What Makes you Different?

Unlike traditional investors, Athletes contend with:

1. Irregular Cash Flows: Game checks, performance bonuses, and endorsement deals can arrive in lumps requiring careful liquidity planning to bridge off‑season months.
   
   
2. Career Longevity Risk: The average professional sports career lasts under a decade. Planning must account for early transitions and post‑career income needs.
   
   
3. Heightened Tax Complexity: Earnings may be taxed across multiple states, and NIL revenues introduce new tax reporting requirements.
   
   
4. Concentrated Risk: Large payouts or equity stakes in teams/leagues can create undue concentration unless properly hedged and diversified.
   
   
5. Public Scrutiny & Reputation: Financial missteps can damage both net worth and brand value, making discretion and trust paramount.

Freedom Capital Advisor’s Athlete Wealth Management framework addresses these challenges head‑on, allowing us to educate and protect our clients. We believe education is an important step towards financial freedom. It is critical that we gameplan together, much like having the entire team on the same page.

Why Choose Us?

Because we actually understand your world. We have worked with athletes before and are currently working with athletes now, so we know the pressure, the short earning window, the noise from “advisors,” family, and social media, and how fast things can change with one injury or contract.

We do not just plug you into a generic wealth plan. We build a gameplan around how athletes earn, spend, and live. That means planning for uneven income, new deals, travel, and the day the checks slow down. We keep the conversations real and relatable, while using our edge in the finance world to design strategies that fit an athlete’s life, not a corporate brochure.

Our role is part coach, part translator, and part risk manager. We help you understand what you own, why you own it, and how each decision affects your long-term freedom and legacy.

Our Top 3 Tips for Athletes

1. Be Diligent When Hiring Professionals:
   Exercise care when selecting individuals to manage your finances. Prioritize working with those who demonstrate integrity and a proven track record of trustworthiness with a familiarity of working with those in your situation.
   
   
2. Take the Time to Make the Right Decision:
   Rushing important financial choices including contracts can lead to costly mistakes, so it’s essential to weigh your options carefully and seek guidance when needed.
   
   
3. Live Below Your Means:
   Spending everything you make on lifestyle, cars, or things that lose value is a recipe for disaster. We encourage you to keep a meaningful portion of your money invested in assets that can grow and generate income, while keeping your living expenses at a level that gives you margin and flexibility.
