Athletes Who Give Back In A Big Way Sports Curious

In this episode, Amy and Scott discuss the charitable efforts of athletes during the holiday season. They highlight the starfish effect, where small acts of kindness can make a difference in someone's life. They mention athletes like Shaq, Cristiano Ronaldo and John Cena, who have made significant impacts through their foundation work and personal acts of kindness. The conversation then shifts to athletes driving systemic change, focusing on Dak Prescott and his Faith Fight Finish Foundation. They also discuss Caitlin Clark's involvement with the Coralville Community Food Pantry and LeBron James' I Promise School in Akron, Ohio. 
 
Takeaways Athletes have the power to make a positive impact through their charitable efforts. Small acts of kindness can have a significant impact on individuals and communities. Some athletes go beyond individual acts of kindness and work towards driving systemic change. The starfish effect reminds us that even if we can't help everyone, we can still make a difference in someone's life. The NFL recognizes athletes who make a difference in their communities through the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
