Santia Deck makes history as the 1st Woman Athlete to Own a Sneaker Company

Santia Deck is breaking records once again.

Deck, a fitness expert and track star, achieved a significant milestone as the first woman to secure a multimillion-dollar contract in football when the Women’s Football League Association designated her as the face of the league in 2019.

Deck is set to join the LA Fames in an elite women’s full-tackle football league.

Reflecting on her achievement, Deck said, “I’ve had my share of challenges in the sports world, but being acknowledged as the highest-paid female football player reaffirms that God always has a plan.”

In another groundbreaking move, the “Queen of abs,” Deck, has become the first female athlete ever to own her own sneaker company.
