The RPA provide support, guidance and advice to our members, developing their plans for life after rugby and strategies to alleviate the pressures of professional sport, including coping with long term injury.
We deliver a programme of educational and vocational opportunities for our members via four regional Player Development Managers (PDM’s), who work one-to-one with players at all 12 Guinness Premiership clubs.
Some of the areas covered by our PDMs include sourcing flexible education providers, and structured work placements, business mentoring, networking, job searching and interview skills.
