You Don't Need a $300 Million Contract to Build Real Wealth.
ProWealth Playbook began with a professional baseball player who understood that earning life-changing money and building lifelong financial freedom weren't the same thing.
That player was David Bote.
Reaching the Major Leagues Was Only the Beginning.
David spent years working toward his dream of playing Major League Baseball. After being drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2012, he navigated the minor leagues before making his Major League debut in 2018.
He had achieved something extraordinary.
But reaching the highest level of baseball introduced a different set of decisions.
David wasn't signing one of the massive contracts that dominate sports headlines. Like many professional athletes, he had a meaningful financial opportunity and a limited window to make the most of it.
He wanted to turn that opportunity into lasting financial freedom.
A Relationship That Started Long Before the Major Leagues.
Years before David reached the big leagues, Brad Hovis played college baseball with David's older brother. They were teammates and roommates.
That connection introduced Brad to the Bote family and established a relationship that would eventually lead to ProWealth Playbook.
Pursued professional baseball.
Pursued entrepreneurship and real estate investing.
Over time, David watched Brad build wealth through income-producing assets. What stood out wasn't simply the investments — it was the financial freedom they were helping create.
David saw how that same principle could apply to his own career earnings. Rather than relying indefinitely on baseball income, he could pursue ownership of assets capable of generating income beyond his playing days.
Other Athletes Need This, Too.
As David began pursuing financial freedom, he recognized that thousands of other professional athletes faced the same challenge. They weren't necessarily signing enormous contracts. But they were earning money that could create meaningful financial opportunities for themselves and their families.
The problem wasn't always a lack of income. It was the absence of a clear financial game plan.
David wanted other athletes to understand the principles that were shaping his own financial decisions.
How to plan.
How to protect their earnings.
How to build wealth through disciplined investing.
How to use that wealth to create a lasting legacy.
Together with Brad, he founded ProWealth Playbook around four principles:
Helping Athletes Win Beyond the Game.
ProWealth Playbook exists because a professional sports career can create an extraordinary financial opportunity. But that opportunity doesn't last forever.
