Book Cover & Preview Text
Don’t you hate working with professional athletes? Aren’t they all young, spoiled and grossly over paid? They never return phone calls? I bet they take up all your time? Don’t they expect everyone to accommodate them? Don’t most of them eventually go bankrupt? Random people come up to me all the time asking these questions and end the barrage of noise with usually a very simple question “why do you want to work with professional athletes? I heard they are difficult clients?” I simply answer that they need us. There are not enough qualified advisers helping athletes navigate their financial journey. As a lawyer and partner in a successful consulting firm, I deal with sophisticated business owners on a daily basis who are very engaged in their financial and business planning needs. However, representing professional athlete’s has blessed me with some of my most rewarding and yet frustrating client experiences to date.
