From Philly to Polo: The Kareem Rosser Story

Send us a text


Outside The Boards is thrilled to announce the release of Season
One of our newly minted podcast, presented in collaboration with
Global Polo TV. Our second guest on this podcast journey is none
other than Kareem Rosser—an extraordinary individual who hails
from the most unexpected of backgrounds and has become an
outstanding ambassador for the world of polo.

Kareem's remarkable journey began in West Philadelphia, a story
akin to Cinderella's, where his humble roots in the "Work to
Ride" program led him to the world of polo. Through unwavering
determination, he overcame adversity, shattered barriers, and
emerged as a contemporary polo icon.

Within the polo community, Kareem is already a widely recognized
figure, boasting a decorated youth career with victories in the
2011 Interscholastic Championships and the 2015 Intercollegiate
Championships. Today, as a Colorado State University graduate, he
has traversed the globe, representing the sport, and serves as a
global ambassador for the Work to Ride organization. Furthermore,
he has graced the pages as a model for Ralph Lauren Polo and is
set to release his memoir, "Crossing The Line," scheduled to hit
shelves this February.

Kareem's story is one that weaves together elements of heartbreak
and triumph. From an early age, he shouldered responsibilities
beyond his years, guided by the mentorship of Lezlie Hiner's
"Work To Ride" program. It was through this program that Kareem
discovered polo, a sport where he excelled, equipping him with
the tools and inspiration to achieve success, both in the saddle
and in life.
