Inspired by his own recovery from alcoholism and founded in 2000; Sporting Chance Clinic is the brainchild of former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams MBE. Based on his experience, and what he felt was lacking, Tony saw the need for a safe, dedicated environment, where sportsmen and women could receive support and counselling for the kinds of destructive behaviour patterns that exist in the world of competitive sport, but that are often denied.
Sporting Chance Clinic has since developed into one of the world's most innovative centres for the treatment of behavioural problems among professional and amateur sports people.
We also run a successful Lifestyle Education Seminar, designed to give young athletes the information and tools they need to avoid the pitfalls and destructive behaviour patterns which can develop in the pressure-cooker world of professional sport. We are proud to be an integral tool for a number of football clubs and other sporting organisations including the
PFA, English and Scottish Premier Leagues, League Football Education (LFE) and SPFA.
Located in Forest Mere, Hampshire, (click for map) Sporting Chance Clinic benefits from the high quality facilities supplied by Champneys and enjoys the 158-acre site of outstanding natural beauty.
“
Sporting Chance is absolutely up there with all the medals I’ve ever won, the England cap and everything. I’m very proud of what I created here.”
