My affairs are managed by Essel Sports Management, which has a special division dedicated to providing support to footballers as well as a specialised sports marketing division.
Fifty years ago, great athletes were still essentially amateurs, occasionally earning a few pennies here and there. These days, top sportspeople are corporate entities in their own right. This means that there is constantly a multitude of issues requiring their attention, things coming at them from unexpected angles, often at the most inconvenient moments.
If you are a leading athlete, it is essential that you surround yourself with the right people to take care of your business interests. First and foremost, you need people you can trust, and professional specialists who can allow you to focus completely on achieving your sporting targets. This might all sound simple enough, but the past is littered with examples of the many potential pitfalls that, if not successfully navigated, can cause athletes plenty of unwanted anxiety and stress, and can undermine their ability to perform at their peak.
Success is a choice
Here at Essel we understand the fundamental importance of making choices. Making choices allows for peace of mind and self-empowerment, which in turn enables us to be ourselves and be at our best. Great athletes need this peace of mind to reach peak performances. We enable our clients to make choices, whether they involve sporting matters, commercial opportunities or financial affairs.
It is tough to stand out from the crowd. The line between being a mere contender and being the winner is a fine one, and it is all in the detail. Those who master that fundamental wisdom have the recipe for success at their fingertips. They are the ones blessed with focus and peace of mind; they are the ones have made their choices…
In short, SUCCESS IS A CHOICE.
