A second act with dignity.
Most pro careers end before forty — we design retirement plans, transition budgets, and second-act capital in advance.
Planned years in advance, not reacted to
Most pro careers end before forty, often abruptly due to injury rather than on a planned schedule — which means the transition typically has to be modeled years ahead, while the athlete is still earning.
The same dignity as the first act
We design retirement plans, transition budgets, and second-act capital reserves so what comes next has the same dignity as what came first.
What’s included.
- Career-end transition modeling, built years before the transition happens
- Second-career capital reserves, set apart from everyday spending
- Retirement and deferred-comp coordination across every source
- Brand and licensing income carried into the plan for what comes next
- Insurance for career-ending injury, in place while you're still active
How it works.
Build the transition budget
Your budget for after the career doesn't assume peak-earning-year income continues.
Reserve second-act capital
Capital set aside for a next career or venture sits apart from everyday living expenses.
Coordinate ongoing income
Brand and licensing income that continues after the career carries forward into the plan.
Answers from the practice.
When should post-career planning start?
During active playing years, not after a contract isn't renewed. Athletes who start this planning while still earning typically have more options than those who wait until the career has already ended.
What is a transition budget?
A spending plan for the period after a career ends that doesn't assume peak-earning-year income continues — built in advance so the shift in income doesn't require reacting under pressure.
Is post-career planning right for my situation?
It fits athletes who are still earning and want what comes after designed in advance — and families who want the transition modeled before it's forced. A first conversation is how we find out — observations are shared, decisions stay yours.
What happens after I reach out about post-career planning?
We start with a conversation about the career so far and what you want after it. We review contracts, savings, and obligations, and lay out a transition picture that doesn't assume peak-year income continues.
