PRESS RELEASE:
The Players Network and The Wellness Universe Launch Exclusive TPN Wellness Academy to Empower Women Footballers On and Off the Field Due to Launch Mid-August
New York, NY – A groundbreaking partnership is set to transform the well-being of professional women footballers. The Players Network (TPN), founded by professional athletes Gabby Cuevas, Samantha Rosette, and Brianne Reed, has teamed up with Anna Pereira, CEO of The Wellness Universe, to launch TPN Wellness Academy, powered by The Wellness Universe. This custom-built portal will provide holistic personal and professional support for women athletes, offering tools to thrive on and off the field.
In an exclusive interview at the partnership signing, Claudia Vilarinho, sports journalist, spoke with co-founder Brianne Reed and Anna Pereira to discuss the impact of this first-of-its-kind wellness initiative. Anna Pereira, CEO of The Wellness Universe, expressed her excitement: “It’s a wonderful network of women players. We are proud to support these women through this exclusive partnership to provide total well-being support. From self-growth classes and stress management to career growth and holistic offerings, our goal is to uplift every aspect of a player’s life, beyond the pitch.” Brianne Reed, co-founder of The Players Network and international footballer for the Dominican Republic, emphasized the value of this resource for current and aspiring pros:
“As a player myself, I know how much mental health and personal well-being matter. Having a platform with highly educated experienced professionals offering resources for players is going to be truly beneficial. TPN Wellness Academy will give women access to workshops, programs, and expert practitioners to elevate their mental, emotional, and professional lives.” Reed further highlighted the importance of building a foundation of wellness for the next generation of athletes: “I think it’s probably the foundation. Even if people don’t realize it, when you are well mentally, everything else becomes healthier. For young women in this field, this platform is the perfect place to start building that foundation.”

Who is TPN?
TPN was founded by 3 current pro footballers Gabby Cuevas, Sam Rosette, and Bri Reed, who have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of playing abroad, and they built TPN to give players more of the “good”. However, TPN is not just them. TPN is every player involved, as it was designed with the intention of leveraging and capitalizing on the power of the women’s football community and the players in it to protect, connect, and empower one another.
The Founders are a diverse group of women with a collective 14 years of professional experience in 10 different countries (and counting). Through their own experiences, they have found that so many great players:
-
Lack knowledge about the process and realities of going/playing abroad,
-
Struggle to find a team
-
Experience exploitation, mistreatment, and unprofessionalism from agents and clubs
-
Do not get the support they need and deserve as they pursue their dreams
- Lack community and resources when they get there
They want to change all that. And they believe that through their experiences and their collective growing community, they have the knowledge, power, and resources to help other players have the positive experiences they deserve, as well as push the game of women’s football forward.
