The transition from college athletics to the pros is one of the most financially challenging periods in an athlete’s life. The Pro Athlete Transition Program, created by Financial Footwork and led by NFL Money Coach Hillary Seiler, equips your athletes with the tools and training they need to navigate that shift with confidence.
Backed by 8+ seasons inside NFL & NBA organizations, this program goes beyond basic financial literacy. Athletes learn how to manage sudden income, understand taxes, build a financial team, and protect their wealth and identity from day one. Seamlessly integrate this program into your draft prep, rookie onboarding, or exit strategies,.and help your athletes build a strong financial foundation for life after college.
"Hillary is an exceptionally intelligent and talented individual who prioritizes and deeply understands how to connect with people in a genuine way. Her main goal is to educate, but she indirectly provides a positive influence of motivation, connectivity, and autonomy for our LSU student-athletes as she guides them through the nuances of their financial fitness.
She and her team also provide assistance for our LSU athletics staff members as they progress and navigate their financial journeys. Hillary’s ability to appropriately cater educational content to anyone in the room speaks volumes to her desire to authentically connect with and support others. If anyone can make financial literacy fun, engaging, and relatable, it’s Hillary!"
“I was fortunate enough to meet Hillary in July of 2018 and quickly realized her expertise and approach was different in terms of being able to capture the attention of student-athletes and give them usable information in real time. Her knowledge of the subject matter is incredible, and her delivery is impeccable.
Furthermore, she has a great grasp of the ability to connect with student-athletes because of her experience and credibility with professional athletes. The real value is that this is not a one-off or “check-the-box” type program; there is real and sustainable learning, and she always has strong takeaways from each session that students can use immediately.
We have had very positive feedback both from student-athletes and staff and I highly recommend her work without hesitation. If you really want a program that is going to give your students real skills that they can use daily, this is the program for you. Financial literacy should be a requirement for all students and this program is a winner in all aspects. ”
