Hello, my name is Adam Manns and I am currently an MBA student/ athlete at East Carolina University.

I am a firefighter turned professional bobsled athlete for Team USA.

I received a full ride athletic/academic scholarship, so I was able to use the money that would have gone towards college tuition to fund my investment!

Use moderate debt or even no debt so that if the market goes against your friend for a few years, you arent putting the whole inheritance at risk.  5)diversify into other assets, ie buy some stocks, some real estate and some bonds.  6) do a personal budget, everyone can overspend, the world is littered with pro athletes, entertainers and the like going bankrupt because they couldnt live within their means, especially with new found wealth.  

This past spring, I graduated from the University of California, Davis where I was a student athlete on the division 1 baseball team and earned a degree in managerial economics.

I live in the upper unit and rent out the bottom unit to student-athletes who go to the nearby college.

@Landon Brazile I too am a former college athlete and can say that it's been amazing to see my former teammates excel rapidly in the workplace. 

I am an Athletic Trainer wanting to own real estate and become an investor.

, and am an avid obstacle race athlete.
