cycle is real short, so when the brand is hot, grab whatever before the sun sets.  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Olympic champion lifespan is short.

Better start early.

Swimming is one year can be world champion, next year not even on podium.

 

Since his win, there's 1-2 guys swimming consistently significantly faster than him.

 

Hopefully now he's pro, can do even better.

He has already proven himself and theres nothing else to prove further. His success is definitely sweeter than our claimed "world best" transport but yet to be proven.  Oops, here I go again. 

 

Anyway, congrats to him. Wish him all the best.

His parents' ROI finally gathers momentum! [laugh]

 

Anyway it is a logical and wise move for him to establish several lines of income such as this while his branding is still very visible. Can retire early, and even then, become a sports pundit or coach.

Schooling having a great time …

Toyota cars to cost more? haha

 

http://www.marketing-interactive.com/joseph-schooling-drives-off-with-toyota-ambassadorship/

 

Borneo Motors, the distributor for Toyota, has signed an agreement with Olympian Joseph Schooling for a brand ambassadorship for a sum which was not disclosed. The move will see Schooling drive three different models of Toyota vehicles over the next three years.

 

According to The Straits Times, this includes the Toyota RAV4 which costs around SG$142,000, a 2019 RAV4 which costs around SG$150,000 to SG$160,000 and a Toyota Supra which has an estimate worth of SG$200,000 and SG$300,000. Marketing has reached out to both Borneo Motors and Schooling’s PR for comment.

 

The cars will also bear a number plate with the numbers 5039, which is the time (50.39-seconds) which clinched Schooling a gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 for the 100-metre butterfly event.  Through the partnership, Borneo Motors and Toyota also looks to better engage younger car buyers.

 

In a statement to the local news outlet, Jasmine Wong, Borneo Motors MD, explained that the company was up against tough competition to sign Schooling. She added that what sealed the deal for Schooling was Toyota’s willingness to put his training “above and beyond” its expectations as a brand ambassador.

 

This includes building the partnership around his training for the Asian Games in August and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics; Schooling said to ST. Wong added that Schooling also matches many of the values Toyota embodies, which includes not being “flashy” despite being at the top, being grounded and close to family.
