Players can access this network via Aidan Hobson. Players have the option of one-off meetings with members of the network or putting together longer-term plans which include time spent in companies or frequent meetings across industries and regions. To identify need players will work with Aidan Hobson who will then identify a programme of support. It is common for players initially to travel to Auckland for concentrated blocks of learning time which are then complemented by follow up in the regions with local ‘mentors’.

There are four main areas of 1-1 support:

Introductions to companies and organisations that support athletes by offering learning 'scholarships' in their businesses

Introductions to individual business people in industries, roles and occupations of interest for the athlete

Introductions to business owners and business mentors for athletes who are starting up, running or reviewing their own businesses

Introductions to professional athlete services such as financial management, risk management, public relations and education.
