Thanks, James. A nice reassuring article and good to see a Coug athlete with his head on straight. Most professional athletes end up filing for bankruptcy shortly after retiring from their game.

Is that true?

It has been this way in the past and unless things have improved are still a problem. I read some time in the past that 50% of all professional athletes are bankrupt within three years after their retirement from playing.
