WHAT CONSULTING COVERS
A structured view of every decision.
From the first scholarship to the years after playing.
Pathway planning
Where the player is, where they could be, and the realistic routes between the two.
Education & dual career
Scholarships, study abroad and qualifications that keep doors open beyond the game.
Environment review
Understanding what a club, academy or programme will demand before any decision is made.
Family briefings
Plain-language sessions so parents understand the system their child is moving through.
Relocation & logistics
Practical planning for moves between cities and countries: housing, schooling, routine.
Life after playing
Early, unhurried planning for the second career, long before it is needed.

WHO IT IS FOR
Players at every stage, and the families of younger players.
Typical moments we are asked to help with:
Leaving an academy, or being offered a scholarship
Choosing between study abroad and staying in the system
The first professional season and everything around it
Returning from injury, or planning life after playing
HOW WE WORK
Considered, and selective.
Every engagement follows the same four stages.
01
Conversation
A private first meeting to understand the person, the family and the moment.
02
Assessment
We map where things stand: sporting, personal, commercial.
03
Plan
A written plan with clear priorities, owners and review points.
04
Accompaniment
We stay alongside as the plan meets real life, adjusting as the career moves.

A CLEAR BOUNDARY
CM-TM does not negotiate playing contracts or transfers. Our work sits beside those decisions, never inside them.
