Who are we?
Professional sport can bring incredible opportunities – but it also comes with unique pressures, unpredictable career paths, and financial decisions that often have to be made very early in life.
For many young athletes, the journey moves fast, and there’s little time to stop and think about long-term planning. That’s why financial education, coaching, and wellbeing support aren’t just “nice to have” – they’re essential tools for building a secure future, both during and after a sporting career. Understanding how to manage money, protect income, and prepare for life beyond sport gives athletes real control and peace of mind, and that positively impacts performance, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
It’s not just young or up-and-coming athletes who benefit from our work either – we also support seasoned professionals who are navigating their careers, and the next steps. Whether it's planning for life after retirement from sport, managing wealth more sustainably, or making big life decisions like property, business ventures or family planning, we’re here to offer independent, trustworthy guidance. We understand that even experienced athletes can feel uncertain about money, especially as their priorities shift. Our coaching and workshops provide a safe, confidential space to reflect, plan and feel more in control of the future – without pressure, judgement or sales talk.
How do we differ?
At Red Star Education, we don’t sell financial products, and we’re not here to give one-size-fits-all advice.
What we offer is impartial, relatable, and practical education that’s completely tailored to the athlete's world. We understand the reality of short career spans, sudden injuries, pressure from external voices, and the challenges of navigating wealth at a young age. We bring compassion, expertise and humour into what can often feel like a complicated or intimidating subject. We know how to build trust and create a space where athletes feel genuinely safe to ask questions and explore their relationship with money.
We’re proud to be trusted by some of the biggest names in global sport because we’ve proven that we “get it”. We’ve been doing this for years, and we’ve seen the real impact our sessions have – not just in helping athletes make smarter decisions, but in giving them the confidence to take ownership of their future. Whether we’re working one-to-one, delivering workshops in academies, or supporting teams across the UK, we’re always led by one core belief: financial education should empower, not overwhelm.
