We decided that this was necessary because there was no one place to find a list of all the blogs that are written by athletes. Yardbarker.com has a ton of athlete blogs but even they don’t have a page with a list of all of their “verified” athletes. This is our list of blogs written by athletes and it is meant to be a comprehensive list of all blogs maintained by athletes. If you know of an athlete blog that we don’t have on our list we want you to email us.
