Description:
A 2009 Sports Illustrated article revealed that 60 percent of former NBA players are broke within five years of retiring. Within two years of retirement, 78% of former NFL players face bankruptcy or financial hardship. Often victims of poor investments, financial exploitation, health issues, and a natural inclination to display wealth, professional athletes are often unprepared for the economic realities after years of lavish spending. This documentary explores the psychology of these men, featuring surprisingly candid admissions from retired athletes like Keith McCants, Bernie Kosar, Andre Rison, and Marvin Miller, former executive director of the MLB Players Association. It examines how the competitive drive that fueled their success on the field can ultimately lead to personal ruin.
