"Shut up and dribble". Athletes are not mindless drones for the entertainment of others. Athletes have a unique platform to be bold for what they believe in. That's exactly what we talked about in this conversation with Taylor and Simone. In a profession where you are judged by your athletic prowess, how can we remain rooted in our identity in Christ. Taylor is a left back for newly promoted MLS club, Nashville SC and Simone is forward for the Portland Thorns in the NWSL.
