Real Sports Heroes explores the importance of today’s black sports star having a voice that goes beyond the court and playing field. Real Sports Heroes takes a look at the sports world's biggest stars and lets them tell their story about their life growing up black in America and why those experiences impacted them today and why they want their voice to be heard beyond the hardwood. The American sports star has a voice like never before but there are still people in our country that want it silenced. So why is that a bad idea? RSH dives deep into each athlete/guest’s personal backstory as we dig into why this voice should not and will not be muted.

Customer Reviews
Thank you ABFC!
This is the most refreshing podcast centered on sports that there is. We always hear about athletes on the field and how great they are, but what truly makes them great is their performance off of it. This podcast sheds light on their lives off the gridiron and is something we badly need in today’s society.
Impactful!!!
I like the candor and the directness of the information given out by the athletes. I think putting it in their own words and what they are telling and how it felt to them at the time really makes a big impact. Their perspective from the inside as they saw it, looking out at the world, delivers a really big impression...
This is produced wonderfully!
This podcast has been great so far. I am really enjoying the stories and I am learning so much!!! Our history is being told in all areas 🙌🏾
