Our
Business Focus: (con't)
At Sports
Professionals, we also recognize that during your
transition, you and your families emotions will
run high, and low (like an emotional roller coaster).
In some cases, finances will not be an issue and
you will have time to sort things out for yourself.
For others who have not been in the league long,
or who played in a league that paid minimal wages
(ie. MLS), finances will also be a concern. Either
way, a new career game plan and decisive strategy
is needed for you, your family, and your future,
to ease the fears of the moment, and help you manage
your expectations. At SPI, we designed our training
and services to address these concerns.
Finally,
our transition approach is intended to follow an
athlete throughout his or her working life, not
just at the moment of separation from his or her
sport. While there are specific tools and techniques
that need to be embraced early on in an athletes
transition, there are also new tools and new strategies
that will be needed to succeed after 5 years, 10
years, and 20 years of working in a new profession
or business. Our experience with athletes is they
are used to winning, and setting big goals. It would
be nice to know that you have a resource to go to,
a partner - an executive coach along the way, as
you begin this new “career journey”. In
time, you will also have the opportunity to become
the coach for other rookie’s making the transition.
