DOES BEING AN ATHLETE INVESTOR START IN HIGH SCHOOL!??

The simple answer to that question is NO! Being an Athlete Investor is more about mindset than anything else and that begins as early as HS..


Here is an example of what an ATHLETE INVESTOR looks like at every level!


HS ATHLETE INVESTOR

  1. Focused on sport and putting in extra work.. mandatory vs necessary to be best

  2. Understands role school plays in reaching goals so handles business there

  3. Thinks of ways to capitalize on NIL

  4. May work part-time or be diligent in saving allowance money

A common quote Athletes have been saying about swag lately is, “It's not on me, it's in me”. Well, in regards to being an Athlete Investor, I agree with the phrase, “It's in you not on you”. This means that "The Athlete Investor" mindset is something you have to embody… it's beginning with the end in mind and understanding that it's your responsibility to make sure you become as successful as possible of course in your sport but also in your pursuit of financial freedom!


Best,

DK ✌️💸
