When we think about the lives of professional athletes, fame, success, extravagant lifestyles and glorious athletic achievements come to mind. Little attention is paid to personal growth and development, skill-enhancement and financial stability beyond their sports years. To lead a meaningful and financially sustainable life, an athlete needs to invest time and effort to build the necessary foundations.
It is evident that athletes who continuously invest in themselves can achieve personal growth and development, which can consequently lead to long-term financial stability and success across different areas of life. Personal growth translates into athletes enhancing their skills, qualities and personality traits, including but not limited to discipline, perseverance, flexibility and most importantly a growth mindset. These characteristics can be seen as essential tools for achieving their goals not only in terms of sports but also in terms of finances. Expanding their skillset through personal development strategies can also help with athletes’ financial literacy, financial decision-making and potentially income diversification; leading to business success. Finally, personal growth can also be key in their personal brand development, further encouraging endorsement and sponsorship potential, through the image they portray to the public.
Sponsorships and endorsements have evolved into an integral part of modern-day sports. Counterintuitively, they developed almost hand-in-hand with the sport industry itself over the course of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, sponsors have become a vital part of the industry and the flow of money into the veins of sports, form the lion’s share of the industry’s turnover. For athletes, the funds they secure for endorsements and from sponsors constitute an important part of their income. In some cases, the monetary rewards from such activities far surpass their base salaries; that is, the contracts with their club. During his second spell at Manchester United in 2021, Cristiano Ronaldo was making more money from his sponsors – taking home around £36 million – than from his very generous salary from the Red Devils (around £550,000 pw).
