On the Money & Investing Show this week, we’ll sprint through investing tips inspired by the success of professional athletes.

We’ll train by exploring their achievements in sports and how they can apply to the financial world.

Conor McGregor

First in the ring is Conor McGregor who is known for his triumphs in UFC as well as business ventures like Proper 12 Whiskey. McGregor is a prime example of how effective self-promotion and leveraging one’s brand can be in leading to financial success outside of sport.

Michael Jordan

Then we explore basketballer Michael Jordan’s story. His partnership with Nike to create the Air Jordan line revolutionised sports marketing. Jordan’s hands-on involvement in the design and promotion of his products underscored the importance of active participation in business endeavours.

Shaquille O’Neal

Next, we look at how basketball great Shaquille O’Neal made early investments in companies like Google. O’Neal’s example highlights the importance of making smart investment choices and maintaining a diversified portfolio.

Lance Armstrong & Serena Williams

Finally, we look at cyclist Lance Armstrong and tennis great Serena Williams, who moved into private equity and venture capital. Their stories emphasise the need to continually adapt and refine investment strategies.
