Introduction
Hey guys,
My name is David Barefoot. I am a 30 year old athlete on a mission to discover the further depths of sports and competition beyond the traditional framing. After college baseball, I became like millions of others, and fell into the automatically tagged category of “former athlete”. With my innate curiosity, and a continued urge to compete, I began writing down thoughts and concepts that ultimately sparked a vision about sports that I can’t unsee. I’m inviting you into my world through this site and social media where you can follow my journey to better understand, hopefully gain interest and perhaps participate in. After all, this is meant to be inclusive, community-based and a place for “former athletes” to connect. Welcome in!
Boxing
In January 2025, I took the first official step into this complex pursuit and began training towards a goal I found as the perfect challenge. Consider this the trunk to a tree with many branches.
Podcast
Shortly after, I started my podcast in motion, where I talk with other “ɹǝɯɹoℲ Athletes” while casually playing a sport. This setting brings a unique vibe and has been an incredible way to connect.
