What is the Player’s Club? Well, if you have to ask then obviously you are not a member. The Player’s Club is an upscale monthly magazine dedicated to educating athletes – rookies, veterans and retired – about the challenges they face as professionals. This publication attempts to teach athletes about the unique set of difficulties they will encounter as celebrities. Articles on financial planning, building wealth and protecting their families provide potential consumers with valuable, substantive content that fits their particular situation. Player’s Club has a niche but time will tell if there is enough of a market among athletes to sustain a monthly magazine. But if this magazine is anything like its founder, Lenny Dykstra, it may just beat the odds and have long-term success.
