Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is one of the few athletes that has remained a prominent influence even after their career. Arguably an MLB icon, A-Rod retired from the game in 2016 but remains a part of the zeitgeist even today. Especially as it comes to the discussion of business and commercial dealings, Rodriguez has kept on top of his investment game after his retirement. Investing in real estate and even some private equity and venture capital ventures, the transition surely could not have been simple. Especially with business jargon.

Alex Rodriguez has made his way to becoming a business mogul with his new initiatives. Working under the umbrella of his A-Rod Corp., Rodriguez may have adapted to the landscape, but if he is to be believed, there was some warming up to do. Having played in MLB for over 20 years, the business world didn’t come naturally to A-Rod. And despite his efforts to get used to it, there was a training period.

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez kept a ‘cheat sheet’

Rodriguez recently revealed that his transition into business wasn’t all that smooth. Said A-Rod, “When I pivoted to the business world, I kept a cheat sheet with financial definitions in my wallet so I could look it up.”

While the athlete may have been a pro at hitting and securing bases on the diamond, he still had a little way to go in his commercial ventures. He, however, maintains that the business functions are something he enjoys and will keep it going.
