Why you need a personalised property mentor

At Merritt Sports, we believe every athlete deserves the chance to maximise the earnings from their playing career.

The career of every professional athlete is filled with highs and lows. A select few enjoy years of sustained success. In reality, most sportspeople only have a season or two at the peak of their game.

Success can be fleeting. No one knows how long they’ll be at the top, and most professional athletes have a short window of above-average earnings. All too often, the financial rewards of success quickly disappear.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

For many young sporting professionals, securing an asset base early on in their journey can make an enormous difference in terms of their future financial security.

With decades of experience in the property market, we know the benefits that come from a well-structured portfolio that enables people to use their resources to build wealth over time.
