Abstract

The NZRPA recently conducted a survey of former professional players with the aim of better understanding the challenges, opportunities and issues faced by players as they prepare for, and transition from, professional rugby to life after their playing days.

 

Using the insight gained from this study, we endeavour to offer guidance and advice across these core areas to help you best prepare you for this career transition period:

  • Career planning
  • Education
  • Medical welfare
  • Personal welfare,
  • Financial planning.
