Wealth Planning for Professional Athletes

A career in sports is intense, high-earningโ€”and often short. At Global Advisers, we help athletes turn peak-earning years into long-term wealth, with planning that spans contracts, endorsements, taxes, and life after the game.

Build With a Team That Understands Business

Planning for Contracts, Endorsements & Life After Sports

Whether youโ€™re on a rookie deal or negotiating your next extension, we help you build a comprehensive financial plan that supports both your career and life after sports. Our planning includes deal modeling, cash flow forecasting, and strategic investment planning.

When the season endsโ€”for the year or foreverโ€”we help you transition smoothly into your next chapter, with wealth that supports your goals.

Why Athletes Need Specialized Financial Planning

Professional athletes face compressed earning windows, inconsistent income, and intense public scrutiny. Without specialized financial guidance, wealth can erode quicklyโ€”through taxes, poor investments, or unplanned lifestyle inflation.

Global Advisers works with athletes to protect current earnings, create durable income streams, and align every financial move with long-term independence.

Optimize Taxes on Active and Passive Income

Athletes often face complex tax exposure: multi-state games, international income, and endorsement deals with varying structures. We coordinate with your legal and tax teams to minimize liabilities and avoid surprises.

  • Jock tax and state-by-state income planning
  • Entity setup for endorsement and brand income
  • CPA collaboration to manage year-round tax strategy

Build Long-Term Wealth on a Short-Term Timeline

Earnings may peak earlyโ€”but wealth should last a lifetime. We help you make strategic decisions around investment, spending, and liquidity while your career is thriving. After retirement, we support your transition with personalized cash flow, business planning, and legacy structuring.

  • Customized portfolios based on risk and career stage
  • Investment diversification beyond sports income
  • Post-career income generation and liquidity strategy

While we do not provide legal services, we collaborate with your attorneys to help ensure your financial strategies reflect your goals.

Protect Assets and Manage Risk

Public profiles and physical risk require advanced protection strategies. We help you shield your assets through legal structuring, insurance planning, and coordinated estate management.

  • Asset protection trust and entity strategy
  • Disability and career-ending injury insurance guidance
  • Legacy, family, and charitable wealth planning

Supporting Your Careerโ€”and What Comes After

FAQ for Professional Athletes

How do I create a legacy beyond my sports career?2025-07-06T05:04:54-04:00

What happens to my financial plan if I get injured or retire early?2025-07-06T05:04:40-04:00

Injury risk makes early exit planning essential. We stress-test your financial plan against career-ending scenarios, build multiple income pathways, and ensure your long-term goals remain achievable under various outcomes.

How can I protect my wealth from lawsuits or bad investments?2025-07-06T05:04:31-04:00

High visibility comes with increased risk. We help set up asset protection structures such as LLCs, trusts, and insurance coverage to safeguard your wealth from litigation, liability, or predatory deals.

Whatโ€™s the best way to handle endorsements and image rights income?2025-07-06T05:06:04-04:00

Endorsement deals and image licensing can create complex income streams across multiple jurisdictions. We coordinate with legal and tax professionals to ensure proper structuring, reporting, and protection of your intellectual property and personal brand.

How do I manage a large income earned over a short career span?2025-07-06T05:04:02-04:00

Athletes often earn the majority of their lifetime income within a few intense years. We help structure that income into long-term wealth through budgeting, investment strategies, and tax-efficient savings vehicles to extend financial security far beyond your playing years.
