Yes. That's literally why you're asked.

A squad works because your audience believes you, and that belief vanishes the moment you sound like an ad. So you don't have to pretend a product changed your life.

Too vague

"BEST PRODUCT EVER"

Sharp

"Sits well on long runs, less on fast intervals"

More credible — and more useful to your followers.

Honest does mean: fair, concrete and respectful. A constructive caveat is fine; torching a brand because shipping was a day late is something else. Say what you really think, the way you'd say it to a training buddy.

What if a sportfluencer is negative about the product?

It can — and it's exactly what makes a squad different from an ad. The same honesty that makes your content credible sometimes produces a critical note. We keep the risk small with good fit and clear expectations up front; structural criticism isn't a disaster but free product research.Read how good curation upfront makes a negative post almost impossible →

What does a brand ambassador actually do?

Use the product, show it and be honest about it. With Sunday Squad Ambassadors, per round: new product, use it in your training, post in the posting window (usually a story and a reel), tag, mention it's a partnership. No script, no weekly quota, no cheering for something you don't rate.Read the full answer →

What does a brand expect from me as an ambassador?

Four things, all in the briefing: actually use the product, post within the posting window, tag the brand and disclose the partnership, and be honest. No script, no events, no weekly quota: the brand gets what it gets because you train. The ad disclosure is a JEP rule, not a Sunday Squad rule.Read the full answer →

Do I have to pay tax on the free products?

We're not accountants. Roughly: a product or experience from an occasional collab isn't treated as salary. If it becomes structural and high in value, run it past your accountant. We always communicate the retail value up front.Read how the tax picture looks in practice →

Do I get to keep the products after the collab?

Yes. The product is yours and stays yours — no return, no expiry. The product is the reward for your content.Read why the product is the reward — not a loan →
