Throughout her career in track and field, Allyson Felix has been a staunch advocate for the women in sports. In 2024, Felix announced the launch of Always Alpha, a sports management firm solely dedicated to women.
On the occasion of Women's Day in 2025, the 39-year-old former Olympic champion highlighted the contribution of women in sports, and how Always Alpha would take this initiative forward. At the Dolphin's Nasdaq celebration, Felix said,
“Women in sport, we have been breaking barriers for a very long time, but oftentimes it is without the same resources, investment, and visibility as our male counterparts. So that's why Always Alpha is such a critical step forward."
Felix further added,
"We are so excited that it is the first sports agency fully focused on women in sport. And we built it because we wanted to make sure that we champion female athletes and they get the representation and the opportunities that they deserve.”
Allyson Felix retired from athletics as one of the most prolific track and field athletes of all time. The American sprinter won a total of 11 Olympic medals [including seven gold medals], and 20 World Championship medals [including 14 gold medals].
