Brandon is a former professional baseball player in the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners organizations.  Brandon played baseball collegiately for UCLA.  He grew up in Southern California, his dad played college baseball at the University of Redlands and his brother Erik played college baseball at Arizona State.  Naturally, baseball was in his family’s blood.  On their family vacations growing up they would visit different professional ballparks.  He had the opportunity to go to UCLA, play baseball and he was a captain.When host Craig Domann asked Brandon to share his valley or gutter experience, Brandon shared that in his second year of pro ball towards the end of spring training, he “didn’t want to play anymore” and went to his manager and told him so.  He was hitting third in the lineup and was a starter but his heart was doubting his future.  He actually went home that night and knew in his gut that it didn’t feel right and that he couldn’t end his career that way.  The next day he went back and fortunately the manager let him return.  Brandon continues that he couldn’t imagine if he didn't play that year, how different his life would have turned out.  One of the most powerful life lessons for him was he stuck it out, played it out and gave it one last shot.Brandon shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann the fun moments of batting against his brother Erik twice when ASU &amp; UCLA played each other.  His brother hit him in his first at-bat and his brother threw a 0-0 count (first pitch) changeup on the second at-bat.  The brotherly love and competitiveness is obvious when Brandon talks about his relationship with his younger brother.Brandon Averill is Managing Partner of Athlete Wealth Management, aka AWM Capital. Brandon is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professional and holds the Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement (CIPM®) from the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute (CFA).Brandon and his younger brother, Erik, had a vision and a passion for providing financial advice to professional athletes. While most would consider the prospect of working with professional athletes as an exciting clientele, it was their experience as former professional athletes and their personal exposure to bad financial advice that fueled their desire to start AWM. Check-them-out at www.athletewealth.com or www.awmcap.com .Brandon resides in Glendale, CA with his wife Anne who is a Chartered Financial Analyst and two beautiful children, Luke Joshua &amp; Charlotte Grace.  Brandon is passionate about wine, cycling and loves being behind the camera in his free time.

Former MLB Brandon Averill: The Coconut Mindset is More Important than Talent

Athlete CEO Podcast Advice All Pro Athletes Need Former NFL TE and Super Bowl Champion Zach Miller knows firsthand how unprepared athletes are for money management and even more unprepared to enter the workforce after their playing careers. That’s why he’s decided to pursue wealth management as a career after the NFL. His goal is to help equip athletes with the same knowledge he wished he had when he played. Many in the financial business have given up on pro athletes, that’s why Zach Miller has not.Guest: Zach MillerTwitter: twitter.com/ZachMiller861:52What you can’t google about Zach Miller when it comes to his deciding on Arizona State for college, and his path to the NFL and becoming a Super Bowl champion4:59The depression he experienced after retiring from the NFL and how he figured out what he was going to do next. Zach Miller: “You need to change your identity. Every NFL player will experience this because you can’t play forever, the sooner you can transition into your next career, the better.”7:35Every athlete goes through it, but when did Zach first realize football was a business? Zach Miller: “After I had outplayed my rookie contract with the Raiders, they kept telling me to be patient: ‘you’ll be rewarded, you’ll be rewarded,’ and then free agency hits and the Raiders weren’t there with the offer.”10:45One thing many players don’t realize is all of the resources and benefits they have at their disposal through the NFL Player’s Association.14:20The system is really set up to fail professional athletes, especially when they’re young and first coming into the league, whether it be the NFL, NBA or MLB.Zach Miller: “When you come into the NFL you are 21-22 years old, it’s unrealistic to think that these guys, and I’m including myself, I was financially illiterate. You haven’t experienced or worked long enough to know the differences between the right people to hire and evaluating an advisor or agent.” 20:30The main issue when it comes to pro athletes and good investment and financial advice is that once you reach a certain amount of wealth there are certain professionals you need to speak with because the point of entry for financial advisors is so low.Zach Miller: “You need an expert that specializes in you and in what you do.”22:30Zach interviewed with many other financial advising firms or RIAs and he asked them point blank why they didn’t represent or help professional athletes.Zach Miller: NFL guys will just spend all their money. You’ll do all this work and they won’t have any money left. I just reject that opinion. I don’t think that’s true. If you are doing good work and giving the best advice you can actually help a ton of NFL guys. I want to give the kind of advice I wish I had as a young player.” 25:26Professional athletes in NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA need their financial advisors to do so much more than investment. There are so many components to the financial side for professional athletes beyond investment.Listen and Subscribe to the Athlete CEO podcast with Brandon and Erik Averill from AWM Capital on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever else you listen to podcasts.
