SUPPORTING PLAYERS THROUGH RECOVERY

Playerbook is a player-led support network built to help professional footballers navigate the challenges of injury.

01


We connect injured players with players who have successfully returned from the same injury. We also operate as an independent referral hub making sure PFA members are aware of all the therapeutic services the PFA provide.

02


Recovering from injury can be physically demanding but it can also be mentally isolating. While medical professionals play a vital role in rehabilitation, there is real value in speaking to someone who has experienced the same journey firsthand.

03

Built on an ecosystem of former and current players, Playerbook exists to allow injured players to get the support they need through genuine conversations and shared experiences.
