Common post-career income paths
Athletes may earn through coaching, camps, broadcasting, appearances, endorsements, investing, real estate, training facilities, business ownership, sales roles, or consulting. Those paths can work, but many are time-intensive or depend on continued public attention. Referral income is different because it can be built around direct trust with people already in the athlete's phone.
Why pro athletes are unusual connectors
A pro athlete's reputation does not disappear when the uniform comes off. In many markets, the player remains a known and trusted name for decades. The value is not only national fame; it is the hometown, college, alumni, business, medical, family, church, charity, and community network that still answers when that athlete reaches out.
How PPB turns access into a process
PPB uses ProEdge to register businesses, check conflicts, document the rep relationship, route interest letters, and track pipeline status. The athlete is not left hoping a handshake gets honored. The introduction is recorded and the process is visible.
How PPB fits
The agreement comes first. The introduction is documented. The partner team handles the rest.
A retired pro athlete should not have to hope a handshake gets honored. PPB gives approved reps a structured process through ProEdge: register the business, protect attribution, move through conflict check, send the interest letter, and track the status.
