Nov 7, 2024 – Building a Legacy, One Step at a Time
When we established Sarasota Paradise, our goal was clear: to craft something lasting. At Audigr, we understood the unique opportunity of starting small, building a local club from the ground up in a community that lacked a professional soccer infrastructure. Jumping straight to a professional level might have garnered quick attention, but we believe that genuine, enduring success is born of authenticity and engagement.
Intentional Growth and Purposeful Development
Launching in the USL League Two wasn’t just a decision of practicality but one of purpose. Each season, we’ve been building a story that resonates with the local community, a story that is organically rooted and gradually evolving. By creating meaningful experiences and encouraging an environment of transparency, we are building a foundation that goes beyond the team—one that weaves Sarasota Paradise into the fabric of the community.
Lessons in Sustainability
For many new clubs, the initial excitement can mask real challenges. Often, teams are dazzled by their own early success, only to see support wane after the novelty fades. We believe that sustainability requires patience, resilience, and a commitment to incremental, meaningful growth. From our first year, we set out to learn, to connect deeply, and to develop a base that grows because of genuine loyalty rather than fleeting curiosity.
A Model for the Future
As we look toward our third season, we’re setting a higher standard for the game day experience, for team performance, and for the overall organization. Every decision we make is guided by the idea that building a club in a sustainable, organic way will ultimately create a lasting legacy.
At Audigr, we are creating more than just clubs; we are creating enduring legacies. This journey—intentional and strategic—is one that we believe in for Sarasota Paradise and for future clubs we partner with.
