Ah, the ageing professional athlete. We've seen it time and time again. They approach their mid-thirties and start to wonder about their lives after sports. "What am I gonna do when I'm not hitting the ice/court/field every day?" They're noticing that their bodies don't recover like they used to. The reality sinks in that injury could happen at any moment...and it would all be over in an instant. "How am I going to continue living the lifestyle I'm accustomed to?" So, if they've got the name recognition and they're smart, they start slapping their names on products in hopes of getting another income source going.
And it looks like Mr. MVP, Steve Nash, is no different. He's now 33 and obviously considering his future after basketball. About a week ago, he launched the Steve Nash Sports Club in Vancouver - what looks to be the first in a future chain of fitness clubs. Congrats, Steve-o...but hopefully this is not your way of telling us you've peaked and you're on your way to retirement already!
Here's a few other products he could put his name on while he's at it:
- The Buzz on Nash - After he rocked the bald head last year, how about a Nash branded electric shaver?
- Stretchin' with Steve - A line of yoga/stretching DVDs for the vertically challenged hosted by the mini basketball player himself, designed to make you look and feel taller.
- Nash Crackers - Saltine crackers with his name on them, since he's a rare white 'cracka' in the NBA.
