Financial Literacy Resources
The USOPC recognizes the importance of financial literacy for Team USA athletes. Understanding personal finance empowers athletes to make informed decisions about their financial well-being and long-term stability. By equipping athletes with financial literacy skills, we aim to foster a sense of financial independence, security, and enable them to navigate their careers and post-athletic life with confidence.
