Sportspeople are not invincible. One day, their sporting careers will end. Most sportspeople simply don’t control when this will happen. By providing specialist transition and wellbeing services, we are here to help all sportspeople become better prepared for a life outside of sport.

    Situation

    Not all sportspeople win gold medals or million-pound contracts. The reality for most of the UK’s 17,000 sportspeople is that when their sporting careers come to an end – often abruptly – the majority will need to start a second career. Even before the pandemic, 71% of players’ retirement was out of their control. One in five sportswomen now believe they may have to give up their sport due to the impacts of COVID-19.

    Solution

    We exist to help any sportsperson – irrespective of the stage of their career or what they’ve achieved – to develop their identity and make a continued positive contribution to society, whilst ensuring they receive the best preparation for the next phase of their life. We do this by delivering person-centred training, wellbeing and transition support. Our services are accessed by over 1,000 sportspeople every year and include masterclasses, tailored one-to-one support and mental health support.
