The Easiest Way to Build Wealth as a Coach

(Automatically)

As coaches, we thrive on structure. We make practice plans, build routines, and track stats. But when it comes to our own finances? Many of us are winging it.

That ends today.

If you’re serious about building long-term financial stability, start with this simple step:
👉 Automate one financial goal.

Let’s break it down.

⚙️ Why Automation Works

The truth is, your time and energy are limited. You're juggling:

  • Practice schedules

  • Game plans

  • Film sessions

  • Player development

  • And possibly a full-time job on top of coaching

You don’t need more to do. You need your money working quietly in the background.

Automation removes friction.
No more relying on memory or willpower. Once it’s set, your financial goal runs on autopilot.

💡 Pick One Goal to Start

You don’t need a 10-step savings plan. Just pick one goal:

  • Save $500 for emergency expenses

  • Build a camp gear fund

  • Pay off a small credit card balance

  • Set aside money for offseason coaching clinics

  • Invest a little each week

Start small. Start smart.

🛠️ How to Set It Up in 10 Minutes

  1. Open a separate savings or investing account

    • Try Ally, Capital One 360, or your current bank

    • For investing: Vanguard, Fidelity, Betterment, or Acorns

  2. Set up an automatic transfer from your coaching account

    • Weekly or monthly—whatever fits your cash flow

  3. Choose an amount that won’t stress you out

    • $5/week adds up to $260/year. That’s a start.

Why This Works for Coaches

Coaching life is seasonal. You’re busy, then you’re slammed.
If you don’t automate your goals, they’ll get buried in the chaos.

But when your savings happen automatically?
You don’t have to think about it. You just win quietly.

“Automated reps build financial strength, just like reps in the gym build your players.”

📘 Real Example: Coach Tyler

Tyler coached travel teams and ran offseason clinics. He set up a weekly $25 auto-transfer to a "Coaching Growth Fund."

After a year? Over $1,200 saved.
He used it to upgrade gear and invest in a coaching course—without dipping into his personal budget.

That’s the power of small, automated actions.

Final Whistle:
You’ve tracked your income. You’ve separated your coaching money. Now, put your financial growth on autopilot.

✅ Choose one goal
✅ Set a small weekly transfer
✅ Let the system do the work

You’re not just building athletes. You’re building a better financial future.
