Evolve & Thrive IS BACK - this time for Rugby Union

Our flagship offering is back, and we’re over the moon. Powered by Champions 2003 we are offering up to 20 Rugby Union players access to 12 months of personalised support. This unique learning and development journey is designed exclusively for Rugby Union players; combining mentoring, immersive group events, and real-world skills to prepare you for life beyond the game. FREE OF CHARGE

Why This Programme?

Transitioning out of rugby can be complex, challenging and unsettling. It can also be a time of excitement. Regardless, we’re here to help. We’re here to support, and we’re here to hold space. This programme will help you:

  • Find clarity on your next chapter. Understand who you are and who you want to be.
  • Build skills for new careers, self-leadership, and life.
  • Connect to a wider support network
  • Grow personally and build excitement about what's to come

 

The programme will cover a wide range of topics, including Identity, Mental Health, Networking, Transferable Skills, Brand, Financial Wellbeing, Resilience, Personal Development, and much more. Additionally, athletes on the programme will gain access to carefully selected mentors who have been there and done it - these mentors will support you on every step of your journey.

The Spirit of Rugby, Off the Pitch

This isn’t just a course. We’ll go deep into real life challenges, and tackle them head-on. It’s a chance to continue your journey, surrounded by the same camaraderie, challenge, and sense of purpose that rugby gave you. If you lean in, you’ll excel. Molly did…

“The Evolve &Thrive program, along with the StP Team, has opened my eyes and helped me navigate both the challenges I’ve faced and those still to come. More than anything, it’s the sense of connection and genuine support among everyone involved that’s made the biggest difference”

Molly Saunders, Retired Rugby Player
