Collegiate Athletes – Module 10- Career Development, Entrepreneurship and Business Fundamentals

Athletes should be ready and prepared to do something meaningful and financially sustainable during their after-sports days, whether that is when they finish college or when they will be retiring from a professional sports career.  If athletes go professional, hopefully it will be a long and successful career, but every day they need to remember that a sports career has an expiration date and that they need to work towards preparing for life after sports from day one.  The module is divided into ten separate sessions with each session addressing a key area of the module’s theme.
