Touchdown Finance is a great read that i highly recommend for anyone learning about personal finance. The book was able to make money management easy to understand with 7 straight forward rules. The interviews with Pro athletes & real life financial examples of pro athletes makes this an interesting read for anyone that likes sports.
The money management playbook has tools anyone can use; from the rookie professional athlete to the college grad in their 1st job.

A great read for anyone

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018

This book is a great read for professional athletes at any stage of their careers, but really it is applicable to anybody who wants to efficiently manage their personal finances. Sometimes personal finance books can be long winded or overwhelming, whereas this book gets right to the point and the playbook with rules to follow are presented in a way that are straightforward and manageable to "tackle."
