Martin Schmitt and Simon Ammann founded an agency for sports marketing and athletes' management.

As stated on the website of the "ASP Sports Ammann Schmitt & Partner GmbH", the two ski jumping legends and their partner Hubert Schiffmann offer "comprehensive, professional and qualified advice as well as innovative services. In this process, the needs of athletes and clients are always in our focus."

"I'm looking forward to this new challenge and especially to accompanying great athletes on their way and to support them in achieving their goals", said Schmitt. The 37-year-old, who ended his ski jumping career 2014, already completed his training to become a coach and is currently studying sports science at the University in Leipzig.

Simon Ammann, who, in contrast to his German partner, not only wants to be successful in business, but still also in sports, wrote about his new tasks on his facebook page. "Not only is the new season finally starting, but from now on I will also be active in a different field. Together with Martin Schmitt and Hubert Schiffmann I can finally announce that we will take the step into the business world with a new agency. We are looking forward to accompanying and advising athletes and to take a new path in sports marketing."

Among the athletes, who will work with ASP Sports in the future is the reigning overall World Cup winner and World Champion Severin Freund.
