Athlete Minded: Stories

Today's episode is powerful, especially with all the division that's going on in the world today. Our guest is Hudson Taylor, who was a 3-time All-American wrestler at the University of Maryland. But it's not his athletic accomplishments which make it so powerful, it's what he is doing now. He is an advocate for LGBT rights in and out of the athletic arena. When I asked him why he takes what he does to such a level, he has an amazing response, how it's not just about this generation, but the next. He mentions that people will look back decades from now and ask, "Why didn't they do anything?" He also has some great direct action steps for people who may be unsure about how to approach somebody using homophobic or derogatory slurs. Overall, an amazing episode, and you can find more about Hudson at athleteally.org.
