We are extremely proud to be partnered with the Switch The Play Foundation to enhance successful transitions of sportspeople into new careers in health and fitness.
Preparing for life after a career as a sportsperson can feel daunting. However, with the right career plan and funding, it doesn’t have to be. Switch The Play and Future Fit Training help to support all sportspeople to successfully transition into life outside of sport. Insight shows that there is a demand from sportspeople to explore career pathways within the fitness, nutrition and health space, including access to training in Personal Training, Nutrition, Pilates, Strength and Conditioning and more.
This new collaboration will see opportunities to support a new wave of talented fitness professionals ready to make their mark in the industry, while simultaneously providing training and support essential to the career transition of sportspeople.
With 90% of sportspeople needing to work in “normal” jobs after retirement, there is a huge need for a partnership of this nature to help sportspeople to explore different career pathway opportunities. Future Fit Training intends to contribute to the incredible work of the Switch the Play Foundation by helping the reported 1 in 2 ex-players who feel their lives are not in their control on leaving sport, take the necessary steps to a successful transition into a sustainable career after professional retirement.
Transitioning from life as a sportsperson and changing career is a big step; so it would be sensible to follow a proven path that can provide you with an income within a reasonable timeframe – our courses do exactly this.
The fitness industry is currently worth over £5 billion with nearly 400,000 jobs growing at 19% in the last 5 years*. There are a variety of opportunities available within the industry: fitness instructors, personal trainers, fitness managers, assistant managers, tutors, educators, gym and franchise owners, to name but a few!
