Being a professional athlete is often heralded as the ultimate career. Doing what you love for money, while garnering fame and glory: what could be better?
That's all very well, but we often forget that athletes' careers are generally quite short. While other professionals may ripen with age and experience, athletes tend to hit their peak early and decline.
But while some athletes struggle for what to do after retirement, others are brimming with ideas for a second career, and in some cases their second career eclipses their first. Check out this gallery to see which athletes had successful second careers.
