Can I give my honest opinion?

By Tom Bogaert · Reviewed on

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. "Sits well on long runs, less on fast intervals" is more credible — and more useful to your followers — than "BEST PRODUCT EVER".

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.

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.

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.

What kind of brands will I encounter at Sunday Squad?

#
Sports brands in the broadest sense: nutrition, apparel, shoes, accessories, recovery, tech, safety, events. From challengers to names you know. You're matched on what fits your sport and style — not every brand fits every athlete, and that's exactly the point.

Why should I apply if I'm not guaranteed to be selected?

#
Because one application puts you in view not for one collab, but for all the next ones. Your profile stays in the pool; selection is about fit, and fit varies per campaign. Not being chosen says something about the match of that moment, not about you.
