Achieving the mission together
Donate to support young players' mental and physical health. Support the The Next Goal™ project - with professional video podcasts; training sessions and presentations on site and practical support for parents & children. In partnership with Transformate, the ANBI-registered charitable foundation of Helpgoed.nl that helps young people develop their talents and make their dreams come true.
The problem
More and more young people are experiencing stress, pressure to perform and insecurity. At the same time, we are seeing a rise in unhealthy lifestyle choices, including too little sleep, a lack of exercise and the normalisation of smoking and vaping. This is precisely the stage when identity, character and the future take shape. Young people need role models, direction and practical tools, not just theory.
The solution
Through The Next Goal™, Rob reaches young people with a powerful video podcast and online platform. He shares honest stories, life lessons and mentoring drawn from elite sport.
Rob brings:
- credibility built on professional football and coaching
- life experience and mentoring
- a strong network in sport and youth development
Together with Rosaline McDonald (lifestyle coach and behaviour change expert), this is complemented by expertise in:
- lifestyle and prevention
- addictive behaviour (smoking/vaping)
- lasting behaviour change
Unique strength
The strength of this initiative lies in the combination of:
- elite sport + mental strength
- lifestyle + prevention
- character development + identity
- real-life stories + credible role models
Working with Live Life creates a strong community foundation that brings together values, mentoring and development.
