Veteran NFL wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald Jr told Fortune #BrainstormTech that his decision to invest in Chess.com goes back to his youth, when the centuries old board game helped him manage the challenges of ADHD.
00:00I feel like a lot of athletes are going from athlete to investor.
00:03Is that a trend you see happening more and more?
00:06Yeah, I mean, I think guys have more knowledge now.
00:09And I think it's fashionable to be able to do it.
00:11But, you know, in terms of things that I like to invest in, Chess.com being one of them is like things that I actually enjoy that I can add value to.
00:19You know, thinking about, you know, our Blitz Champs, you know, what we were able to do for the last four years now, bringing NFL players together to compete.
00:27Oh, man. Unfortunately, I've never won it before, but I've gone deep into the playoffs.
00:32And it's been a lot of fun to be able to see the game grow and, you know, seeing my kids play and so many getting so many friends involved as well.
