Coaching the Next Generation of
Financial Champions

Tom Henske knows the student-athlete journey because he’s lived it. As a 2x All-American and 3x NCAA Division I Champion goalkeeper at the University of Virginia, Tom helped lead UVA to their 1991 national title with a walk off save in that year’s penalty kick shootout.

Today, Tom teaches personal finance to student-athletes across the country—both in the classroom and through Total Cents University, one of the most practical, sport-specific financial education platforms in college athletics.
