Ride the Noise, Fuel the Brand!

Global Sports Agency

The Sauce

With offices in the USA and Australia, Athlete Lounge is a next-generation sports agency specializing in brand integration into Supercross. Our mission is clear: help non-endemic companies break into one of the world’s fastest-growing sports with strategies that deliver measurable results.


We represent brands first — building entry points, structuring sponsorships, and activating campaigns that cut through the noise. From procurement to execution, we guide companies through the full lifecycle of Supercross partnerships: securing the right teams or athletes, creating bold marketing activations, and tracking ROI every step of the way.


Supercross isn’t just racing — it’s culture, lifestyle, and global entertainment. With deep expertise across SMX, World Supercross, and Australian Supercross, we position brands where action meets audience, unlocking opportunities for engagement far beyond the track.


Athlete management remains part of our DNA, but our focus is helping brands accelerate into the sport with confidence, creativity, and impact.

John Papola, Partner

With over 25 years of experience as a sports agent and advisor, I have dedicated my career to the strategic development and commercial growth of elite athletes. My expertise spans the full spectrum of sports management, including contract negotiation, brand partnerships, long-term financial planning, and career strategy—always with a focus on protecting the athlete’s interests and building their legacy beyond sports.

My career has evolved from traditional representation to pioneering in the modern NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) marketplace. I leverage my extensive network and deep industry insight to architect impactful, compliant partnerships between collegiate athletes and national brands. I specialize in navigating the complexities of this new landscape, creating programs that align with institutional policies while maximizing value for both the athlete and the corporate partner.

As the founder of Athlete Lounge and a former Managing Partner of an international sports agency, I have a proven track record of negotiating high-stakes deals and building enduring partnerships with Fortune 500 companies and world-class athletes. My core specialty remains fostering authentic, long-term collaborations that deliver measurable results and build lasting brand equity.
