This week, PAC is hosting a conference for retired NBA, NFL and MLB players. The conference is a safe space for these individuals, and PAC is connecting the athletes with resources in finance, health, educational opportunities and business.
When professional athletes head to the big leagues, it’s easy to picture a world of fast cars, big homes, and flashy new wardrobes – but many fail to consider what happens after their athletic careers are over.
NFL players are grappling with a complex new reality. They’re aware of the money being bet on every catch, run and touchdown and generally think it’s good for the league’s (and thus their own) financial health. But they’re also—if you can say this about a professional football player—scared on a personal level and generally freaked out about running afoul of league rules.
For many professional athletes, retirement can be a stressful road to navigate. According to one former MLB all-star, the league is doing little to help players manage their sudden wealth.
Pro Athlete Community visits the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square. By delivering elite-level education, experiences, mentorship, and community, PAC’s mission is to empower professional athletes to relentlessly pursue what’s next.
In honor of the occasion, Chip Paucek, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, rings the Opening Bell.
