Why is this the case?
We feel as though the majority of today's media is more geared towards highlighting things such as drama, gossip, worldly possessions, and status. It's amazing that the average user spends 3 hours on social media every single day... but what are they watching? What are they consuming? Who are they becoming?
The Silver Lining...
Athletes are some of the most followed individuals in the world on social media. They have the ability to reach hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people with a single post. As a result of their ability to reach countless people, athletes have the unique opportunity and power to influence those people - for good or for bad.
People wear what athletes wear, they do what athletes do, and they buy what athletes buy. This influence is what will allow us to change the conversation in the media - one story at a time.
Our Solution
The Athletes’ Corner Media Platform will allow athletes to use their God-given influence for what matters most, on the world‘s biggest stage, social media. We believe that by focusing our content on what matters most, we will be able to be a light in the world to those who are in need. By creating content that’s focused on faith and family, we believe we will have the ability to become a media outlet that uplifts, motivates, and inspires others.
