Athlete Financial Foundations
The Australian Institute of Sport have specifically designed the Athlete Financial Foundations for athletes. It is created by people who understand the sporting journey, the highs of competition, the unpredictable income, the sacrifices and the moments where you have to choose between what your body needs and what your budget allows.
Think of these resources like a training plan for your financial wellbeing. It’s not about perfection, it’s about progress, awareness and building habits that last beyond your sporting career.
