Because Career Advice Isn’t Enough
Most people don’t miss out because they’re lazy or unmotivated.
They miss out because they’re overwhelmed, under-supported, or stuck in the wrong advice loop.
That’s why we built the Essentials Series—a set of no-nonsense, action-first career guides that cut through the noise and help you move.
Each book tackles one of the critical moments in a person’s journey—FIND, APPLY, NETWORK, FOCUS, and DEVELOP—and gives you sharp tactics to get ahead in real, competitive environments.
No waffle. No long-winded theory. Just straight-up strategy.
Built for People Who Want to Do, Not Just Learn
We don’t write books to be read once and shelved.
We write books to be used.
Each one is packed with insight, challenges, and calls to action.
Not a checklist. Not a textbook.
A practical, confidence-building edge—whether you’re applying for your first job in football, switching careers, or trying to figure out what’s next.
Why They Work
We’re qualified. We’re experienced. We’re trusted.
We’ve delivered over 800 sessions in professional sport.
We’ve coached, taught, hired, supported, and guided people through every career stage—from grassroots to elite level.
We know the systems. We know what gets missed.
And we know what makes the difference when it’s down to the final few names in a shortlist.
These guides are that difference.
What’s Inside
FIND – How to uncover hidden roles, track opportunities before they go public, and move faster than the scroll-happy crowd.
APPLY – How to build an application that actually stands out—without gimmicks, generic CVs or vague “passion.”
NETWORK – How to build real relationships in a small industry without cringing, forcing it, or performing.
FOCUS – How to stop drifting, start narrowing in, and make decisions that feel aligned and energised.
DEVELOP – How to build long-term skills, confidence and identity beyond any one job, club, or career stage.
Ready to Level Up?
You don’t need more generic advice.
You need tactics. Strategy. A guide that speaks your language and respects your ambition.
The Essentials Series was built for people like you—people who want to build something real.
Get the edge. Grab the guide.
And let’s make your next move count.
