As written by Ryan March and directed by Brandy Wille, Citizen Athlete features plenty of Monster Energy athletes, including Kaillie Humphries, Elana Meyers-Taylor and Aja Evans; the journeys of these and other athletes is chronicled within the documentary. One of the star athletes who participated within Citizen Athlete was Willie Gault. Gault played 11 seasons in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl as part of the legendary Chicago Bears' 1985 squad. Prior to turning pro, Gault had qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team as a track & field athlete. He later made the 1988 Winter Olympics bobsledding team as an alternate. Gault has since been inducted into multiple athletics-related Hall Of Fame institutions and has also found success as an actor.
