What's better than reading in-depth news about your favorite athletes, perhaps getting that news straight from the players' pen or mouth? "The Players' Tribune" is a sports media company started by Derek Jeter back in 2014. Since then, TPT has grown into video, continued to break news, and builds recognition in the sports space.
The reason why Derek Jeter founded the company was to create a platform for players to feel comfortable and excited to share their story. When an athlete wants to talk about something beyond their day to day sport they would have a place to turn. The Players' Tribune gives players the tools to publish and control their stories.
Jeff Levick is the CEO of "The Players Tribune." He explains how TPT helps the greatest source of any sports story become the athlete themselves.
TPT has launched various platforms including "Out of Context." The video segment is a forum for athletes to give real and honest takes on subjects. NFL star Richard Sherman used the space to talk about subjects ranging from concussion protocols to season-ending injuries.
When asked about his impression on the Facebook shift, Levick said he is excited about the change. He believes the change will favor and encourage real and thoughtful content that audiences want to share. He believes this will deeply benefit The Players' Tribune.
For future steps, Levick says The Players's Tribune is looking to continue innovating the ways players can tell their stories.
