Many athletes have successfully transitioned into entrepreneurship after their sports careers, leveraging their fame, discipline, and business acumen. For example, Michael Jordan founded the Jordan Brand, a highly successful line under Nike, and has invested in several businesses. Serena Williams has made her mark in venture capital, investing in startups like SurveyMonkey and Daily Harvest. LeBron James has built a media empire with SpringHill Entertainment, producing films and TV shows. These athletes demonstrate how they’ve used their platform, work ethic, and passion to create successful business ventures beyond their sports careers.

I hate companies like nike. Such kind of companies suck. Having said that, there are a few cricketers in my country who have turned into entrepreneurs in my country. However, not all cricketers are able to achieve success at that level.
