Retirement Income Planning

Income That Outlasts Your Career.

A retirement income plan built around your career stage — not a generic timeline that starts the day you stop playing.

Income for Life

Retirement Planning That Starts Long Before Retirement

For professional athletes, planning for retirement comes with its own set of complexities, but with our help, it becomes manageable. We remove the complexity from retirement preparation by crafting a tailored strategy — your retirement income plan — developed around your current financial status, career phase (active or retired), lifestyle, family commitments, and future ambitions. That plan is built around three opportunities: protecting the assets you've already earned before they're at risk, short-term income strategies that bridge contract years, off-seasons, and injury gaps, and long-term salary deferral plans that structure future income so it lasts well past the final game.


Our holistic approach is designed to help ensure that your retirement funds sustain you for the long haul.

"Your game has an expiration date. Your income plan doesn't have to."

"The average NFL career lasts just 3.3 years."

A career this short means the income window is short too — which is exactly why a retirement income plan can't wait until the deals stop coming in.

A Plan That Grows With Your Career

Your retirement income plan isn't something we set once and leave alone — it's reviewed and adjusted as your career, income, and family situation change, whether you're two years into your first contract or two years removed from your last game.
