Beyond Football

Last week, we had the privilege of delivering another impactful workshop to Brentford FC U18's, in collaboration with Town and City Homes . Our session focused on equipping players with essential skills both on and off the pitch, blending property investment education with personal development. Highlights: • Expert insights on property investment from Town and City Homes' 20+ years of experience • Interactive LEGO house-building activity to foster creativity and critical thinking • Emphasis on developing skills beyond football for long-term success We're thrilled with the positive feedback from the players and look forward to continuing these valuable sessions. A huge thank you to Brentford FC for their ongoing support in nurturing well-rounded athletes. Together, we're building a stronger future for football and beyond.

What do footballers do after retirement? 🤔 Well done to OneFootball for using their platform to share this piece on the diversity of careers that footballers pursue post-retirement, whether it's Lukas Podolski investing in a kebab business or Mathieu Flamini's biochemical company revolutionising the green energy sector. The more we as a community humanise athletes, and showcase their off-field passions and ventures, the more receptive the industry becomes to athlete aftercare and transition readiness programmes for players. It doesn't have to feel like the end of the world when the boots are hung up - it can be the beginning of an even more exciting chapter! 🙌 https://lnkd.in/eNcDRi2h

It’s been just over a week since this post from Rising Ballers shook me to the core. Jack Badger, a young footballer with dreams of climbing the leagues, tragically took his own life. As reported by the Oxford Mail, "Emergency services raced to a railway bridge near Wantage at around 8:30 AM on Tuesday, September 17." While there’s no direct link between his passing and football, this sport plays a massive role in so many lives, no matter what level you play at—whether it’s the Premier League or Step 5 in the non-league pyramid. For so many, football represents a dream, but the reality behind that dream can sometimes feel isolating. We know young men often struggle to open up. They feel lonely, like the world is against them. They’re told to suck it up, to be tough. In football, you’re labeled soft or told you don’t want it enough if you express weakness. All of these pressures contribute to an environment where many young men don’t feel comfortable asking for help when life gets overwhelming. Research shows this theme is all too common, particularly for men between the ages of 18-30. Hearing more and more stories like this has reignited the fire in me to keep pushing forward with Beyond Football®. Again, this isn’t about attributing Jack’s passing to football, but I genuinely believe that fostering an identity beyond the game can help when life feels challenging and hopeless. When young men can see role models who’ve walked that path, overcome the struggles, and still found success, it creates a spark of hope. "Don’t take away someone’s hope, for hope may be all they have." I pray we start to see fewer stories like this. Rest in peace, Jack. 🙏 The Samaritans are ready to listen and be of assistance over the telephone at any time of day, Call 116 123 (UK & Ireland) – 24/7 support #RestInPeace #BeyondFootball #MentalHealthMatters
