Working with professional athletes
SFB Sport For Business can help professional athletes to plan for the future, identifying their business potential and helping them to explore training and recruitment opportunities.
The transition from playing sport to pursuing a business career can be very difficult, so we’re here to help advise, support and guide athletes through this process.
- We understand that professional sportsmen/women focus on being the best within their field and achieving the highest honours possible - they are focused in their pursuit of excellence and the here and now.
- We offer business mentoring for each athlete and help to create opportunities in the fields that interest them and help to identify their strengths and enhance their core skills.
- We advise on any relevant qualifications needed in their chosen career, and in conjunction with the companies who are offering work experience, help them achieving these.
- We also help athletes who have been forced to retire through injury and whose sports careers have suddenly ended or need to take a different approach. We can help them to plan for their future and guide them through their business career.
- We recognise the need to educate and encourage our young future professionals who are at Academy level, thereby helping to shape their future through sport and beyond into the world of business.
