LS4 is a total virtual support team for the athlete---throughout your critical life phases and transitions. Our advisors are former professional and college athletes and work closely with every client to provide key professional and personal services as you transition from college to the pro’s, start a family, retire, begin a second career, or open/buy a business. All these steps are vital during your life and career, but so many athletes lack strong support resources to help them through these transitions. The LS4 team has been there and walked in your shoes---so we have real-world experience and can help immediately to reduce stress and simplify the process.
As an athlete moves into the professional ranks, they suddenly find themselves in a much different lifestyle, financial situation, and constant set of surrounding temptations. LS4 professionals have experienced this time and are here to help our clients develop sound strategies that afford them the benefits of their new financial position, but also institute proper programs and planning to set aside funds for retirement, family and other future needs. We make sure that you are on the right track to leverage your new income and put you on a path for lifelong success.
As many athlete’s become professionals, they also might be getting married and having children---while you are still an active player. These events are normally joyous occasions, but also have a significant impact on financial planning, managing your cash-flow and expenses, and having a good balance for how you spend money. LS4 advisors will help you develop a short-term and long term personal, professional and financial plan to make sure all the current and anticipated needs of your family are met—reducing stress on you and making it easy to have fun, enjoy your life and not worry about future obligations.
So many athletes begin to start a business career while still active in sports or after retirement, but lack some necessary experience and tools to be successful. As your strategic partner, LS4 has the professionals, resources, talent and credentials to work closely with you during the business planning phase, development, and on-going management activities. We can help you evaluate potential business options, investments, acquisitions or simply help you develop, market and grow your business with complete consulting and professional services with executives who have years of experience by your side.
Develop a career after sports and your playing days are over is critical for most athletes. Some know immediately what path they want to choose. However, most athletes do not have a clear path to a second career and need to evaluate many options to select the one that makes the most sense for them. LS4 professionals work closely with our clients to assist them in this evaluation process, help market them if necessary, and provide guidance and support throughout the process so this transition is a smooth one.
As athletes, we all dread the day we have to “hang it up”. Sports has been our life and the benefits have been enormous. However, we also know that you have to begin planning for the day you step off the field well ahead of time---financially, career-wise, for your family, etc. LS4 advisors have lived through this process and provide a complete set of professional services to help you plan for and execute a strong and effective retirement plan—so this is a comfortable and stress-free transition.
