Why does my profile have to be public?

Because otherwise we can't see exactly what we need to choose you.

Curation runs on what's publicly visible: that you really train, what your content looks like, how your community reacts. If your profile is private, we — and the brand — see a closed door. Then we can't assess you, and you drop out for the wrong reason.

And it keeps mattering after selection. A collab runs on visibility: your content has to reach people beyond your own followers, and your tags to @sundaysquad1 and the brand don't show up on a private account. Being public is what makes the collab work.

It doesn't have to show your whole life. But the part you want to be judged on as an athlete — your training, your posts, your style — is best left open. Think of it as your shop window, not your diary.
