Why Financial Planning is Important for Professional Athletes
Professional athletes often earn a high income, but their careers are typically short-lived. This means that they need to carefully plan for their financial future so that they can have a secure retirement and provide for their families.
Here are some of the key reasons why financial planning is important for professional athletes:
Short career spans. The average professional sports career lasts only about 3.5 years. This means that athletes need to make the most of their earnings during their playing years in order to have a comfortable financial future.
