Debra Russell, NJ-Based, Certified Business Coach, works privately with professional athletes to develop business practices, financial and emotional intelligence skills and build a successful, sustainable and life-long career.
Look, these statistics aren’t meant to scare you. They’re meant to wake you up.
Because sadly they’re true (though the exact numbers vary a bit depending on the sport and length of career).
You have worked so hard to get to where you are now, living your dream as a professional athlete.
And its about more than the money – it’s about:
- Your impact in your sport.
- The life you’re making for your family.
- And the difference you make in your community.
It’s about your legacy
Be Exceptional
You’ve worked your whole life to reach the top of your game. But your career as a professional athlete is about a lot more than what you do on the field.
And it requires a very different skill set to avoid becoming just another statistic – skills that you likely won’t learn from your agent, manager or even your financial adviser.
How can you be the exception?
What will empower you to be one of the 20% who succeeds on the field, off the field and after you leave your sport?
Be the Business
Just like your athletic coaches teach you the skills you need to be the best in your sport, the right business coach will give you the skills to:
- Build your brand
- Work with sponsors and companies
- Promote yourself and your causes
- Manage your team
- Manage your time
- Manage your money and your business
- and more
Work with the Best
Whether you’re a rookie, a seasoned player or transitioning out of your sport – working with an elite business coach can make your career more successful and your transition after sport smoother.
When you work with Debra, she:
- Makes YOUR agenda her priority
- Empowers YOU to be the CEO of your career and business
- Teaches you the business skills to create your own team, dedicated to YOUR SUCCESS on and off the field
- Encourages you to apply the skills that created your success on the field to the rest of your life
- Helps you design your transition, so that it’s a step onto a well established road, NOT a leap off a cliff into the unknown
You’ve worked your whole life to get where you are. Debra will help you keep on winning, long after you leave the game.
Debra has a knack for making your goals as important to her as they are to you. She sees forests where you might only see trees. This enables her to work her expertise in structure, process and organization into the essence of your creativity so that it can reach the places you imagined, and beyond.
Debra helped me see what’s really important when trying to run a business.
I started working with Debra before I launched my business–it was the best decision I could have made! Thanks to her help, my business is already very successful!
The coaching relationship is fully confidential. Even the fact that you are working with Debra is held in the strictest confidence.
These testimonials are given with the understanding that to this extent, confidentiality is set aside.
