Episode notes

70% of professional athletes face divorce after retirement.

In an industry where careers are short but earnings are high, your greatest opponent isn't on the field, it’s the legal and financial risks that threaten your wealth.

In this episode, we sit down with Eido Walny and do a deep dive into the essential strategies every athlete needs to shield their assets from high-stakes litigation, divorce, and financial mismanagement.

We discuss:

  • The 70% Statistic: Why the post retirement transition is so volatile and how to beat the odds.
  • The "Fortress" Strategy: How to structure your assets so they are legally out of reach.
  • Prenups and Beyond: Protecting your family legacy before the first whistle blows.
  • Common Pitfalls: The biggest mistakes athletes make when they start seeing the "big checks."

Whether you’re a rookie signing your first deal or a veteran planning your exit strategy, this episode is your playbook for long-term financial victory.
