Better support around a player. A clearer direction for a club. Development starts by understanding the people involved.

Meet Zisan.
Play in the Present was founded by Zisan Abedin. His experience brings together playing, coaching, club leadership and development planning, alongside a professional background in people experience and wellbeing.
That combination shapes the approach: understand what people are experiencing, agree what would help, put it into practice and follow up.
Clubs have different ambitions, resources and demands on volunteers' time. Players have different strengths, concerns and ways of learning. Support starts with those realities.
We agree a clear piece of work around your needs. Workshops, sponsorship support and tours can form part of a wider development plan when they serve a useful purpose.
