Sport Legacy Information

Sport Legacy specializes in real estate projects, start-up investments, personal branding and personal development for (former) sport athletes. We take a personalized approach to help our clients establish a legacy that will last beyond their sports career. Sport athletes live a great life. Everything is being taken care of for them during their career, they are being adored by many and businesses want them to endorse their organization, product or service. But what happens after the athletes sports career is over? A 2013 XPro research article showed that 65% of soccer players in the English Premier League are bankrupt five years after their career has ended. And according to a 2009 Sports Illustrated article, 78% of National Football League (NFL) players are either bankrupt or are under financial stress within two years of retirement and an estimated 60% of National Basketball Association (NBA) players go bankrupt within five years after leaving their sport. We think this is tragic and avoidable as the repercussions of bankruptcy go deeper than just financial stress as bankrupt athletes often fight mental depressions at the same time. Sport Legacy's mission is to guide athletes in establishing a secondary career, outside of their respective sport, making them aware of their entrepreneurial potential. A career, not build around the athlete as a sportsperson, but as an entrepreneur who sees potential outside sports and seizes the right opportunities when they arise. We guide them in making the right investments, building a personal brand as an entrepreneur and work on their personal development. Sport Legacy is the firm to help athletes break free from the 'sport athlete' label by establishing a life after sports.
