THE IMPACT JOURNAL is where the game gives way to purpose.

From NIL athletes and youth coaches to sports nonprofits and community leaders, these long-form features document the people using sports to create opportunities, strengthen neighborhoods, and inspire the next generation. Written by GOOD ATHLETES founder Jermell Stills, each story is a personal, on-the-ground account of impact in action—because some of the most important moments happen when nobody’s keeping score.
