Why You Should Coach Your Financial Advisor Like An NFL Roster
In the NFL, even the best players have to earn their spot every season — and the people managing your money should be held to the same standard. Sheldon Day's NFL story began with a narrative that is similar to many, but he's insistent that it does not end the way that many do, with 78% of professional athletes experiencing financial distress post-sport. He grew up in a relatively poor community on the east side of Indianapolis and did all the work to become an All-American and two-time captain at a little-known football school called Notre Dame. He experienced that moment of euphoria when he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and figured all of his financial worries were over when he got a six-figure signing bonus. Only, he got his first financial shock when he learned that six figures quickly becomes five after taxes. It was the first of many signs he received that the financial landscape is much more complex than it often appears—and that you can't trust all the guidance that is thrust upon a young athlete when you don't even know what questions to ask. So, in a stint with the San Francisco 49ers, he and teammates Richard Sherman and Tom Zheng banded together to form The Players Company, an organization designed to help 'athletes and investors achieve their full financial potential,' through education, tools, and resources designed to help them 'grow, manage, and sustain generational wealth.' I asked Day in a recent podcast interview why this was so important. Because sadly, too many pro athletes have learned that they can't fully trust the people who have historically given them guidance. Yes, there are plenty of great agents and financial advisors out there, but the above referenced statistic—and too many stories of self-interested representatives—suggest that the old adage, 'Trust, but verify,' may need to be reversed. And while the stakes may be higher for pro athletes making millions, the following guidance is applicable to you, too, and anyone looking to fill out the ranks of their personal advisory council: Role Reversal—You're The Coach Now Sheldon Day and every other NFL player have been evaluated by coaches and owners their entire lives, but when building out his team of representatives, he's assuming the coaching role. And you are similarly empowered to do the same. I get it; the financial, estate, and tax worlds are horribly complex and rife with jargon, precedent, and tax code that feels like it requires you, as client, to assume a submissive posture. But the truth is that you are the CEO of this enterprise. The CEO likely isn't, and doesn't have to be, as knowledgeable about finances as the CFO, nor as conversant in legal matters as Chief Counsel. But everyone needs to know the chain of command. Practically speaking, this certainly means that your trusted advisors should act accordingly, but it also means that you need to have the courage to say, 'Give it to me in plain English,' when someone talks over your head, instead of nodding through and hoping for the best. You Define The (High) Standards 'In sports, if you have a bad practice, you get cut,' Day told me. He applies the same principle to his financial life—the people in your inner circle should be consistently operating at their highest level. But how are those standards set? In professional sports, the metrics are clear, but in your personal finances, you create them. Your advisors should absolutely have best practices and standard operating procedures, but you define what good looks like. And just like a good coach, you should set those expectations accordingly. Many great advisors will ask these questions up front: You may have your own list of questions: If an advisor doesn't appear to have their own standards and operating procedures that meet your expectations, and especially if they are skittish about responding to your genuine curiosity, that's a bad sign. Be Ready To Make A Change Sheldon told me that 'Just because they're trustworthy for a year doesn't mean they're going to be trustworthy for 20. If they're not performing at the level you need them to, then it's time to replace them.' Personally, I believe that the best advisory relationships are long-term, because so much of the good chemistry in this arena is built over time, and the benefits of continuity often compound. However, professional athletes are evaluated perpetually—and especially on an annual basis—and professional advisors should be no different. I know a handful of advisors are likely squirming when they read this, but the best advisors expect to be held to high standards and are anxious to deliver on them. There's no reason you shouldn't be working with them. Conclusion Most of us will never take a snap in the NFL, but you're already the de facto head coach of a team of your own—the people entrusted with helping to grow and protect your wealth so that you can live with intention and give your best to those you love. Sheldon Day's reminder is as simple as it is unflinching: 'Your circle of trust has to be at its best at all times.' And yes, that means keeping score, calling out missed assignments, and when necessary, making a roster change.
