Professional athletes prepare for competitions, train and condition in the gym, work with their coaches and dietitians, cool down, and warm up 24/7, right? Well almost, but not quite. 

​

Although professional athletes spend a significant amount of time conditioning their bodies to be in prime condition through proper exercise and a regimented diet, they also enjoy taking time off from their rigorous routines to interact with others outside of the realm of athletics.

​

As social beings, we enjoy sharing our experiences with others, in person and through technology. In today's society, social media offers the public a glimpse into the lives of professional athletes via accessible platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.
