Helping young players make better financial decisions.
A professional contract can give a young player financial responsibility before they have had the opportunity to develop financial confidence.
Clean Sheet works with Player Care teams at professional football clubs to deliver simple, practical financial education for Under-21 and Academy players. We use our combined experience as ex-footballers and now finance professionals to relate to the players and the challenges they will face throughout their careers.
Through this, you give them a strong foundation to make informed financial decisions.
Built around the realities of football.
Generic financial education often fails to reflect the realities of a footballer's career. Our sessions use football-related scenarios to help players understand decisions they may face, including:
The content is practical, age-appropriate, and delivered in straightforward language.
- Their first professional contract
- Regular vs irregular income
- The power of compounding
- Tax as a set of moving parts
- Life beyond football
How we think about financial education.
Practical, not theoretical
Every session is designed around a scenario players may encounter through their career. We focus on skills they can use immediately.
Supportive of Player Care
We work alongside your club's Player Care team, applying our specialist experience to improve players' financial literacy.
Skills that last beyond football
Players build an understanding of the fundamentals and develop habits that will support them through their careers and into retirement.
A single workshop, or an ongoing programme.
Relationships can begin with a single workshop or form part of an ongoing financial education programme.
- Group workshops for Under-21 and Academy players
- Financial wellbeing drop-in clinics
- Sessions including parents and guardians
- Bespoke sessions responding to emerging risks or player needs
We define the audience, delivery, and objectives of each session with you in advance.
Ex-professionals.
Finance professionals.
Sessions are led by ex-professional footballers and finance professionals who understand both player welfare and the financial realities of a football career.
That combination matters. The best education is technically sound, but it must also reflect the pressures young players face inside and outside the club.
Our approach is grounded in realism, accessibility, and led through discussion. Players are encouraged to ask questions and challenge assumptions as they learn.
Strengthen the financial support available to your players.
If you are reviewing your financial education provision or would like to add practical sessions to your Player Care programme, we would be pleased to have a conversation.
