In sport, connection is everything. Whether you’re an athlete chasing your next goal or a practitioner helping others reach theirs, progress depends on the right support, shared values, and a community that understands the journey.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with EdExPro – a platform that shares our vision for raising standards, connecting professionals, and creating meaningful opportunities within the world of sport, health, and performance.
Together, we’re bringing two communities closer: the practitioners who dedicate their lives to helping athletes perform at their best, and the networks that help them grow, learn, and find the right opportunities.
Who Are EdExPro?
EdExPro (short for Education – Experience – Professional) is a UK-based platform designed to connect people and organizations within sport, health, and wellbeing.
They believe that professionals in this space – whether physiotherapists, coaches, nutritionists, psychologists, or performance specialists – deserve tools that go beyond the typical job board. EdExPro helps them build a full picture of who they are, what they can do, and where they want to go.
It’s a platform that celebrates the person behind the profession. Instead of just CVs, users can create rich video profiles, showcase their communication skills, and bring their experience to life. Employers, in turn, gain a clearer sense of each individual – not just their qualifications, but their energy, their values, and their approach.
Beyond recruitment, EdExPro also supports continuing professional development through education and courses that help practitioners keep growing in their careers. They’re passionate about bridging the gap between learning, experience, and professional opportunity – something that deeply aligns with what we do here at Athlete Now.
Shared Values, Shared Vision
At Athlete Now, our mission has always been to create a space where quality and integrity stand at the forefront. We’re a directory and community for sports practitioners and facilities who are dedicated to their craft – and every professional in our network is verified against industry standards.
This isn’t just about creating lists of names; it’s about building trust. For athletes, that means knowing the people they work with are qualified, reliable, and genuine. For practitioners, it means being part of a professional community that values expertise and ethics as much as skill.
That’s why partnering with EdExPro felt like such a natural step. Both of us are committed to giving professionals and athletes more than just exposure – we’re offering them connection, collaboration, and growth.
Why This Partnership Matters
The sports industry is full of incredible talent, but it’s also fragmented. Great practitioners don’t always get seen by the right people, and athletes often struggle to find verified, trustworthy support.
By joining forces with EdExPro, we’re helping to close that gap. Together, we’re creating pathways that make it easier for people to find each other, to learn, to share, and to thrive – all within a space built on quality and credibility.
This partnership brings EdExPro’s growing network of practitioners and employers into contact with our verified community – a meeting point of education, opportunity, and practice. It’s about building a stronger ecosystem where learning leads to real-world experience, and experience leads to lasting professional growth.
In essence, we’re connecting two sides of the same story:
- EdExPro, helping practitioners find their footing, learn, and showcase who they are.
- Athlete Now, helping practitioners reach athletes and organizations who need their expertise.
When those two sides come together, everyone benefits – especially the athletes who sit at the heart of both our missions.
Growing Together
This partnership isn’t just about shared visibility – it’s about co-creating opportunities. We’ll be working closely with EdExPro to highlight the people behind the platforms: the coaches, physios, psychologists, nutritionists, and performance experts who make this industry thrive.
Over the coming months, you’ll see collaborative content that brings fresh insights to both of our audiences – from blogs and interviews to event listings and thought pieces exploring key issues in sport and performance.
We’ll also be shining a spotlight on stories that inspire us: practitioners who’ve turned their education into lasting impact, and athletes whose progress has been guided by the kind of professional connection this partnership makes possible.
Together, we’ll celebrate what makes our industry special – people helping people reach their potential.
Looking Ahead
As our collaboration with EdExPro grows, our goal is simple: to make the pathway from education to practice clearer, fairer, and more accessible for everyone involved in sport.
We believe that when professionals are supported – when their work is valued and their development encouraged, the whole system benefits. Athletes perform better. Teams work smarter. Communities grow stronger.
Partnerships like this remind us that sport isn’t just about competition; it’s about connection. It’s about creating an environment where everyone – from students to seasoned practitioners can learn, evolve, and contribute to something bigger than themselves.
Final Thoughts
At Athlete Now, we’re proud to stand alongside EdExPro in building a better future for sports practitioners and the athletes they support.
Together, we’re not just connecting professionals – we’re connecting purpose. We’re uniting two platforms driven by the same belief: that integrity, education, and community are the cornerstones of lasting success in sport.
This partnership is a step toward a more connected, transparent, and empowering ecosystem – one where every athlete has access to trusted support, and every practitioner has the opportunity to shine.
