These Pro Athletes Need New Financial Advice. Why? Here's Why...

Sports Illustrated reports that 78% of NFL players are bankrupt or in financial ruin within 2 years of retiring; 60% of NBA players are broke within 5 years of retiring. Whatever these athletes are doing, up to today, is completing failing them.

Seattle, Washington (I-Newswire) April 7, 2011 - Sports Illustrated reports that 78% of NFL players are bankrupt or in financial ruin within 2 years of retiring. 60% of NBA players are broke within 5 years of retiring, www.proathletedirect.com/sportsillustratedstats.

Whatever these athletes are doing, up to this moment, is completing failing them. This financial pandemic not only impacts the athletes lives, but impacts the lives of the spouses, children and future generations to come.

What is a possible solution to this financial pandemic?
These athletes need dramatically improved financial direction, right now or the failing numbers will continue to exist. One solution to this is removing the failing financial professionals advising them, while replacing them with "best in class" financial advisors and professionals who are experts in enabling these athletes to plan for the short term and long term for life after they are done playing their sport; a time when, most likely, they have completed their highest income earning years.

How recently launched Pro Athlete Direct™ is part of the solution?
Pro Athlete Direct™, www.proathletedirect.com, enables financial advisors/professionals, service providers and non-profits to instantly connect with +6,200 professional athletes and their sports agents, www.proathletedirect.com/solutions.

"For any relationship to begin there has to be a connection," founder Brian Ouellette states. "We enable this to occur as we provide detailed information that enable users to connect, network and collaborate with pro athletes and their agents to create relationships and add them as clients, customers, spokespeople and advocates. Feedback from our users continues to be, "I cannot believe all the data we access to within this database," www.proathletedirect.com/stats

Competition, something these athletes are driven by, amongst service providers can enable the best in class advisors and service providers to rise to the top, while moving the failing advisors to the side. Utilizing the database creates competition, thus creating the possibility for dramatically improved financial and life planning to occur for these professional athletes; improving the lives of the athletes, their spouses, children and future generations to come.
