If you would like to make your ELITE post your own, you can find our logo and story templates here. You can also find a short video describing how to add the decals to your photos on Instagram at the link above. With all of these materials, it’s up to you whether you make a story or main post–we would be grateful for any interaction with our study’s accounts. Also, if posting something original is not what you want, we always appreciate a re-post of any content we distribute! In whatever you post, just remember to tag us with @theelitestudy and #elitevo2! Thank you and stay ELITE!

How to use: After downloading the decals at the link above to your phone, select the photo you wish to add the decal to as though you were to post it to your story. From there, go to your photos app and to the decal you wish to use, and copy the image (for iOS, select the icon of the “square with pointing up arrow” in the bottom left corner). When you return to your story post on Instagram, it will give you the option of adding the decal as a sticker, so select that and voilà! You can use this technique to not only create story posts with our decals, but also if you take a screenshot of the post, you can easily use it as a main post on any platform, that way you can integrate a short caption about the study and why your qualifying followers should take the time to contribute, i.e. “Check out @theelitestudy at Stanford University researching the genetics of elite endurance athletes to gain a deeper understanding of high-level human performance #elitevo2.”
