It is no secret that most successful athletes become some sort of entrepreneur after their playing days are over. Some of them are already planting the seeds to grow a great empire while they are still playing.

Now not all of us can be professional athletes but all of us have played some sort of sport for an extended period of time. I have been playing sports my entire life, with football and basketball being my choice of poison for most of it. Whether it is high school football on Friday nights or intramural softball on Tuesday afternoons I have loved playing every minute of it. During that time I gained knowledge and habits that would benefit me for the rest of my life.  Below I will show you why former athletes, professional or Busch league, make great entrepreneurs.
