i do it for the joy it brings

Not only have the Gaudettes been showing more of their lives, but they have also been engaging with fans on social media. “Well, I think that is something that we’ve recently decided to do,” said Adam. “We’ve been favouriting tweets or trying to do more interacting with fans. I don’t think athletes or celebrities really understand how much people appreciate a like, a favourite, a quick comment, or something like that. Honestly, I’ve gotten nothing but positive results. People really seem to enjoy it, we take a little time out of our day to respond to them or favourite a tweet or give a little chirp here and there.”

I asked Adam if they are going through a media company or a public relations person and he said no, “honestly, it’s easy to do, we’re doing this ourselves. We don’t have a team who’s running our social, so it’s a little more personal. We see what everyone says, we see it all, even though people might not think that we do see it all. So that’s why I try to just give a favourite or a like.” said Adam.

“It feels nice to be able to give some happiness to others,” said Adam. “When I was younger, we didn’t really have social media like it is now but man, when I was younger playing baseball or hockey, if one of the athletes I followed favourited my tweet I’d be through the roof! I would have thought it was so cool and then had to show all my buddies.”

From this conversation with the Gaudette’s, it was clear to see that they are just trying to embrace the professional athlete’s life and use their platform to spread positivity and some fun to their followers and viewers.
