Sheryl Hilliard Tucker has dedicated her career to MONEY. As a former editor-in-chief and vice president of Black Enterprise magazine, (a leading authority on African-American businesses), she help change the way Black Americans think about their MONEY. She began her career as an editor of Women's Day and Mechanix Illustrated Special Interest Publications and has edited several books including Prime Time:The African American's Complete Guide to Midlife Health and Wellness. She is an experienced public speaker, seminar leader and financial education panelist.
Sheryl Hillard Tucker will outline what is at stake when a professional athlete does not seek to develop a relationship with their "Money" during high earning years. She will also discuss the efforts that are being made by player leagues and player unions to encourage athletes to play an active role in the management of their money. Professional athletes face unique financial challenges and opportunities during their professional career. Most professional athletes face short careers of an average of five years. Many professional athletes are plagued with long-term injuries after retirement. Tucker believes that a professional athlete's assets can be managed to address financial planning issues early in the athletes' career to protect their future lifestyle.
