As part of our onboarding process, an advisor will meet with the player and/or parent or guardian either virtually or in person to gain a clear understanding of the player’s goals and expectations. Following this consultation, a bespoke programme will be designed and priced accordingly.
By engaging with our mentorship programme, you acknowledge and accept that pricing is individualised based on the player’s aims and requirements and that no fixed or standard pricing applies.
