The Orlando Pride clinched their first-ever NWSL championship with a 1-0 victory over the Washington Spirit at Kansas City's sold-out CPKC Stadium. Striker Barbra Banda, the 24-year-old Zambian standout, scored the decisive goal in the 37th minute—her fourth of the postseason—and was named the championship MVP. She dedicated the award to her teammates. The Pride capped an extraordinary season by breaking league records for most wins (18) and points (60) in a single season, previously held by the North Carolina Courage in 2018. Legendary forward Marta Viera da Silva, a six-time FIFA Player of the Year, celebrated her first NWSL title after eight seasons with the Pride. The Brazilian icon shared the emotional moment with her mother, Tereza, who was attending her matches in the U.S. for the first time. Marta reflected on her journey, calling the championship "the answer" to why she remained with Orlando for so long. Orlando became the fourth team in NWSL history to win the championship in their first appearance in the title game, marking a historic milestone for the club. What an amazing game and league, with warrior players and passionate fans. All of us from Player Support Services, Ltd. have been impressed all year long and express our gratitude to everyone involved in the NWSL!!! #NWSL 2024 Championship #OrlandoPride #Women'sSoccer #SportsHistory #InspirationalMoments #TeamworkAndDedication #PlayerSupportServices National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) Orlando Pride Haley Carter, JD/MBA Seb Hines Giles Barnes PAUL CRICHTON Mark Wilf

We make world-class athlete support accessible, affordable, independent, and genuinely trustworthy.
About us
Sport has a hidden crisis – athlete welfare. It’s hidden because there’s a culture of silence around the needs of sportspeople – clubs and sponsors focus on performance and athletes don’t feel safe opening up. And it’s not just about mental health – it’s about all the unmet needs of modern athletes from finances and relationships to planning their life after sport. We want a world where every sportsperson feels fulfilled in and after their sporting life. Some forward-thinking clubs, brands and other organisations do care about their athletes, and many athletes want and need to open up. We exist to help these sports organisations meet the needs of their players. Why us? -> Unrivalled services: we’re the only company in the world providing full-service support to sportspeople and sports organisations -> Expertise: our people are top of their field, just like your athletes. We were founded by an elite army doctor and our consultants include a former Man City FC coach

Player Support Services, Ltd. Takes Player Care to the Next Level Most player care offered to athletes by teams is limited in scope.

The 6 Pillars of Well-Being 1. Athletic Well-Being (sports psychology, injury psychology, physio support, branding, sports lawyers, social media/ marketing, NIL) 2. Physical Well-Being (Nutrition supplements, STI testing, personal security) 3. Mental Well-Being (mental health counseling, life skills coaching, leadership/ culture training) 4. Financial Well-Being – (wealth management, financial literacy, financial planning, investments, budgeting, digital fan engagement platform income streams) 5. Family Well-Being (spousal support, child psychology, relocation/ realtors, parent mentoring, digital data wallet) 6. Post-Career Well-Being – (career transition coaching, business planning, website/ content creation, business newsletter creation) In an industry where traditional player care often falls short, Player Support Services, Ltd. sets a new standard by addressing every facet of an athlete’s journey, both during and after their career. By focusing on the six pillars of well-being—Athletic, Physical, Mental, Financial, Family, and Post-Career—PSS ensures that players are supported holistically, empowering them to thrive in every aspect of life.

Check out my latest Player Support Services article about the positive impact Guardian Sports is having on the reduction of concussions in football. Concussions can have both short-term and long-term impacts on players' health, including headaches, dizziness, memory issues, and increased risk of conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE, linked to repeated head trauma, is associated with mood changes, cognitive decline, and behavior issues. In response, Guardian Sports stepped up to find solutions. #PlayerSupport #GuardianSports #PlayerWelfare #SportConcussions #AthleteWellness #HeadInjuryPrevention #PlayerHealth #ProtectThePlayers #CTEAwareness #SaferFootball #InnovativeSolutions #AthleteSupport #GuardianCap #PlayerSupportServices #ChangingAthletesLives Lee Hanson National Football League (NFL) Indoor Football League United Football League (UFL) Canadian Football League https://lnkd.in/ePUbZZgH

Health-Sports Day, now known as Sports Day, is celebrated in Japan on the second Monday of October every year. The aim of Sports Day is to promote sports and an active lifestyle to ensure a healthy mind and body, and it commemorates the opening of the 1964 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo. Player Support Services is dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique needs of athletes. We recognize athletes need to prioritize every aspect of their physical and mental well-being. Athletes perform at their peak when they are in optimal mental and physical condition. In addition, an athlete’s well-being impacts life outside the sporting arena, such as family life, business ventures, and personal pursuits. However, the most critical aspect of well-being is how athletes feel about themselves. When an athlete goes home after practice, training, and competition or are away from their family, they need to feel comfortable with who they are and have positive feelings about the person they see in the mirror. It is crucial for every athlete who is struggling or interested in improving their overall well-being to ask for help. Player Support Services is here for you with a wide range of services, including family support, life skills training, mental health counseling, sports psychology, business development, wealth management, and many other services and resources. If you find yourself in need of help or resources, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm JJ Weber, M.Ed., and you can message me directly or email joe@player-support.com. Remember, Player Support Services is here for you. #SportsDay #AthletesEverywhere #PeakMentalCondition #FamilySupport #JapanSportsDay #PlayerSupportServices #ChangingAthletesLives Jen Gruskoff Neil Eckersley OLY Randy Grimes World Olympians Association Cathy Engelbert Jessica Berman
