Personal Development Programme
For the Players. By the Players.
The NZPFA prioritises the development of its members as people. Empowering members to continue in the tradition of New Zealand exceptionalism.
Our Personal Development Programme is designed to support and develop outstanding individuals.
-
Education and Careers
The NZPFA is motivated to ensure the holistic development of members and supports the pursuit of continued education. To facilitate these stated aims, the NZPFA has partnered with a New Zealand tertiary education provider with demonstrated history of success facilitating remote learning. Members also have access to industry experts and courses.
-
Financial Services
The experience of members is varied. To maximise each individual’s financial return from professional football, the NZPFA provides access to advisors with expertise in tax, budgeting and financial planning, amongst other areas.
-
Legal
The NZPFA legal team ensures that members have access to a full range of support. Review of agency agreements, support negotiating employment contracts and management dispute resolution, including through the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber.
-
Mental Health and Wellbeing
NZPFA members have access to a suite of wellbeing resources designed to address the demands of professional sport both on and off the pitch and provide critical care for members who require such support.
-
Engagement
The reality for the vast majority of NZPFA members is that success means moving away from New Zealand. This comes with some unique challenges. To support players reaching their on-field best, we have built structures to supplement support networks for overseas members.
