Did you know …

There is a 72% chance that you as a pro athlete will go broke or face serious financial distress 2 to 5 years after retiring from your sport ?!

Here are some of the major reasons (in no particular order):

* Elaborate spending 

*Bad financial advice

* Child support / Alimony

* Buying for friends and family

* Emotional, high-risk investments

* Theft

* Off the court/field lawsuits

* Excessive gambling

This number is staggering but COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE with the proper financial coaching, planning,

& Long-term investment strategies.  With the correct investment diversity, asset protection and tax strategy there is no reason you shouldn’t turn your career earnings into GENERATIONAL WEALTH!  Sports Wealth
