Did you know that a significant number of former professional football players face financial challenges after retiring? According to a Sports Illustrated article from 2020, approximately 50% of these athletes either go bankrupt or experience financial stress within five years of leaving the game. It's a shocking reality for many who have lived a lavish lifestyle and spent beyond their means. This begs the question: where were their agents? Why didn't they prevent this?
At the 11 MAN Agency, we understand the importance of planning for your financial future, especially considering the average length of a football player's career is only 7-8 years. As a young athlete, you're just starting to enjoy the fruits of your labor, and we want to ensure that your financial well-being extends far beyond your playing days. Our expertise lies in maximizing your opportunities beyond the field.
When it comes to managing your income during your playing career, we take a step-by-step approach. We start by assisting you with financial planning to minimize your tax burden, as the more money you make, the more taxes you'll owe. Next, we help you set up a comprehensive savings plan. Finally, we encourage you to work with a trusted financial planner. While we have strategic alliances with selected advisors, you have the freedom to choose your own financial advisor. It's important to note that these advisors are separate from 11 MAN and operate on their own fee structure.
At 11 MAN, we recognize that each client has unique circumstances, goals, and financial needs. Whether it's securing life insurance, making smart investments for the future, or purchasing your first car, our dedicated team is here to offer unwavering support. We understand the vulnerability professional athletes face, and our primary objective is to alleviate any financial concerns so that you can focus on your career. Our aim is to ensure that you have financial security long after your football days, regardless of how long you play in the professional league.

At 11 MAN, we take pride in being one of the few sports agencies that actively supports athletes in planning for life after their sports careers. While every athlete dreams of a long and fulfilling journey in their respective field, we believe it's our responsibility as agents to have open discussions about the realities of the business and the average lifespan of a professional athlete.
Apart from our global presence as a sports agency, 11 MAN stands out as a pioneer in Sports Career Training. We collaborate with professional athletes through specialized training courses designed to prepare them for various career paths in sports. Whether it's becoming a scout, coach, general manager, director of player personnel, sports broadcaster, sports marketer, agent, athletic director, or pursuing a career in sports administration or sport executive roles, we've got you covered.
As a professional athlete, your on-field expertise is invaluable. We recognize the importance of supporting you in exploring the off-field aspects of the sports business, ensuring that your post-playing career is just as thrilling as your time as a professional player. To achieve this goal, it's crucial for you and your agent to strategize and develop your post-career goals starting from now. Together, we can shape a successful and fulfilling future beyond the realm of sports.
