Athlete $martPlay by MMI

The standard in sports financial education

Athletes face unique financial challenges, including variable income, complex contracts, complicated tax requirements, and high-pressure decisions with longterm consequences. Athlete $martPlay by Money Management International (MMI) equips athletes with practical financial knowledge to make confident, informed decisions during their careers and beyond.

Why MMI?

MMI is one of the nation’s largest nonprofit financial education organizations, proudly delivering unbiased and sales-free educational programs for more than 65 years.

Athlete $martPlay is led by Maura Attardi, Director of Sports Education at MMI. Maura has delivered 1,500+ programs to more than 25,000 individuals, including 13,000 athletes across the NFL, NHL, MLS, WWE, and universities. A former Division I student-athlete, she brings firsthand athlete experience to every program.

Planning for life beyond competition

Athletes often face complex financial decisions without structured education. Athlete $martPlay provides an athlete-centered model focused on:

  • Managing income and cash flow
  • Understanding taxes
  • Handling credit
  • Avoiding financial pitfalls
  • Building long-term financial skills

Flexible sessions for teams and individuals, supported by modern delivery tools (live instruction, digital education, and progress tracking) to reinforce learning and measure outcomes.

“Maura has been a preferred, essential, and an invaluable resource to us and our players. Her knowledge and presentation skills in financial education are one of a kind and we are always happy to have her.”
