The Best Self Blueprint:
Science-Backed Tools for Thriving
BetterMan and The Wellbeing Works have teamed up and developed a comprehensive two day Athlete Transition Course for players who are recently retired or in the latter stages of their sporting career.
The Best Self Blueprint course is now available for non-athletes too – anyone or any team looking for a powerful two day programme to help you thrive in all areas of life.
The course combines proven strategies from high-performance sport, positive psychology and neuroscience.
Whether you're a retiring athlete looking to conquer new challenges or someone committed to self-improvement, The Best Self Blueprint will enhance your wellbeing and performance.
You’ll come away with a comprehensive toolkit applicable to all areas of your life, a personalised action plan and connections with like-minded people.
For retiring athletes, the course has been designed to equip you with the essential skills to successfully navigate the transition from a highly structured sporting career to your next chapter.
For all participants, you'll learn in an incredibly fun, engaging and interactive way, with high energy, camaraderie and many ‘aha moments’.

“There is absolutely a need for this course. I had not previously considered what I would lose in the sense of wellbeing once I stopped playing sport so this has helped bring that into focus and provide tools and strategies to maintain positivity and strengthen relationships.”
— Nick Haig, NZ Olympian, former captain Black Sticks men’s hockey team.
“It was awesome, not once did I feel like checking my phone for time or feel like it was boring. I was in my flow state and really got a lot out of it. Food was awesome, venue was good and the people on the course were all in a similar path.”
– Jacob Ellison, former Māori All Black and Hurricanes player.
