Empowering pro athletes
While your college and pro coaches help you make the most of your athletic talent and ability, we are here to help you manage the financial rewards that come with a pro career. We know how to work within the special circumstances of professional athletes.
We want you to see The Seiler Group as your financial quarterback, here to help you make informed and confident financial decisions throughout your life and career. We place a high value on a relationship based on integrity, accountability and an in-depth understanding of your goals and needs.
With our combination of experience and skill, we can deliver tailored investment strategies designed to help you manage and preserve your wealth.
While you’re still in college
We help student-athletes navigate the name, image and likeness policy that allows Division I, II and III student-athletes to be compensated for having their name, image and likeness used. We then help them manage and invest their earnings.
Your playing career
Before you are even drafted, we will be hard at work to help you develop good financial habits, teaching you about budgeting, the prudent use of credit and being mindful of spending habits and expenses – even down to the basic tools in helping you set up and manage checking and savings accounts.
The reality is a pro career, on average, lasts between three and seven years, so you need a financial plan designed to provide post-career income throughout your life. You must also consider the “what if” scenarios, because you never know if you will be derailed by an injury or if your career as a professional athlete will come to an end.
That’s why it is crucial to have an experienced financial team that specializes in serving professional athletes on your side – to know the challenges you face and, most importantly, to have the knowledge and experience to properly address them.
Tom Seiler is not a typical financial advisor watching just investment account statements, but rather he is someone who is involved and by your side for all of the financial details – the million things that are in motion at the same time, all subject to upheaval and change with the next contract and new season.
In fact, this is how the entire Seiler team is markedly different. It’s our level of skin in the game – your game, your life. We’ll always be involved and work with you to help you make the best financial decisions for all of it.
We’re not just here to help manage the short game but the long game of how your financial actions and habits today will help you establish your lifestyle for the future. We’re here to provide financial counsel for matters you may not even have considered, related to the dynamic life you live – like a new contract landing you in a new city and helping you with the details of selling your home and buying a new one, looking for the best loan rate and addressing all moving expenses.
We can collaborate with your agent to review any potential contract changes and evaluate potential income from other sources, such as endorsements and promotional appearances. Having such a connected and savvy team as The Seiler Group by your side can help you make the right play when it’s go time.
Your post-playing career
Once your pro career is over, you still have a lot of living to do. What you want to do next is wide open and up to you, perhaps owning a business, running a charitable foundation, engaging in promotional activities and sponsorships or even pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.
We will provide the same prudent financial guidance to your new opportunities that we did during your playing career. It’s our lifetime commitment to you and your financial well-being.
