Social media allows engaging athletes to stay connected to their fans and give insight into their personal lives, training regimens and charity work. It’s no surprise that many athletes have taken well to many social media sites.
This past year was quite a period of memories for many athletes. The use of Instagram amongst athletes has been especially noted since the 2012 Summer Olympics. Futbol (soccer) players have had a lot of popularity in regards to Twitter and many NBA stars have gained quite a few fans on Instagram since London. The athletes in our top five are also known to engage with their followers on some topics.
So let’s bring in the New Year by taking a look at some of the most popular athletes on twitter and Instagram. They’re sure to make more of a social media impact in 2014.
Enjoy the list and take a peek at these athletes’ tweets and photos.

The Most Engaging Athletes on Twitter AND Instagram
Sure it’s great to have a strong presence on Twitter. And there’s nothing wrong with having a strong following on Instagram. But who is proving to reign supreme on both social media platforms? Check out the most engaging athletes below.
Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano)
The Real Madrid winger certainly has quite a following on twitter, with 23,544,133 followers to be exact. The soccer player often tweets photos of himself during his personal time as well as game-time/training photos.
One of his last tweets of 2013 was mentioned for his unique way of ending the year. The Soccer superstar also has nearly 69 million followers on Facebook. He has nearly 1 billion fans between Twitter and Facebook. To put that into perspective, about 14% of the world’s population (at least those with access to social networking and internet) are fans of Ronaldo!
On Instagram, the Portuguese megastar blends professionally taken action shots with candid pics snapped around the Real Madrid training ground.
