Make job search work for you
Turn a broad, stressful search into a focused weekly routine.
What makes these clubs unique is that the coach weighs each player before their game and supports them to make healthy lifestyle changes. Players earn bonus goals for their weight loss so the league is decided not only on points won, but pounds lost.
The clubs have been hugely successful with players losing hundreds of thousands of lbs since the programme launched in January 2016 - this has led to the FA and Sport England endorsing our work and supporting the programme. We now have over 150 clubs across the UK and over 30 MAN v FAT Soccer clubs in the United States.
