Professional athletes spend the majority of their careers planning. They plan workout schedules, training sessions, even the calories they consume. During a game, they work with the coach to formulate the best plan against the opposing team. And they plan to prevent or overcome potential setbacks such as injuries. Their careers allow them to acquire all of the necessary skills they need to tackle their financial futures in ways that non-athletes may not know.

Professional athletes learn to overcome setbacks, problem-solving, goal attaining and all the strategizing that goes into it, initiative, and teamwork.
