Why do professional athletes need better financial education?​

​

The truth of financial struggles among professional athletes is alarming. Despite their high salaries and luxurious lifestyles, a considerable number of athletes are confronted with financial difficulties, even bankruptcy, after their careers have run their course. According to a 2009 Sports Illustrated article, 78% of NFL players find themselves bankrupt or under financial stress within two years of retirement. A 2015 ESPN report unveiled that 60% of NBA players also end up broke within five years of leaving the league.
