The Challenges of Big League Money - Early Career

Breaking into the big leagues is by far the biggest challenge you'll ever face as a baseball player. But the biggest challenge once you get there? Finances. Now is the time to learn how to manage your money in a way that prepares you for the eventual transition out of the game and into your next chapter of life.

Financial advisors Pete Bush and Jeff Reboulet have compiled the top ten financial challenges for professional players in the early part of their career. Their collective thirty years of experience in and around the game and advising players at the highest level provides this unique and invaluable perspective on planning your financial future from the moment you sign your first contract. Without knowing where to turn, many players look to parents, agents, or local financial advisors for help. Though these individuals are more often than not looking out for the player's best interest, few of them possess the knowledge, financial acumen, or experience to properly advise players on their specialized circumstances.

Making it to the big leagues not only takes a lot of discipline but also brings big financial responsibility along with it. Don't put it off one more day-read this book now, and educate yourself about how to make the most of the financial resources your career might provide.
