A career in football is made up of much more than just performance on the field.
Choices, opportunities, club changes, positioning, communication, professional development, and plans for the future are also part of this journey.
I accompany athletes in building these paths, helping them organize goals, envision possibilities, and develop aspects of their careers that need attention outside of training.
You might be going through a good phase and still not know what the next step should be. You might receive an opportunity and not know if it really makes sense for your career at this point. You might want to play abroad, but still need to develop your language skills, network, or prepare for that move. Or you might realize that your image and positioning have started to gain importance, without knowing exactly how to manage it.
And that's precisely where my support comes in.
Our work directly supports strategic planning, goals, national and international opportunities, languages, networking, mindset, brand, and positioning as key aspects of career development.
Management starts with the athlete's current situation and the goals she wants to achieve. From there, different areas of her career can be developed together.
To develop preparedness to deal with choices, changes, challenges, and different career stages.
Organize your goals and build a clearer vision of the next steps in your journey.
Working on how you communicate, present yourself, and build your professional presence both inside and outside of football.
Develop professional relationships and enhance preparedness to identify and evaluate career opportunities.
To prepare individuals with important skills for those seeking opportunities in other countries and professional contexts.
To develop skills that support the athlete throughout different phases of their sporting career.
From invitation to the stage
First, I need to understand where you are. We'll talk about your career path, current professional situation, goals, challenges, and what you envision for the future.
We organize what needs attention now. Based on your goals, we identify priorities and career aspects that need development.
Your career continues to unfold. So does your work. Monitoring allows you to review decisions, work on new issues, and adjust your direction as your career path evolves.
I was a professional player and coach, accumulating experience in six countries. I have a degree in Sports Management and Public Relations Today, my work focuses on communication, development, and career management in women's soccer. This combination allows me to look at a career not only from the perspective of what happens during a match, but also from the choices and preparation that accompany an athlete throughout their journey.
I am familiar with the decisions, changes, and challenges that are part of this journey.
Communication, image, and positioning integrated into career building.
Performance focused on the professional planning and development of athletes.
Experience in football in six countries and contact with different contexts of international football.
Mindset, decision-making, planning, communication, and positioning are all part of building a sports career. In career management, I address these issues based on the reality of each group, creating space to develop skills that athletes also need to take outside of training and competition.
To provide a broader overview of your career path. This work considers different areas and stages of your career, connecting planning, professional development, positioning, and preparation for the next steps.
It is a program focused on planning and developing the athlete's professional career path. It may involve defining objectives, next steps, personal and professional development, communication, positioning, networking, and preparing for opportunities.
Yes. Mentoring is one of the ways to work with athletes and can be geared towards specific career issues, such as planning, mindset, professional development, communication, positioning, and preparation for opportunities.
Mentoring can be tailored to a specific need or moment in the athlete's life. Career management, on the other hand, allows for working on different aspects of their career path in a broader way and monitoring their progress over time.
No. The work can make sense at different points in a career path, including for athletes in training who are beginning to think about football as a career and for professionals who need to organize their next steps.
Preparing for international opportunities can be part of the job. Languages, networking, communication, adaptation, and professional development are among the skills that can be worked on according to the athlete's goals.
Yes. Building a career also involves how the athlete communicates, develops their image, and positions themselves professionally both within and outside of football.
Mentoring programs have investment. from R$ 1.500. The format and final cost depend on the athlete's current situation, goals, and the necessary support.
The value of R$ 1.500/program It's in the original briefing; I would specifically leave it as the price of mentoring, not as a generic price for career management.
If you want to better understand the moment you are living in, organize your next steps, and prepare for the opportunities and decisions that may arise, we can start with a conversation.
