WARRENTON, VA, June 1, 2010 – International social media networking company Physiquebook has signed a one-year athlete endorsement contract with pro football hopeful and Warrenton resident Nick Schrank.

The sponsorship also will support Schrank’s ongoing training and branding efforts as well as his video blog, which creatively chronicles his journey to professional football online at http//www.nickshrank.com.
Nick will make his first sponsored appearance at the Elite Pro Football Combines on June 6th in Atlanta, Ga.

This is probably a bad move for him! chances are the 1 tub of whey protein and 2 free tshirts are not worth the freedom and flexibility that he is giving up.

He would be better off accepting random friends requests on facebook

the guy is a media machine - he is on literally everything social media, he has high quality videos out there.  No team wants him currently, that eye injury he had and his 40 time is just too high for a linebacker...  Still, good luck to him.  He's hustling.

It's not the 40 time.

He weighs 210 lbs (way to small for a lb) and played at a tiny school.

I hope he makes it, though.

A no talent loser signing with a nobody?

Does anyone actually use physiquebook (*physiquebook*, jesus, the name makes me cringe)? A straight up rip off of facebook concept, which everyone already uses. WTF?

*Draft Eligible* The fact that the guy is *eligible* for the draft, but no one has drafted him, doesn’t that mean that he should find a day job? I don’t know shit about football.

This thread is sad.

He's trying out for the NFL, CFL, and UFL.  Physiquebook is just trying to help athletes achieve their dreams, PB will be bringing other athletes on board soon.  Just like sponsoring a bodybuilder as an amateur, its not guaranteed that they will turn pro.  Its just that we'll both benefit from this, he's very proactive as 240 says he's everywhere marketing himself, and now he will be promoting physiquebook along the way.  The guy has talent, and works hard, don't hate on him for trying to make it.

Matt, is this a joke? you don't just try out and make the NFL! there are a million and one division 1 school athletes out there.  Not many people go un-drafted and make the NFL at line backer.  Perhaps as a skat back, maybe, and even those guys have amazing 40 yard times.  Or some kicker that changed sport from soccer.


the real question is, when we he up the dosage and start to compete in bb? and please don't tell us that he  thinking about MMA  ::)

lets assume it catches on in its' genre.  if it had a user base of 500k n revenues....what would it be worth to MD, Flex, bbing.com or another fitness group?  that's where its' worth is if MattT and the crew behind it have any clue.  5k users right n no revenues so they got their work cut out like any social network which  isnt attached to anything.

we're 4 months in, around 6000 members, i think MD has around 103,000 members been around what 5+ years online?.  MD is limited to bbing and fitness, has not tapped into sports.  We have not even begun advertising campaigns cause the site is still in beta mode and under development.  We have done no SEO work or link building.  Yet we're at 6000 members in 4 months, getbig has 28,000 members been around for like 10 years, so we're way ahead of where i thought we'd be.  Eventually we'll transition into 2.0 version, dating page, marketplace, and PBTV will be up.   There's so much to do, if we're at 200K members in 2-3 years, im a happy man.

facebook had 40,000 members after 4 years, then exploded.    We have our work cut out for us for sure, but the idea works, just a matter of putting some time into it.

IMO fitbook which is taken, is too much like a weight loss site or diet site, doesn't sound right.  facebook in that case should have used peoplebook, yet they just used face instead.  Now this site has to do with athletes and competitors which all have one thing in common.   They have physiques that suite their particular sport.  ie strong man physiques, soccer player physiques, bbing physiques, power lifting physiques, basketball physiques etc..  Fitbook IMO is limited.
