The 100 Most Influential People in the World -Titans

Patrick Mahomes
Super Bowl sensation

Patrick Mahomes has always had the heart of a champion. I remember Pat as a young kid, coming to practice with his dad to tee up baseballs for me and my teammates. I distinctly remember giving him the worst advice ever. "Don't play football. The money's in baseball." I'm happy to be wrong and glad he didn't listen! Patrick has transcended the game of football to become one of the most respected athletes of all time, both on and off the field. His insatiable desire to win is outdone only by his passion to give back and make the world around him better. Patrick's legacy will live on far beyond his playing days. And-as evidenced by his back-to-back Super Bowl wins-he's not done yet! Rodriguez is a Major League Baseball World Series champion, Fox Sports studio analyst, and philanthropist

A'ja Wilson 
Generational talent
BY TOM BRADY

A'ja Wilson is not just an incredible athlete, she is also an inspiration to all who witness her talent and drive. Her journey is a testament to the power of passion and fearlessness in achieving greatness.

A'ja possesses a unique combination of natural skill and unwavering determination. This rare blend has propelled her to achieve remarkable feats in her career. With two WNBA championships with the Las Vegas Aces, three WNBA MVP awards, an NCAA title at the University of South Carolina, and even an Olympic gold medal, A'ja is undeniably a generational talent.

Off the court, A'ja's leadership shines just as brightly. Her foundation supports children and families who struggle with dyslexia, a cause close to her heart. A'ja is also an advocate against bullying, using her platform to spread awareness and promote kindness. She's a role model for athletes and individuals of all ages around the world.

SHARING GRIEF AMID WAR

Spring and early summer are difficult times for both Israelis and Palestinians. Israeli Jews move from Passover, the holiday of freedom, to Holocaust Memorial Day, to Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terror, to the triumphant celebrations of Independence Day. The days pass with rituals intended to give us a shared meaning as a society and to inculcate and frame Israel's official narrative.
