Services & Resources

An athlete’s career is a window of opportunity to devise strategies, implement plans and establish goals that relate to his performance on the field, create business opportunities, and help to develop long term financial security. At the very least, we look to provide them with a running start for life after professional sports, if not with the long term financial security. With the right resources, athletes can maximize their on-field performances, income prospects, business opportunities, and future career developments after professional sports.

Financial Planning

Professional athletes can witness a tremendous change in their financial status and resources at lightening speed. At other times, their financial growth and net worth changes more slowly over time. In either case, the need for astute assistance in planning the management of those funds and the resulting responses, expectations and responsibilities is critical.

Through the years, Diamond Sports Management has developed relationships with a trusted group of financial planners that we believe create the appropriate support system for our clients. We base that belief on their personal integrity, their technical expertise, their willingness to communicate and educate our clients, and their concern for our athlete’s long term and family welfare.

Our recommendations to the clients for these services are intended to give them early direction on a life impacting matter. If our clients make sound decisions regarding their finances and develop sound practices managing their financial affairs with information to position them wisely, then we will feel another instance of satisfaction in serving them.

Tax Planning

Each player needs trusted and timely advice regarding their tax matters. With income received by playing in multiple locations, players need to cover their tax liabilities responsibly and efficiently. Contracts can have complicated deferrals and need the projections and analysis from the tax expert to understand the value of the dollars provided the client in both today’s dollars and in the future.

To meet these needs, we have developed a rapport with tax experts that meet these needs for the athlete. We understand that any recommendation from us will reflect on us, therefore we accept that responsibility with a keen awareness.

The current tax codes and legal options need to be exercised to protect and position the client in the strongest manner to manage their assets and build their financial security. A service of this nature that works consistently to protect our clients will be invaluable for financial success and peace of mind.

  • PRE-DRAFT PROJECTIONS
  • DEFINE OBLIGATIONS
  • DETERMINE STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE OBLIGATIONS

Sports Medicine/Performace

During sports participation, athletes incur micro-traumas to connective tissues through normal wear and tear that is characteristic of that sport. As these tiny strains and tears take place within the spindles and fibers of the soft connective tissues, the athlete’s skeletal alignment begins to change the body’s natural center of gravity. As this happens, an athlete’s ability to execute the proper mechanics of their sport becomes compromised. This creates the need to compensate, which in turn changes the forces and work loads the athlete experiences in the performance. These changes also affect the quality of the performance. Athletes typically experience undue stresses and changes in performance that increase the instance of injury and decrease performance.

Keeping an athlete on the field and performing at the ultimate level of their talent is our goal. With the resources we understand and endorse, we can provide a unique service to our clients that may minimize their developmental time in the minor leagues, decrease the prospect of injury, and maximize performance in relation to talent. If our clients can achieve these goals, they will enhance their prospects of playing successfully at the Major League level and sustaining that level of play.

Due to the extensive assessment that our experts make, we will be able to screen otherwise “healthy”, injury-free athletes for the purpose of identifying areas of weakness and predict potential physical limitations to their future performance, a valuable asset to any world class performer.

Once these evaluations have been made, each athlete is treated and conditioned in a manner relative to their individual needs as determined from the test data. From there, the athletes realize an upside to their condition and performance that creates new confidence and success.
