KB Succession Planning
Many call it Post Career Transitioning. We refer to it as Succession Planning because we believe that long-term business
and career planning for the professional athlete must start on day one. The professional athlete has a small
but significant window to lay down a strong foundation for a successful enterprise or prosperous post-sports career.
As athletic performance peaks, so do the business opportunities, media exposure, and publicity. Preparation, knowledge,
and resources are critical in being able to recognize and seize these long-term business and career opportunities
as they are presented. However, in the process of reaching and sustaining peak performance, most athletes
have little time and resources to focus beyond conditioning. Without the proper support, many athletes will only
shift their focus from athletic conditioning to long-term career planning upon realizing that the end of their sports
career is near. As a result, opportunities are missed, and the transition becomes more challenging and uncertain.
KB Sports Management works with our athletes from day one to ensure that a long term career plan is in place. We give our athletes the knowledge and resources they need to take advantage of business and career opportunities when they are greatest. Our succession team working in parallel with the athlete’s conditioning program ensures that strong athletic performance serves as a springboard to long-term career success.
