đȘ How Do Top Athletes Build Their Fortunes? đž In an era where athletes are more than just players, they're becoming global icons and skilled entrepreneurs. A recent report from Forbes covering May 2022 to May 2023 reveals how, while all athletes excel in their respective sports, some have mastered the art of monetizing their off-field image.✠Cristiano Ronaldo, đ LeBron James and đŸ Roger Federer lead impressively with their off-field earnings far surpassing their on-field income. Meanwhile, đ„ Canelo Alvarez, âł Dustin Johnson, đ Russell Wilson and đ Lewis Hamilton are exceptional examples of athletes whose performance in their sports significantly contributes to their overall financial success.Source: Visual Capitalist#SportsFinance #BrandStrategy #AnalyticsArts

People like to compare ratings of menâs and womenâs basketball, but I think itâs an apples-to-oranges situation. The fact is that while both leagues are playing basketball, theyâre doing so with emphasis on different strengths. The NBA is often dominated by one-on-one play, while the womenâs game offers tons of competition, high-level fundamentals, and footwork. There is a lot of strategy and ball movement. And If you think the women canât hang, think again: NBA and WNBA athletes train together. Kawhi Leonard credits WNBA players for teaching him how to use his pivot foot more effectively, and WNBA teams tap high-level men to train against to perfect their craft.The other thing to watch with the womenâs game: itâs evolving, and fast. Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and others are bringing more talent into the game.The menâs and womenâs leagues donât have to compete. They can be complementary and grow together.#basketball #wnba #innovation #sportsbusiness

I was lucky enough to meet Roger Federer at a book signing for his newly released biography a couple of days ago. With only 20 seconds in front of him, I had to make it count. So I asked: âRoger, youâve faced injuries, comebacks, and challengers throughout your career. What do you think you had that others didnât that kept you at the top?âTo be honest, I was expecting him to talk about focus.About resilience.About never stopping.So I was surprised when he said: âYou have to love the process, not just focus on the results.You have to love it, and trust it.âAnd then my time was up.But that idea - of loving the process - stuck with me. Itâs not just about winning or being on top, but about embracing everything that happens along the way: the challenges, the setbacks, the learnings. Federerâs success is built on his commitment to the journey, not just the destination.In business, the same applies. There is a constant pressure to focus on the outcome - quarterly numbers, market share - but true longevity comes from staying committed to what you stand for, even when the path isnât straightforward. Thatâs why at Butterfly I always talk about knowing the business youâre in. Itâs not just about what you make, itâs about what you deliver on a deeper, more emotional level. Thatâs your North Star.When brands love their own process - staying committed to evolving with intention while staying true to their core - they thrive. Federer never deviated from who he was, but he kept refining his game, staying connected to what made him great in the first place. Brands need to do the same: adapt without losing sight of what makes them unique.Longevity isnât about chasing every new trend or reacting to every competitor. Itâs about trusting your process, playing the long game, and evolving with purpose. Brands that get that will stay relevantâno matter how many challengers come their way.#vibrantthinking #inspiration #northstar #butterfly

Interesting article. Thereâs always that moment when athletes wonder what theyâre going to do once theyâve retired. Obviously not every player or athlete is able to pop out and buy a football club.
