Throughout his 12-year MLS career and beyond, @justmorrow has consistently paired performance with purpose. A 2020 MLS Humanitarian of the Year and co-founder of @bpcmls , he continues to channel his leadership into designing systems that turn influence into lasting social impact.
Justin’s lived experience as an elite athlete playing at the top of the game makes him uniquely positioned to understand needs and opportunities of athletes seeking to translate their visions into concrete, outcome-driven programs.
As a senior member of Charter Oak’s leadership team, Justin’s work has spanned from supporting elite athletes as an Impact Coach for the FIFA Player Impact Programme, to leading projects with nonprofit organizations driving access to sport, such as Street Soccer USA.

Justin Morrow played 12 seasons in MLS - MLS Cup Champion and All-Star.
One of the most decorated American defenders of his generation.
And the whole time he was building for what came next.
Most athletes enter pro sports thinking it’s the finish line. Justin entered it thinking it was a gift of time. Time to figure out who he was going to be when the sport was over.
That mindset is what separates the ones who transition well from the ones who don’t.
This conversation is about identity, legacy, and what it actually takes to build a life of purpose after the career that defined you.

They say “shut up and dribble.” We say otherwise. In our new report, @drshaunharper and I find:
🔸94% of pro athletes support using their platforms for racial justice
🔸More than 7 in 10 anticipate speaking out again. “Let Us Speak” centers the voices of 407 pro athletes and affirms what players have been telling us all along: their visibility is influence and they intend to use it.
Read our report to find out what athletes have to say, and what we recommend sports fans, teams, leagues and owners do to support them.

On MLK Day, we’re also focused on how the legacy continues. Creating racially inclusive soccer environments doesn’t happen by accident — it takes intention, education, and shared responsibility from everyone involved in the game. From coaches and clubs to parents and players, progress is built through everyday actions on and off the field.
Today, we’re highlighting resources in the Soccer Forward Resource Hub that support this ongoing work, including practical guidance from Soccer Forward Ambassador @justmorrow on building inclusive soccer environments at every level. Explore the Resource Hub to learn how you can take action. Link in bio!
