The Athlete Network Gives Athletes Their Own Dedicated LinkedIn-Like Platform

If people use Facebook to connect with friends and family, while professionals use LinkedIn to expand their network, why don’t athletes have their own community to fuel their driven lifestyles?

That was the question behind former University of Hawaii football player, Chris Smith, founding Athlete Network, the world’s largest social network for collegiate, professional, and everyday athletes.

Simple enough: If you’re an athlete and you’re looking to advance your career or connect with people of similar backgrounds, Athlete Network allows you to do so in its online community that’s providing a new social media experience designed to bring back relevancy.
