A Career Measured in Years.
A Legacy Measured in Generations.
Elite athletes train for peak performance—but the game doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. At OWPFG, we help you turn a brief career into enduring success, with strategies built for life beyond sport.
The Most Important Phase
Is What Comes Next
Most pro athletes step away from the game in their 20s. According to RBC Wealth Management, MLB careers average 5.6* years, NHL 5.5*, NBA 4.8*, and NFL just 3.3* years. But that’s the opportunity: decades of life and influence remain after the game. At OneWealth, we help you turn a brief earning window into a lifelong advantage. Professional athletes often enjoy career earnings concentrated within a decade or less. In contrast, many professionals—such as physicians or airline pilots—amass wealth over careers spanning 15* to 35* years. For instance, physicians typically practice for around three decades following residency, and airline pilots can accumulate lifetime earnings over similarly extended careers. Recognizing this difference underscores why strategic financial planning is essential for athletes: a trusted partner like OneWealth can help you convert those high-impact years into a sustainable financial legacy that lasts long after the final buzzer.
Career averages for professional athletes—MLB (5.6 years), NHL (5.5 years), NBA (4.8 years), and NFL (3.3 years)—are based on RBC Wealth Management’s report, Professional Athletes Need a Retirement Game Plan (2024) (RBC Wealth Management). Physicians typically practice for approximately 31–36 years following residency, according to Health Services Research (2004) and analysis published in Chron (Chron, Health Services Research via White Coat Investor Forum). Airline pilots generally spend 2–2.5 years in training and then accumulate career earnings across multiple decades, with data from Thrust Flight and ATP Flight School (Thrust Flight, ATP Flight School). Average CEO tenure in the S&P 500 is about 7.2 years, with a median of 4.8 years, according to Zippia’s 2023 CEO Tenure Report (Zippia).
