Module Key Topic

This module introduces the financial and life skills that collegiate athletes will acquire through the program, which will provide them with the necessary tools to design, implement, and project-manage their desired life plan. Furthermore, this module outlines the hard realities faced by athletes who do not prepare and do not act in a way that will safeguard their financial future. It explains how and why athletes become financially vulnerable and reminds student-athletes of the steps they need to take to create their life plans and safeguard their financial future.

Collegiate athletes will have to deal with several challenges and issues during their college life, including things that other students do not have to cope with. At the same time, they rarely get any sympathy from their peers since they are viewed as some of the most privileged people on campus. Thus, It is important to have a clear idea about where these challenges lie, their shape, and nature to avoid getting blind-sided. The module is divided into nine separate sessions with each session addressing a key area of the module’s theme.
