Until I was actually going through it, I realised how unprepared I was emotionally and mentally to deal with it. I suffered from all the classic symptoms of former athletes, anxieties around finances, a drop in salary, and also trying to change my whole identity away from something you have put your whole life into. Because I was in control of making the decision to step away, I don&#8217;t think I struggled too much, but there is definitely a lack of routine. As a professional athlete, you are told where to be, what position to play, what to eat, and ultimately what cone to run around, so when you don&#8217;t have structure anymore, you have to try and find it for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>How do you feel about the support network put in place for the modern athlete for preparation after the game?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor 12 months, I was in a bit of a state of feeling lost, and a little bit unsupported by the industry that I had poured so much into. The PFA (Professional Footballers Association) tries to do things, but I think they only really kick in when you have fallen off a cliff. I think they wait until the worst-case scenario before all of their brilliant services kick in; that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m aiming to do with the business I have set up. At MOJOE, we want to be a proactive service that you haven&#8217;t had to fall into that disillusioned state before you receive the support that you need. I believe it will change is only when people start to link arms and do things as a collective, create a bit of a movement around the athlete. I think the PFA does education in general very well, but the career preparation is something which needs a lot of development.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1588\" height=\"1191\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.10.22-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-881 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.10.22-edited.png 1588w, https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.10.22-edited-1280x960.png 1280w, https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.10.22-edited-980x735.png 980w, https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.10.22-edited-480x360.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1588px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1588px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1588\/1191;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mock-up of how the MOJOE website will look,<em> Photo courtesy of Joe Davis<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How do you think players are viewed by teams, governing bodies, agents, etc?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe visions of sport and all the above are that it is a business, and it&#8217;s very difficult for them not to see pro footballers and athletes as assets. As soon as they are no longer valued, there is a mentality that they are no longer wanted. I think there is a sell-by date on every athlete, and once that runs out, they are pushed to one side, and it&#8217;s difficult to challenge that because it is a business. Some clubs are trying to think outside the box and be forward-thinking, but not enough, and I think they are waiting for somebody like ourselves, an external body, someone outside of their sport, to come in and support, and hopefully that&#8217;s where we plug that gap.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"638\" height=\"851\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.08.00-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-885 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.08.00-edited.png 638w, https:\/\/sidelinesmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-17.08.00-edited-480x640.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 638px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 638px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 638\/851;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joe Davis wrestles in the air against a Plymouth player, <em>Photo courtesy of Joe Davis<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p><strong><em>Why do you think support might be falling short?&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom a club angle, it [athlete support] is an underresourced and undersupported area, it has become a tickbox exercise for a lot of clubs.
