For Players
The mental side the game needs just as much work and understanding as the physical and technical sides. But clubs and managers don’t get this. Beyond The Pitch do, and we are here to bridge that gap.
The moments nobody prepares you for
A release. A step up to the first team. An injury. A loss of form. A long spell on the bench. Footballers are expected to know how to deal with everything that comes their way. Nobody praises you for dealing well with it all, and nobody tells you how. We are told to train hard in the gym to build muscle. We are told to train hard on the training pitch to improve the team. But we aren’t told to train the psychological side of the game, and this could be the difference for YOU.
What the support looks like
It’s the 4 week Transition Programme: Four weekly 1-2-1 conversations, on going WhatsApp support in between and a clear plan built around you. We use data tools to identify patterns and improved mindset. Some players sign up for one month, others have been working with us for almost a year. The idea behind the 4 week blocks is to put the ball in your court. No pressure. See if Beyond The Pitch is for you and then we can discuss the next steps in your career.
Why it works
The support comes from someone who has lived through it all. The highs and the lows. Sam is a Level 3 Counsellor and has a Postgraduate Degree in Psychology, Emotional Intelligence & Leadership and has helped players of all levels and ages. Send us a message to find out more about BTP, such as our data analysis tool and how this can improve your performance on the pitch.
Let's have a conversation.
Player, parent, club or school - the first chat is free, private, and comes with no pressure. Tell me what's going on and I'll come back to you personally.
