Acclaimed Author, Ex-professional Boxer and Hall of Famer Alan Santana Releases Groundbreaking Award-Winning book, “Unprotected,” to Safeguard Young Athletes’ Careers in Sport and Business

After more than five decades in the fight game, boxing veteran, National Boxing Hall of Famer, and author has stepped out of the boxing ring and into the literary world with his eye-opening new book, “Unprotected.” This essential guide for young athletes sheds light on the critical dos and don’ts of professional sports, whether in boxing, baseball, or any other competitive field, including the business world, helping them to navigate the often treacherous business side of their careers.

Drawing from personal experience and years of observing top-tier athletes, Santana exposes the harsh reality of professional sports: too many athletes make millions, only to end up broke before or soon after retirement. Through “Unprotected,” he aims to equip the next generation of athletes with the knowledge and foresight needed to protect their earnings, avoid financial pitfalls, and secure long-term success.

In today’s world of sports and business, education is everything. Alan was recently approached by Dr. Dianna Aguire, who heads Mindset Solutions, who will be using his book to create an eight-week course for students and athletes, so that they will have an edge, whether they go into the business world or pursue a professional career in sports.

“In today’s world of sports and business, education is everything,” says Santana. Young athletes are often unprepared for the financial predators lurking in the shadows. This book provides the insight and vision needed to steer clear of these dangers and build a sustainable career.”

With a candid and compelling narrative, “Unprotected” delves into real-world challenges, offering invaluable lessons that are rarely taught in traditional educational settings. The book serves as a much-needed playbook for athletes looking to safeguard their futures in an industry that is notorious for financial mismanagement and exploitation.

Alan Santana’s passion for athlete education stems from firsthand experience in the world of professional boxing, where financial missteps have long plagued the sport’s greatest champions. His mission is to change that narrative by arming aspiring professional athletes with the tools they need to succeed both in and out of the ring.

Alan’s book recently won the International Impact Book Award for making a difference in the world of sports and education. “Unprotected” is a must-read for any athlete or business owner looking to avoid the pitfalls in professional sports or business.

“Unprotected” is a must-read for any athlete looking to make a career in professional sports without falling victim to financial ruin.
