This is true...
It's not that the money won't last forever... if invested wisely it will last them beyond their own lifespan (to their children, granchildren, etc).
It's a matter of spending beyond their means... and you're right this does happen to a lot of people besides athletes. Average earning people look at these super athletes and think they'll be rich their whole life, well take another look.
