I agree, the #1 priority for an athlete is to focus on his or her sport. Also, great point about starting slow. Better to focus your energy towards a platform or two and be great with them than to use all of them and stink! Thanks for your comment, Jason.

The ultimate goal for athletes should be caring about their image and caring about their fans. The money and other things will come if they can do that successfully. Oh and yeah, they still should focus on their sport, too. :) Another thing athletes should know is that you don't have to do it all. Start slow. Pick one thing you're comfortable doing (video, audio, or writing) and pick a platform and starting doing it. And definitely need to watch what you say. Being authentic is one thing, but if the authentic "you" is turning fans off, that's a problem. Nice insights.
