At "More than a Footballer," we believe that every footballer, regardless of their stage in the game, has a multifaceted identity and potential that extends far beyond the pitch.
Our mission is to empower athletes to recognise and embrace this broader identity, preparing them for a fulfilling life both during and after their playing career.
The pressures and demands of professional football can often make players quite short-sighted, but we are here to offer support, guidance, and resources that enable footballers to envision and build a future that aligns with their values, interests, and ambitions off the pitch.

We understand that transitioning away from professional football can be an emotional and psychological challenge. For many players, football has shaped their identity and purpose for much of their lives. That’s why our approach goes beyond career development to include mental and emotional well-being.
We help footballers build a strong sense of self-worth that is independent of their athletic achievements, fostering confidence and resilience as they enter the next phase of their lives. Through workshops on leadership, financial literacy, and networking, we equip athletes with practical skills to thrive in new careers and explore opportunities in various industries.
Through personalised mentoring and tailored training programs, we help footballers explore their holistic identity, develop new transferable skills, and grow both personally and professionally.
The transition from professional sports can be daunting, but we aim to demystify the process by equipping athletes with all the tools they need to succeed in life away from football.
Our workshops and programs are designed to foster holistic personal development, guiding players in areas such as financial, emotional, educational and mental wellbeing and more. We recognise that each footballer’s journey is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet the individual needs and aspirations of every player we work with.
At "More than a Footballer," we believe in creating a community where athletes can connect with fellow footballers and industry professionals to share experiences, best practice and build supportive networks that extend beyond their playing days.
Our vision is to empower every footballer to leave the game with a clear sense of purpose and identity to confidently navigate through life beyond the pitch.
By shifting the narrative from football performance to broader holistic potential, we help players discover new ways to make an impact and build a fulfilling future, whether they are nearing retirement or still in the early stages of their career.
For many players, football has been a central part of their entire lives. The passion, discipline, and focus that drive success in the sport are qualities that can be transferred to other fields, and our goal is to show players how to harness those attributes in new and meaningful ways.
We offer mentoring that encourages athletes to identify their strengths and interests beyond the pitch and provides practical steps to cultivate those areas. Whether it's supporting a player during a career setback, helping a player navigate a career shift or pursue educational opportunities, "More than a Footballer" is committed to supporting every player at every stage of their career.
