Staying Human in the Game - Release. Restart.
Release. Restart. is a digital emotional support resource for young people and families navigating football academy release, deselection or rejection.
One purchase gives access to two separate learning experiences in the Simply Human Learning Space:
• Young People: direct, age-appropriate support to help make sense of what has happened, understand difficult feelings, separate self-worth from football’s decision and take the next small step.
• Parent & Carer: guidance to help adults understand the emotional impact of release and support their young person without rushing to fix what has happened.
The resource includes:
• short, manageable lessons
• audio reflections
• practical support and conversation guidance
• a 7-Day Emotional Reset for young people
• reflection prompts
• support and signposting
For Clubs & Academies
Release. Restart. is also available for clubs, academies and Leistungszentren wishing to provide emotional support to young people and families navigating release, deselection or rejection.
Organisational access can support individual families, small cohorts or a wider player-care programme and includes access to both the Young People and Parent & Carer resources.

This is not a football performance resource. It is a human resource.
Access is provided through the Simply Human Learning Space after purchase.
