Becoming a Sportzine Publisher is a great opportunity for former college athletes and retired professional athletes.  They can use their experience as a team leader to take their place as a community leader.

College and pro athletes have a unique insider's understanding of the trends in school district budget cuts, the passion and pride of high school and youth sports, and, the culture and challenges of booster club fundraising.  They...

• Have a winning attitude and will do what it takes to succeed
• "Get” the importance of our mission
• Are looking for ways to give back to the communities that supported them
• Can open doors to state associations, professional teams, sponsors & other partners
• Can provide desirable autographed memorabilia for GR8auction items.

The average career in the NFL is 3.5 years and even for the stars, their career is typically over by age 33.  There is a lot of life ahead of theses athletes.  I read in several places that 78% of pro football players are bankrupt, divorced or unemployed two years after leaving the game.

As Sportzine publishers former college and pro players may find a perfect career and business of their own.  In both cases, they should have their first real job experience under their belt but the disciplines and Sportzine tools and guidance can give them the structure they need to succeed.  Their own Sportzine could be become their avenue to give back, stay in the public eye and use their celebrity to promote their own business.

Specifically for pro athletes, they can find a full time career option or a semi-active owner option depending on income requirements and time commitment levels.  Many retiring athletes have financial resources and don’t want a 9-5 work day but are open to a career where they can travel and spend time with their families but still generate enough income to protect their nest egg. 

And active or retired athletes might place their sportzine franchsie inside teir foundation as a way to give back and a way to generate cash for the foundation.  Read the blog on managing a Sportzine as a non-profit foundation.

Do your homework, ask the tough questions, and if you are a proven performer with the courage to be first, we will help you win big.  It's time to Change the Game...  Join the Sportzine team.
