Had no idea Yuta was leaving the league! He was so fun to watch. I hope he finds fulfillment in Japan; it sounds like Jeremy is having a wonderful experience back in Taiwan and reconnecting with his roots.
As a new-grad working his first job + a huge sports fan, I loved this piece. Appreciate the work you do to build our community up.
Well pointed out. It’s a sobering reality we have to deal with - for these professional athletes. or even for a recent college grad trying to create my career.
I’ve realized this often happens so subconsciously, that even when I it rises up to the conscious thought/become aware of it, the weight of fighting against the pre-established pattern of thought is so heavy that it requires almost twice or three times the efforts / encouragements / actions / luck to be able to climb out of that narrow thinking and swim against the current of doubt.
I do believe these actions we are taking now will incrementally shift the mindsets of our youth to the right mentality, and I can see there is hope.
I also hope for those who may have not been so lucky to have that positivity as an adult, to be able to have the courage, faith, and actions to climb out of any rut. Or even to just know that there are other places where they are accepted and can shine, and do not have to hold themselves to certain societal standards / systems that weren’t designed for our benefit.
