Professional Athletes

CFO and Family Officer for Professional Athletes

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.

3 levels of
financial failure

Based on our previous experiences, the 3 levels of financial failure for professional athletes are:

  • Education: Not doing research or learning more in order to ask appropriate questions about their finances
  • Laziness: Not applying information learned or potential warning signs on the financial advisors they're working with
  • Ignorance and/or Arrogance: Choosing a financial advisor based on another teammate's recommendation, ignoring previous complaints and lawsuits, and not researching their background

Current Financial Advisor
The majority of financial advisors working with professional athletes are often no more than glorified salespeople. Although they may call themselves “fiduciaries,” their licenses and affiliations say otherwise as most financial advisors are affiliated with a bank, broker-dealer, or insurance company which creates a conflict of interest. Professional athletes often lack the advanced knowledge to ask the appropriate questions and will end up paying higher fees, unnecessary commissions, are sold illiquid investments, and possibly scammed.
