"For Those Mouthy Wives"

 Cecelia Townes

 | Beyond the Game LLC | GladiatHers

For as long as sports have existed, athletes’ wives have existed.  For much of their existence, however, athletes’ wives have remained seen but not heard; mere eye-candy that travels to support their spouses.  While the media often got the inside scoop on their famous husbands, most of the public was left wondering what these women were really like and what they did all day.  But with the advent of social media and reality television, the athletes’ wives, or as we like to call them GladiatHer® Wives, have increasingly become more vocal, noticeable (and dare I say household names) in society.  These outlets and genuine interest in these women have afforded athletes’ wives the ability to form their own brands and streams of income while sharing a piece of their lives with the world.READ MORE

"A Peek Inside Her Agenda: LaChina Robinson" by Laureen Irat | Founder, Beyond The W

On any given game day, while most journalists are still at the office, LaChina Robinson is already at the arena. Often she’s there before the players even arrive. Dressed down in jeans and comfy sneakers, she uses this quiet time to prepare.

Fast forward to game time and the towering 6’4” beauty, now wearing a killer pair of heels, heads to the court to bring the excitement from the sideline that many of us fans look forward to when we turn on the TV.
