	Description:		Episode 14 of the Financial Planner Life Podcast with Sam Oakes My dad once said to me (after a skinful of cider & in front of all my mates)… “Sam, you could’ve played football for England.” Totes embarrassing, right?! Thanks for the vote of confidence daddio, but in reality I was nowhere near professional level. In fact, the statistics are really sobering - less than 1% properly make a living from the game & only 180 of the 1.5 million playing organised youth football in England will make it as a premier league pro - that's 0.012%! My guest on this week’s podcast, Kieran Bywater, was one of the 0.5% that did sign a professional contract! Set for life, right? Wrong! It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows and, like many other players, he had to exit the game earlier than anticipated. Many players are not financially prepared for an exit. This is exactly why Kieran decided to become a financial planner: to help those in the game manage their money. Kieran shares his career journey from pro footballer to Financial Planner, the transferable skills and why financial well-being should be the focus for all professional footballers. if you are a professional footballer looking for financial planning reach out directly to Kieran Bywater here l and for careers within financial planner connect with Sam Oakes on Linkedin
