Turn Your Playing Career Into Real Wealth.
Your playing career is temporary. Your financial freedom doesn't have to be.
Founded by Major League Baseball veteran David Bote and real asset investor Brad Hovis, ProWealth Playbook helps professional athletes preserve their earnings, build lasting wealth, and prepare for life beyond the game.
You Don't Need a $300 Million Contract to Build Real Wealth.
When people think about professional athletes, they often picture enormous contracts, luxury homes, and unlimited financial resources.
But that's not the reality for most professional athletes.
Many players spend years pursuing their dreams, earn meaningful money during a relatively short career, and then face the challenge of making those earnings last for decades.
A few million dollars can be life-changing.
But after taxes, living expenses, family responsibilities, and years without a professional sports paycheck, even substantial earnings require careful planning.
The challenge isn't simply earning enough money. It's turning what you earn into something that lasts.
That's who ProWealth Playbook was created to serve.
The professional athlete who has worked hard, earned a tremendous opportunity, and wants to make wise financial decisions. Not to get rich overnight. Not to chase the next big investment. But to preserve their earnings, build productive assets, and pursue lasting financial freedom.
You don't need the biggest contract in sports. You need a financial game plan.
PLAN. PROTECT. GROW. GIVE.
Four Principles. One Financial Game Plan.
Every professional athlete understands the importance of preparation. Your financial future deserves the same discipline you bring to your sport.
PLAN.
Understand your money, establish your goals, and develop a clear financial strategy. Know what you're earning, what you're spending, and what you're working toward.
PROTECT.
Manage lifestyle expenses, understand financial risks, and protect the opportunity you've worked so hard to create. Earning money is important. Keeping it is essential.
GROW.
Learn how disciplined investing and income-producing assets can help turn your playing income into a long-term financial foundation. Build assets that work for you.
GIVE.
Financial freedom creates opportunities to support your family, pursue your passions, and make a lasting difference. Make your success matter beyond yourself.
Two Backgrounds. One Mission.
DAVID BOTE
Co-Founder | Major League Baseball Veteran
David Bote knows what it takes to reach the highest level of professional baseball. Drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2012, David worked his way through the minor leagues before making his Major League debut in 2018.
He experienced the rewards of professional baseball—and the reality that even a successful playing career doesn't last forever. David wanted to turn his baseball earnings into lasting financial security for his family. That pursuit helped inspire ProWealth Playbook.
BRAD HOVIS
Co-Founder | Real Asset Investor & Entrepreneur
Brad Hovis is an entrepreneur and real asset investor focused on acquiring income-producing assets and preserving capital. Through his investing journey, Brad developed a financial philosophy centered on creating investment income that could eventually exceed his living expenses.
That philosophy became the Real Wealth Formula and helped shape David's approach to building wealth beyond baseball.
One understands the financial realities of professional sports. The other understands the process of building wealth through ownership and investing.
Together, they're helping athletes prepare for financial freedom beyond the game.
A Financial Game Plan Born From Real Experience.
David Bote accomplished what millions of young baseball players dream of doing. He reached the Major Leagues.
But David wasn't signing one of the enormous contracts that dominate sports headlines. Like many professional athletes, he had an extraordinary financial opportunity—and a limited window to make the most of it.
He wanted his earnings to do more than support his lifestyle during his playing career. He wanted to preserve them, invest them wisely, and build a financial future that would last.
Through a relationship that began when Brad Hovis played college baseball with David's older brother, David had watched Brad pursue financial freedom through real estate and income-producing assets. David wanted to pursue that same freedom.
That shared vision eventually became ProWealth Playbook. Because you shouldn't need a $300 million contract to build a successful financial future.
"I was fortunate to play Major League Baseball and earn money doing something I loved. But I knew my playing career wouldn't last forever. I wanted to protect what I'd earned and build a future where my investments could support my family long after baseball. And…that's what I did! It's the reason we created ProWealth Playbook—to help other players do the same."
Your Playing Career Produces Income. Your Investments Can Produce Freedom.
What if the income from your investments could eventually cover the cost of your lifestyle?
Build income-producing assets until the income they generate exceeds your living expenses. At that point, your financial future becomes less dependent on your next contract, endorsement, or paycheck.
