SUMMARY
How can athletes with an intellectual disability and Special Olympics Belgium convince the Belgian sporting world to play sports together?
A three-tier, multi-year strategy generated attention and an unprecedented growth of 60% in terms of athletes in the club, as well as new valuable sponsorship contracts. A communication strategy based on the principle of ‘challenging the strongest to become stronger yourself’ enables the Special athletes to demonstrate they are worth their weight in gold.
The multi-year strategy resulted in a genuine turnaround in the Belgian sporting world.
