Services We Offer
Athlete Career Design
You spent years mastering your sport. Now it is time to bring that same focus to your next chapter. Athlete Career Design is a 7-week group programme that takes you from uncertainty to clarity, helping you identify what you stand for, what you are good at, and what a career you actually love looks like. You will not do it alone. You will do it alongside people who understand exactly where you are coming from.
Speaking & Workshops
Whether you are addressing a team of young athletes, a corporate audience, or a room of fellow professionals in transition, Ryan brings the lived experience of elite sport and financial services together in a way that is honest, practical, and genuinely motivating. Available for keynotes, panel sessions, and tailored workshops
Lifestyle & Career Coaching
Life after sport is not just a career question, it is an identity question. Our coaching programme helps former athletes rebuild confidence, find direction, and create a life with the same sense of purpose and momentum they had on the pitch, court, or track. One to one, structured, and built around you.
"An amazing 78 percent of NFL players find themselves bankrupt or financially stressed within two years of retirement. And 60 percent of NBA players are broke within five years of walking off the court."
