MLS establishes Player Engagement to provide pivotal resources to players at every career stage

Even before a player signs his first contract, Major League Soccer is committed to supporting every step in a player’s journey, on and off the field.

MLS today unveiled a player engagement initiative that provides valuable resources to players as they progress through their playing careers. From mental health services, to educational resources and career development opportunities, MLS is providing comprehensive support through strategic partnerships with industry leaders that will change the way MLS players approach life before, during, and after the game.

Led by MLS Vice President of Player Engagement, Dr. Jamil Northcutt, the strategy focuses on equipping players to succeed now and beyond the game.
