ear TrooRa Readers, I’m Morgan Bernard, Associate Editor of TrooRa Magazine, and I am thrilled to present this year’s Special Sports Issue. As a recent addition to the TrooRa team, I eagerly immersed myself in my role, kicking off with a feature on the dynamic world of professional women’s soccer in the United States. In this year’s Special Sports Issue, our writers have meticulously crafted stories that not only delve into the lives of modern athletes and the thrill of competition but also uncover the challenges they face after the final whistle. From a comprehensive exploration of the National Women’s Soccer League’s evolution, where players are advocating for fair pay and a secure work environment, to the intriguing stories of athletes who have ventured into the culinary world, using food as a medium to inspire the next generation, we offer our readers an exclusive glimpse into an often overlooked side of sports.
Our focus for this year’s Special Sports Issue was to find and share stories in sports that are often neglected and give a voice to those who may not have had an opportunity to share their story. Our writers interviewed former pro athletes, reported on the new wave of sports tourism, dove into the history of the Olympics, and much more. This issue takes our readers around the world, highlighting stories from our Bay Area backyard to South Africa, Denmark, and Beyond. Our writers worked tirelessly to shine a light on a new side of athletics, revealing the resilience of pro athletes as they transition to civilian life. It also shares insights into how modern home gyms have become integral in our digital age and how meditation may be the key to unlocking our potential. Dive into our latest issue and see for yourself. Sincerely,
Morgan Bernard Associate Editor
