About Players Development Club

The creation of the Players Development Club was a natural progression in Eric’s career, born from a deep-seated desire to impart his knowledge, wisdom, and experience. PDC is more than a training ground; it's a nurturing space where sports clubs and teams globally can receive development coaching and learn to foster a winning culture. But at the heart of Eric's vision is his role as a guide, development and mindset coach, dedicated to helping athletes navigate the complex and often demanding journey of sports and life.
Beyond his coaching and mentoring endeavors, Eric is a staunch advocate for mental and emotional well-being in young athletes. He is deeply committed to combating the mental and emotional health crises that too often over shadow sports careers. Through his work, he provides young athletes with the essential tools to not only excel in their sporting endeavors but also to thrive in life.
Eric's philosophy is simple yet profound: "In my quest to become a great leader, I thought the simplest way to improve the world was to help develop young athletes to become better women, men, and leaders." This belief was the catalyst for the Players Development Club and is the driving force behind his book, "The Blueprint For Young Athletes." Eric Bell is not just shaping the future of sports; he is molding the future leaders of tomorrow.
