Athletes Born Between July 16th through July 22nd

July. The first full month of summer.

When I started looking for a list of Athlete’s birthdays imagine my surprise when I came cross an interesting fact. Finding a full, good list of athlete’s birthdays is more difficult than you would think. Especially in the age of Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram it should be an easier task, right? Well, it wasn’t.

Most lists I found were famous actors/actresses; along with “youtubers” and “instagram” famous people. When I googled “athlete birthdays” I usually found a top 10 or 15 list. That’s cool. Except, every list is practically the same. Boring.

We started with the month of June. You can check those lists here:

Here are the other lists of athletes born during July.
