Win beyond the game. Build wealth that lasts.
WIN Private Wealth helps athletes build financial infrastructure that outlasts your playing career. Fiduciary advice, tax planning, and accountability from advisors who understand the pressure, the timeline, and what comes next.
Why We Exist
Most athletes make more money by 25 than most people earn in a lifetime. The problem isn't the money coming in. It's what happens to it after.
How We're Different
We don't just manage your portfolio. We help you make smarter decisions with every contract, every endorsement deal, and every tax bill. One team, one plan, built around your career timeline and what happens after.
Why It Matters
Your career has a built-in clock, which means every financial decision needs to be intentional. When your agent, accountant, and advisor all operate separately, you're missing opportunities We bring it all together so nothing falls through the cracks.
Two different paths. One shared mission.
Malique spent seven years advising high-net-worth clients at a Fortune 100 firm after playing Division 1 football at Fresno State and working in the NBA. Derron played in the NFL and did what most athletes don't. He protected his wealth while building it, investing in real estate and businesses that allowed him to transition with confidence. We partnered because entrepreneurs and athletes deserve advisors who've walked their path.
Financial planning built for the reality of professional sports.
Your career window is short. Your earning potential is high. And the pressure to make the right decisions with your money is overwhelming.
Most financial advisors don't understand what it's like to be you. We do.
The athlete's financial reality
Income concentration
You'll make more money in 3-10 years than most people earn in a lifetime. That's an opportunity but also a risk if you don't plan correctly.
Career uncertainty
Injuries happen. Contracts end. Performance matters. You need a plan that works whether you play 3 years or 15.
Pressure to provide
Family. Friends. Agents. Trainers. Everyone has an opinion on what you should do with your money. We help you separate good advice from noise.
Post-career transition
What comes next? Whether it's entrepreneurship, broadcasting, coaching, or something else entirely, we help you build a plan that extends far beyond your playing days.

What Makes Us Different for Athletes
We've lived it
With experience as a professional athlete, Derron knows what it's like to get the contract, feel the pressure, and wonder what comes next. That perspective shapes everything we do.
We vet deals and opportunities
When someone pitches you a "can't-miss" investment, we help you evaluate it. We have a network of attorneys and CPAs who provide due diligence before you write a check.
We plan for two realities
Best case: you have a long career and build generational wealth. Worst case: your career ends sooner than expected, but you've saved enough to set yourself up for the next chapter. We plan for both.
We're not starstruck
You're not a celebrity to us. You're a client. We're not here to take pictures or get autographs. We're here to help you build wealth.
Common Mistakes We Help Athletes Avoid
Underestimating taxes
Your agent tells you the contract number. You forget about taxes. We make sure you know what you're actually taking home and help you minimize what goes to the IRS.
Lifestyle inflation
Bigger house. Nicer cars. More expenses. We help you enjoy your success without putting your future at risk.
Bad investments
Restaurants. Nightclubs. Private businesses with "friends." We've seen it all. We help you say no to bad deals and yes to smart opportunities.
No plan for post-career
Most athletes don't think about life after sports until it's too late. We help you plan for the transition while you're still playing.
Our process for athletes
Phase 1: Introduction
(30 minutes) We share our stories. You share yours. We see if we're a good fit.
Phase 2: Discovery
(60-90 minutes) We review your contracts, income, expenses, investments, insurance, and goals.
Phase 3: Strategy + Design
We build your custom WIN Framework plan and present it.
Phase 4: Execution
(Ongoing) We implement the plan and meet quarterly to adjust as your career and life evolve.
Who we work with
We work with athletes who:
- Understand that their playing career is temporary
- Are serious about building wealth that lasts beyond sports
- Value honest advice over being told what they want to hear
- Are willing to make smart decisions even when they're difficult
- Want to transition into entrepreneurship or other ventures
If that's you, let's talk.
