Alex Rodriguez once advised his daughters to use gender prejudices as a 'competitive advantage'

Alex Rodriguez is one of those people who has faced several challenges during his life. The MLB icon has always emphasized education, and it has grown after becoming a dad. 'A-rod' deeply loves his girls and is constantly there to help them. He also instructs them with life lessons.

The former Yankees shortstop discussed his life from various angles during his interview with David Rubenstein on the Bloomberg Wealth program. One was the counsel he gave his daughters. Rodriguez said:

“I have two daughters, Natasha and Ella, 18 and 14. And I tell them the same thing. You are females, and people are going to underestimate you. And I think you can use that as a competitive advantage, but the one I know for sure is that nothing comes easy.”

A-Rod's advice to his daughters made sense from both a business and athletic standpoint. He criticized those who typically disregard the process when sharing knowledge about developing something successfully.
