The Player Care Group, led by Hugo Scheckter, is committed to providing holistic support for football players, focusing on personal development, welfare, and off-field organisation. Hugo's journey into player care began unexpectedly during his coaching stint in America, where he discovered his talent for off-field operations and player support. His role transitioned from team operations management to becoming a key figure in player care within Premier League clubs like Southampton.
Hugo strongly emphasises personal growth and welfare, prioritizing these aspects over operational tasks. He aims to equip players with vital life skills that extend beyond their football careers. Through his consultancy work, Hugo customises player care strategies to meet the specific needs of each club, placing importance on proactive support and adaptation to diverse cultural contexts. His approach highlights the importance of fostering trust and authenticity among players, clubs, and the broader football community, ultimately aiming to improve players' overall well-being and performance both on and off the field.
