I’m Dr Chris Platts, a career coach working in professional football. I have a PhD examining the lives of 303 young footballers and am the author of the largest independent study into the career trajectories of professional players. Now, I disseminate the insights from this data to young players and their families allowing them to predict the future, navigate their careers and reduce the stress that negatively impacts performances. My end goal is to have all players and their families enjoying their time in football, safe in the knowledge that whether they get a professional contract or not, they will thrive in life
