ADDITIONAL OPENLEARN RESOURCES THROUGH THE PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS FEDERATION

The Professional Players Federation is an organisation that brings together a number of Professional Associations to focus on cross-sport issues that affect all professional sportspeople such as education, career transitioning, match fixing, mental health and anti-doping.

There is a useful resource page on the PPF’s website (click here) which has links to a wider range of OpenLearn courses that might be of interest to LET members.
