A qualification that is increasingly necessary for elite athletes to keep what they have achieved with sacrifice in their careers"

There are several consulting firms that provide really worrying data on the mismanagement of wealth by top-level athletes. For example, it is estimated that, years after retirement, about 80% of American soccer players end up broke or in manifestly precarious economic situations. These are significant figures that reflect the danger of the elite athlete managing his fortune without seeking advice, or with inadequate advice.

For this reason, the aim of this Postgraduate diploma is to offer the current and necessary knowledge of the most effective techniques for heritage preservation. With the specialization they will acquire, the Sports Science professional will be able to diligently manage their own assets or advise with guarantees to athletes on the corrections to be made to avoid economic fiasco.

Thus, these objectives will be achieved by developing an extensive tour of the legal and labor regime of athletes at different levels, delving into key aspects such as the determination of tax residence or the application of different tax rates. This will lay the groundwork for approaching wealth management through the design of contingency plans or through the evaluation of responsible investment options.
