πΉDue to injury concerns, Fulham dropped Max Noble as a teenager. Now, his organization, Certified Sports, is advocating for improved protection of children in football academies, portraying their plight in the powerful film 'Dropped'...
πΉHe addresses a topic that is sometimes disregarded. Max prioritizes three areas: a safer workplace, a proper after-care system, and better working circumstances in everyday life. He emphasizes the value of experienced career counselors mentoring young players, leading them through school, training, and employment opportunities, and encouraging them to take the initial step.

πΉ"A study plan that prepares every young person for the new world should also bring with it former players and their experiences."
πThis is the tool we want to give to young athletes, offering them One Two One Two. It is about looking through a different prism, a magic ball to safely peer into a parallel world, where careless everyday decisions do not lead to real issues, fines and stress. The opportunity to see a different outcome of events. The opportunity to arm oneself with information that many of their peers, and even professionals, never had. The opportunity to develop skills that will help make decisions regardless of what happens on the pitch.

π The final whistle doesn't just mark the end of a game; it can signal the start of a whole new challenge for athletes.
πΉAfter retiring, many athletes face a tough transition. The income tap turns off, and they lose the support system that clubs provide.
πΉDespite their earnings, financial struggles can loom large. Studies show that 1 in 3 athletes face divorce within a year of retirement.
πΉMental health concerns also weigh heavy. The loss of a career can be like losing a part of oneself. FIFPro estimates that 35% of retired athletes encounter depression and anxiety.
πΉPlanning for retirement often takes a back seat until it's right around the corner.
π One Two One Two isn't about skills on the field; it's exactly about life skills. How can we better prepare athletes for life beyond the game? What solutions can we offer to ease this transition? π

πΉHowever, Neville also learned some important lessons from this experience. When facing challenges, it is important to:
π₯1
1οΈβ£Share your experience. Neville was open about seeking help from a sports psychologist and sharing the lessons he learned from this experience. This has helped others facing similar challenges.
2οΈβ£Ask yourself a series of questions. Like Neville did, ask yourself questions like βCan I expect every day to be a good day?β This will help you understand that challenges are normal and can be overcome.
3οΈβ£Learn and move on. Donβt be afraid to make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and try to do better in the future.
πΉFacing challenges is not easy, but it is not impossible. Nevilleβs story shows that you can find the strength you need to overcome challenges within yourself.

π§π· Gilberto Silva, former Arsenal and Brazil midfielder, is the newest ambassador for suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
In an interview with Daily Cannon, Silva spoke about his passion for mental health awareness and his commitment to fighting social media abuse.
π¬βI know sometimes when you are in trouble, when you face some difficulties in life and you donβt have anybody to share them with, anybody to help you out, and you donβt have anybody to count on, to listen to you, this is so hard,β Silva said.
π¬βBut with the work of CALM, they have helped so many people. I hope that we can deliver this message all over the world to reach those people that believe βthere is no other way for me, I am alone, I donβt know what to doβ.
π² Silva also spoke about the importance of being respectful on social media.

βPeopleβs behaviour on social media sometimes drives people to anxiety, to a terrible day,β he said. βStop it. Donβt listen to those people. Players, for example, as we have seen, a lot have been abused on social media. Donβt read them, block them. Simple as that.β
πΉSilvaβs new role as an ambassador for CALM is a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

πMuchaga Bakenga "I always thought if I was struggling mentally that I would know about it and do something to change the way I was feeling, but it doesnβt always work like that. And the more players I was talking to about this, the more common an issue I realised that it was. If there had been someone to talk to at the time β a dedicated professional to help me unpack my feelings and frustrations β I think I would have been able to address the situation in a much healthier way."

π«What happens to individuals who don't "make it" in football, and does it effectively prepare them for life and alternative careers?
There are around 3,500 boys in Premier League academies alone. Kofi Anokye-Boadi, 20, is a member of London's football youth development system. He grew up in a Peckham council estate and saw football as a method of escape. At the London Youth Games, he played alongside Arsenal's Reiss Nelson and Jadon Sancho, one of the world's greatest young players. Kofi was scouted by two separate academies to play for them. At 14, he lost his father to cancer and struggled with football, as well as the added strain of having to provide for his mother.He believes that academies can be uncaring places at times. "They expect you to 'grow up, man up' when you're on the field, when you get fouled -'man up, it's not that hard, it's not that bad.'" But for some of us, it's more than just a'man up' issue.
βSometimes it's a case of I'm going through something here and need some assistance. I understand that it's a very male game with tough competition, but it's not always easy for some of us mentally. Sometimes all you need is an arm over your shoulders."

β½David Villa is hanging up his boots, but his story is far from over. While many celebrate his incredible career, it's important to remember the challenges that many athletes face after they retire.
πΉFrom financial difficulties to mental health struggles, the transition from the field to the "real world" can be tough. That's why it's so important for organizations like the Professional Football Association (PFA) to provide support and resources to athletes during this critical time.
πΉThe PFA offers a variety of programs and services, including career counseling, financial planning, and mental health support. They also work to raise awareness of the challenges that athletes face, so that we can all do our part to help them make a smooth transition into retirement.
πSo let's celebrate David Villa's amazing career, but let's also remember the importance of supporting all athletes, both during their playing days and after they retire.
πOne Two One Two isn't your typical athlete support platform. We believe that success extends far beyond the final whistle, and that's why we're here for every young athlete, whether they're signing a pro contract or just chasing their dreams.
