Former NBA player and U.S. Olympian Charles Smith knows what it's like after playing pro-sports. Now he's trying to help other athletes as they transition away from professional sports. He has partnered with Fierce Conversations, Inc to create specially-designed training programs to help athletes better transition into Corporate America and also help businesses understand and leverage pro-sports team mentalities and teamwork dynamics.⁣ ⁣ "The sports industry only focuses on how much money athletes make and never talks about their business acumen or education," Smith said. But that paycheck ends once a career on the field ends- it's important for all athletes to have knowledge of the business world in order to acquire and sustain a career after sports.⁣ ⁣ [source: nysportsscene.com]⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #afrugalathlete #CharlesSmith #NBA #business #moneymanagement #corporateamerica
