I follow basketball so I know that 15 applies to majority. 12 years to absolute majority. However you should keep in mind that athletes who drop out of NBA can earn big money in Europe and now even in China.
Even in NBA it is 10 years for majority. I mean you can be starter for 5-7 years and then bench player for few more.

Again it does not matter, my point is that even if you have zero management skills you naturally improve in that department after few years. It is not one time money influx like in lotteries etc.
