Human First supports athletes through the personal and psychological challenges that can accompany transition. Rather than starting with career planning or employment,

its programmes focus on helping athletes understand who they are beyond sport and navigate the loss, uncertainty and identity change that can occur when a sporting chapter

comes to an end.

Before athletes can focus on what they will do next, many first need support to understand who they are without sport. Human First creates opportunities for athletes to reflect, build self-awareness and connect with others experiencing similar challenges.

The residential retreats create space to explore identity, purpose and future direction through reflection, conversation and shared experience. By stepping away from the pressures of performance, athletes can spend time considering who they are, what matters to them and how they want to approach the future.
