(S12) - PT 2 - Not All on Training

[mabb]

So many players in pro sports have always dreamed of being professionals and being paid for training and playing their hearts out. But, because reaching that point has been their lifelong goal, many do not have a plan or dream for after their career is over. For Xandra, her eventual plan has been shaped since she was young by her favorite Disney movie, the 101 Dalmatians. As long as she can remember, all she has wanted to do has been to own a farm with lots and lots of dogs. So, she has been aggressively saving her paychecks for her ultimate goal for post-football life. Instead of being out there living the life of a medium-profile sports star, she and Nax are more like homebodies, strategizing on the best breeds to incorporate, looking at farm options on Zillow, evaluating different regions on free weekends, and working on a business plan. It would be great to to have a partner, but Xandra is prepared to go it herself if she doesn’t have a serious boyfriend/life partner by the time she retires from football. She’s also fairly certain plenty of her friends who have made it big in Silicon Valley and other veteran NSFL players would be up for investing for the sheer joy of being able to always visit and pet as many dogs as they would like.
