The Position of Power - Professional Male Athletes
Often I see articles centered around the plight of female athletes whether at the professional, semi-professional, or college level. However, I find less content centered around the professional male athlete and how their position of power, when not used in advocacy, is one of the biggest detriments to female athletes. Professional male athletes, in North America, who are currently playing have never been without a union. However, many female athletes who are currently playing have only recently had the luxury of union support and bargaining in a position of power.

This is a letter to all those who have struggled or are struggling to find your place in the world. Keep fighting, keep working hard, and it is okay to ask for help. I am excited to get started in this new role, but I will never forget the lessons I have learned from the failures and the hardships.
