Acerca de esta escucha
It's more than a game; it's more than money; it's your life!
This audiobook will help aspiring professional athletes and their families avoid the curse that oftentimes comes with the professional sports culture.
Why do so many NFL and NBA athletes struggle to lead productive, successful lives when they retire? Why do they invest in their talent but not their life? Don’t they know their playing days have an expiration date?
The bigger question is: Why don’t college athletes prepare to be professionals like they prepare to be professional athletes? Why do they repeat their predecessors’ mistakes? Isn’t that insanity?
By studying this playbook, aspiring and rookie NBA and NFL athletes will be able to create a blueprint to prepare them to navigate the world of professional sports and successfully transition into the final stage of their lives. This playbook takes a proactive approach in addressing the common issues that plague athletes, enabling them to move forward strategically and with purpose.
This is your opportunity to change your thinking so you can change the game! By listening to this audiobook, you will give yourself a better shot at surviving the lights!

Do you find yourself worrying about what you’re going to do once you get out of college? 70 percent of college graduates enter the workforce with over $30,000 in debt. But this doesn't have to be you. You don't have to become part of yet another statistic. Being financially independent as you walk off that graduation stage is not a far-fetched fantasy. This is not a reality reserved solely for those who have very wealthy parents. You can achieve financial success even while in school, and can carry this forward with you throughout the rest of your life.

You could blame the pandemic or the collapse of the economy, but blaming something you can’t control only hurts your peace of mind.

Surveys have consistently found that saving for a child’s college education is the top money concern for parents in the US, with over 70 percent saying they’re worried about being able to pay for their child’s education.

The short answer is no - there’s really no need.

Dream killers are financial and life issues that prevent us from living life to the fullest and achieving our dreams. They include financial issues such as inflation, taxes, and market risk and life issues such as premature death, job loss, and fear. Our success or failure in achieving our goals and dreams are often dependent on how we battle these dream killers. But in today’s modern economy, life is busy and financial issues can be confusing.

An interesting listen
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
So, I'm no professional athlete, so I won't pretend to be able to speak to whether or not this book would really be helpful to them. What I will say is that it gave me some interesting insight into what professional athletes deal with. A lot of the concepts the author talks about seemed very straightforward to me, but I could see how someone "blinded" by their sudden fame and fortune may not think about. The narration is well done and the information is presented in a logical wawy. The piece I found most interesting is the lack of planning many professional athletes have for their lives after they aren't playing anymore.
