Helping All Athletes Find Their Answers
Whether retirement from sport is planned or unplanned, the Next Step READY Elite Athlete Training Programme, helps Athletes and Para-Athletes find their own answers to three fundamental questions:
- What will my IDENTITY be?
- What VALUE do I bring?
- What are my CHOICES?
Looking to find the right career, wanting to set up their own business or just want to have a great plan for when the time comes, Next Step READY helps Athletes shape their IDENTITY, articulate their VALUE and explore their CHOICES.
