Financial Playbooks for Professional Athletes and Collegiate NIL Players

The team around the team matters. Making sure you have incredible coaches in all areas of your life is of paramount importance. It’s no different for your financial advisor and wealth coach.

Know the Playing Field

Our experienced advisors help manage your earnings and assist our professional athlete clientele in making informed decisions regarding endorsements, sponsorships, and other revenue streams with a goal of financial stability.

Discipline and Consistency Matter

We construct investment portfolios and financial plans that we believe will allow you to accumulate wealth with appropriate risk tolerance at a much earlier stage in life than most.
Understanding the life changes an athlete experiences with sudden wealth accumulation is where other advisors drop the ball. Our team’s experience in collegiate and professional sports sets us apart. We fully understand the need to embrace an athlete’s entire story, including their brand, abilities, and the full spectrum of opportunities arising from their unique position. All of these matter when planning for long-term wealth-building success.

Case Study

Why Work with a Financial Advisor?

You’ve just secured a $1 million signing bonus or endorsement deal, congratulations! It’s tempting to splurge and enjoy the thrill of big spending. However, taking advantage of crucial wealth-building years and thoughtfully allocating your money can transform your life. What if you could supercharge your future by allocating portions of your earnings for top life priorities and build towards future financial security? We coach our clients to create strategic, long-term plans to build wealth so they can focus on winning the big games.

✓

Take advantage of the earning window

An athletic career can create wealth faster than most professions, but the window is often shorter. We help athletes make the most of peak earning years by aligning your spending, saving, investing, and tax strategy with long term financial freedom.

✓

Protect what you build

High income can create opportunity, but it also brings complexity and risk. We help athletes put the right protections in place for cash flow, taxes, liability, family needs, and major life events so wealth is not only created, but preserved.

✓

Turn success today into security tomorrow

A contract, signing bonus, or endorsement deal can be life changing, but only if it is managed with intention. We guide athletes in turning current success into a durable financial foundation that can support life after competition.

✓

Coordinate every financial move with purpose

For professional athletes, financial decisions rarely happen in isolation. From investments and taxes to branding opportunities, home purchases, and family planning, we help bring every part of the picture together into one clear strategy.
