Julian Ferdinand is a proud father. He had a front row seat to see two of his boys Rio and Anton reach the pinnacle of global football. Both became Premier League players, and Rio is one of the most celebrated players in the history of England's men's national team.

Basically, the Ferdinand family understands the power of football better than most.

However, they also understand that most players will never achieve that height of success. And that doesn't take anything away from the power of the sport. it can change lives regardless of the level to which you play the game.

That's why Julian started the Ferdinand Collective, harnessing the positive power of football to give young people a sense of identity and community so that they develop as people as well as players. A place where they can belong.

They are providing players an alternative path to stay in the game through a variety of member clubs. Central to this is the concept of empowering the player and building the person. As such, the Ferdinands are deploying PlayerData's GPS technology across several of their member clubs. This speaks to the family's unwavering commitment to providing athletes with the proper toold to reach their full potential.
