The Programme
The Programme provides a service that is Player-centric, focusing on the needs of Players at every stage of their careers, whatever their age. Its fundamental principle is to give Players the necessary information to take control of making decisions in their lives. To succeed in this goal Players must have the very best specialist support and guidance on an on-going basis.
The Life Cycle outlines the development of Players from their first Academy contract to retirement and the support they require at each phase of their professional lives.
The Players Programme has tailored educational modules for each of these phases ensuring that Players are given support that grows and develops with them, reflecting their changing needs and challenges.
