About the Book

In recent years, the devastating financial troubles of professional athletes have been well documented. Though many receive high paying contracts that are coveted by most, several athletes find themselves without money and much of a future past their playing days. Business Strategy Expert, Chris "Fish" Fisher, has identified one of the main causes to this growing epidemic, professional sports do not make true millionaires. "Warning: Professional Sports Don't Make Millionaires" futures the story of a rookie super star athlete, Dennis Ware, who recently was drafted to play professional basketball. For years, Dennis has dreamed of making it big as a professional athlete. Now that his dream is finally here, he enters a new lifestyle that he finds himself unprepared for. Joining Dennis on this journey is teammate turned mentor, Lance Pearson. Lance was fortunate enough to receive excellent guidance from wise mentors in the past. The many lessons he learned has allowed him to not only experience an iconic playing career, but also look forward to life after sports. Lance finds himself paying it forward by teaching Dennis critical lessons on how to excel in his playing career by incorporating a few proven business strategies to his game plan. Some of these lessons include The Millionaire Playbook: What They Do That Most Don't; How to bring V.A.L.U.E. to your Business Plan; Conquering the Traps of the Industry; Ballin' on a Budget: 12 Rules to Help You Excel at Budgeting; 10 Steps to Building a Power Team You can Trust; Developing a Solid Exit Strategy; And More. Join Dennis and Lance on this journey to find out if the rookie decides to accept or reject the coaching from the veteran player.
