Athena Constantinou – Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate

 

Personal Notes

Athena Constantinou

I have been advising professional athletes on how to best manage their finances for more than 20 years. All through these years, I have accumulated a vast knowledge on their money management behaviors. Unfortunately I often see that the commitment and dedication they give to the game is not the same they give to their personal finances. In order to reverse the trend of athletes making fatal financial mistakes, we have established the Sports Financial Literacy Academy which educates athletes to make sound financial decisions by increasing their financial literacy levels.
