This is from deep thoughts. Professionalism doesn't just end on the pitch, it includes planning for the future.
A lot of athletes never had good counsel and end up going broke once they retire. Only a handful have survived outside their fame.
I think though, the narrative is becoming better with more awareness among athletes and how they can combine side gigs and even invest their money.
We should get to see lesser depression cases in the future as a result of athletes going broke.
Well written. 👏
