Queens Park Rangers:
“Ensuring that our players & their parents/guardians are provided with holistic support, is a key part of our focus at QPR. The PFA Youth Advisory service & PFA Safety Net has provided a platform of knowledge, guidance & confidential support in aspects such as mental health, managing injury & life after football. We will certainly be continuing our partnership with The PFA to best support our players through their academy journey.”
Coventry City:
“The presentation delivered by George and the PFA provided additional information to our Academy players and their families on the support available to them. Having someone outside of the club providing this content is hugely beneficial, as Parents & Guardians have independent avenues to follow should they need anything clarifying regarding their son’s registration.”
