NFL star J.J. Watt teases at meetings with coaches of FC Burnley!

Burnley, England - j. J. Watt, the former NFL superstar, recently showed that he does not only cut a good figure on the football field, but also in the world of football. In a cool campaign, he posed with Fabian Hürzeler, coach of Brighton & Hove Albion, in a football hall in the USA. The two seem to understand each other very well, because Watt did not miss the opportunity to give Hürzeler a small, humorous side blow. He wished him good luck in 36 out of 38 games of the Premier League, while he was only a smile for the two games in which he will keep his fingers crossed for his club, FC Burnley.

social media meets Sport

in a world in which social media has changed sport significantly, Watt is no exception. The importance of platforms such as Instagram and Tiktok is growing, and athletes use them to communicate directly with fans.

Burnley itself could benefit from the growing social media dynamics. Young players invest a lot of time in their online presence to build their brand. This new way of interaction could help the association to achieve wider audience classes and increase interest in the games. Last but not least, Burnley could benefit from Watt's influence in the NFL and beyond, since the symbiosis of entertainment and sport is more in demand today.

the more exciting remains to be observed how the link between sport and social media will develop in the future. While Watt and his team are working on the sporting front, he always stays at the pulse of time when caring for his online presence. With a clear focus on both sporty and digital goals, Burnley could be even more present in the football scene in the coming years - and J. J. Watt certainly has a good hand to shine in both areas.
