Spotted: When athletes aren't being athletes
WWOS staff
If there's one thing that professional athletes have embraced in the modern era, it has been their ability to connect with fans through social media.
Whether it's through text, photos or video, they've learnt that reaching out online doesn't just provide their supporters with a sense of engagement, but it can also translate into massive earnings.
It's why they've become masters of the selfie and when there's usually stunning bodies and locations on show it's not difficult to understand why their posts are so popular.
