Member Benefits

What are Power Skills?

Power skills are the type of skills elite athletes already have and use on the pitch every day. We're talking about leadership, communication, team work as well as discipline, resilience and grit. Outside of football, athletes need to learn how to adapt these skills to another type of game - life.

From identity loss and financial uncertainty to finding purpose and building confidence, we give players more tools and connections to take control of their next chapter.
