Athlete Network was founded by athletes with a simple mission - create an online community where athletes can fuel their driven lifestyles. The great thing about athletes is that they are lawyers, doctors, teachers, firefighters, and the list goes on. However, the one thing they all have in common is that their competitive spirit needs to constantly be fueled. Athletes are at their best when they are in a competitive environment that propels that spirit.
