What Pro Sports Taught Me About Uniting Differences
I've had the tremendous honor of working with professional athletes for over a decade, helping them find and fine-tune their voices by teaching everything I've learned over 20 years in media and the stage.
Still, the most humbling experience was when 30 NFL players shared their journeys with me for my PhD research on the media-framing of athletes. This TEDx Talk shares just a glimpse of their stories.

"Think about it, you have a group of 53 guys from all different backgrounds, from across the country and in some cases from different parts of the globe coming together for one common goal. They’re building, growing and grinding together. Does this mean they’re all best friends? No… but it does mean there’s a level of mutual respect & appreciation for what each person brings to the table... allowing them to build unbreakable teams."
