The need for athletes to think and plan judiciously around their finances throughout their careers is critical. But unfortunately that isn’t always the case. 78% of professional athletes go broke after 3 years of retirement. Inspired by ESPN's 30 for 30 Broke Documentary and what he saw missing in the broader sports ecosystem, Amobi Okugo stepped in to disrupt how financial literacy would be introduced, taught, and practiced across athletes.
