Marketing - Business/Commerce (general)
German term or phrase: Sport begeistert ...
Sport begeistert - und wir wollen unsere Kunden begeistern. Wir freunen uns auf jedes Spiel, bei dem dann sicherlich auch unsere Gäste und Kunden begeistert sind.

(Es geht um das Sponsoring eines Transportunternehmens für eine Sportmannschaft. Für "begeistert" in diesem Zusammenhang fehlt mir die passende Idee.)

Sport inspires...


Explanation:
For the one at the beginning of the body text. But for the heading, I would go for a different, snappier version: "The inspiration of sport". Then I would start the body text thus: "Sport inspires - and we want to our customers to feel the inspiration too."

agree  TonyTK: Sounds natural. Maybe start with "Sport is about passion. ..." and possibly "this" instead of "our" before the last "passion"? Just a suggestion.

  -> Thanks Tony
neutral  mckinnc: I'm not crazy on this using "a". However, I think "Sport is passion" works much better or "is all about passion" as I suggested below

agree  Darin Fitzpatrick: I like "Sport is passion;" it is more poetic and "grabs" the reader. However, "sport" in the singular sounds British, and "Sports are passion" sounds American but clunkier. Hmmm.
