Athlete Career Killers™ Author David L. Brown, Endorses Gameplan Wealth

Oct. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- You're an athlete -- you're wealthy -- now what?

You worked hard to get to the professional level. You earned that opportunity and the money that comes with it.

Now you must work even harder to protect and keep it!

"I recently had the fortunate opportunity to speak with Mike Cavers at length. Mike is President of GamePlan Wealth," author David L. Brown said. "Mike impressed me with his tremendous knowledge, wisdom, experience, and passion about helping professional athletes face the many financial and career challenges that consistently come their way, whether it's a guy making millions of dollars a year, or not."

GamePlan's ultimate goal is to revolutionize professional sport and put it in the hands of the athlete. They provide current athletes with an unbiased and honest support team made up of industry specialists and former professional athletes that will guide you in making informed decisions during your career and help you plan for life after sports.

There’s a perfect storm of inexperience, ignorance, peer pressure, and multi-million dollar contracts that makes it difficult for a professional athlete to hold onto wealth long-term. They need honest, smart financial guidance just like everyone else — perhaps more so.

That's where GamePlan Wealth can make a positive difference.

Did You Know?...

*Athletes have a different set of financial challenges from, say, entertainers. Why? Because there is a far shorter "peak earnings period" in sport than in any other profession. Entertainers can perform and earn a good living well into their senior citizen years! Not so for professional athletes.

*According to the NFL Player's Association, 78% of NFL athletes are in financial dire straits two years after retirement!

*According to the NBA, 60% of NBA athletes go broke five years after retirement!

*Many Major League Baseball players show a propensity for losing all their hard-earned money, regardless of the amount they make during their careers!

The truth is — if an athlete doesn’t manage his money well during his playing career, he’ll be left with dealing with the consequences of not having enough money after retirement from the game.

GamePlan Wealth can help athletes avoid the many financial and career pitfalls awaiting them.
