Should more parents follow Alexis Ohanian's lead in teaching their kids the value of earning success?

Alexis Ohanian might be known for his immense love for his daughter Olympia, but he knows where to draw the line. Recently, his daughter’s participation in his project, Athlos New York, made him exceptionally proud. Despite his happiness, he made it clear that he wouldn’t tolerate any bias. When a supporter urged him to acknowledge Olympia’s contribution in a special way, Ohanian’s reaction further elevated his respectability within the fraternity.

Ohanian had the sweetest message for one of his followers, who believed Ohanian’s elder daughter, Olympia, deserved special recognition from Athlos. The Reddit co-founder shared an image of Olympia smiling as she ran on the track at Athlos in New York. She was also pictured competing in a track race with her cousin. “She runs NY. Olympia had such a good time she asked to run the track at the end and I had to oblige. We gifted dozens of NY track youth tickets to this event because these kids deserve to be part of history – if they can see a professional path, everything changes,” Ohanian tweeted. His words reflected his pride in seeing Olympia participate in his dream project, which supports female track and field competitors.

After Ohanian’s tweet, one of his followers recommended “Give her a Tiffany tiara already!” Now Athlos aimed to promote financial equality for female athletes. They offered $60,000 with a custom Tiffany crown to the winners. Here the follower suggested offering Olympia a similar crown for her participation. While daddy Ohanian felt proud, he refused to give any bias to his daughter. “She gotta earn it,” responded Olympia’s father. Despite his love for his daughter, he made the female athletes’ brilliance clear through his statement.
