“FOOTBALL IS A GAME OF MISTAKES.<br />
Whoever Makes the fewest mistakes<br />
wins”.
NAVAGATING<br />
WHAT LIES<br />
AHEAD...<br />
Academy players are tasked with adjusting not only to the speed and<br />
physicality of the professional game but also to life off the pitch.<br />
Newcomers to the Premier League will face challenges in their personal lives<br />
that range from managing finances, media communication and personal<br />
conduct in the public eye. With some academy players entering the league at<br />
19, handling the spotlight and newfound fortune can be a lot to tackle.<br />
That’s where the Premier Sports Academy Transition Programme steps in.<br />
The programme is a league-wide mandatory initiative for academy players<br />
entering the Premier League that helps provide young players with<br />
information and resources that enable them to proactively make quality<br />
decisions and successfully adapt to the lifestyle and challenges of the Premier<br />
League.
WHO WE<br />
ARE<br />
The Premier Sports Network is a series of invite-only<br />
events for senior executives from clubs, federations,<br />
event organisers, sponsors and suppliers. Each<br />
Premier Sports Network event has a different theme<br />
and gives attendees the chance to network, do<br />
business and discuss commercial challenges and<br />
opportunities in the sector.
HOW IT<br />
WORKS<br />
The programme is an off-season one-day event which will feature<br />
interactive workshops and counsel sessions on challenges they will face in<br />
the Premier League, plus guest appearances from current and former<br />
Premier League players.<br />
There is special focus on character, ethics, the importance of positive<br />
images as well as personal and social responsibility.<br />
The sessions will run from 09.00-18.00 and will be conducted by the<br />
Premier Sports Network, the Premier League, PFA, current and former<br />
players and industry experts in each of the fields covered.
THE GOAL<br />
Ensure all Premier League academy players<br />
understand the challenges and pressures they are<br />
about to encounter and how to deal with them. That<br />
they’re fully aware of all the support mechanisms and<br />
programmes in place available to them whenever they<br />
need.
MENTAL<br />
HEALTH<br />
& WELLBEING<br />
Every year, one-in-four people experiences a mental health problem.<br />
Don’t think that the glamour and riches experienced by those who play<br />
professional sport means they’re any different: on the contrary, more<br />
and more high-profile athletes are speaking out about their own battles<br />
with mental health, the stigma attached to admitting their struggles and<br />
the resulting lack of support they have received.<br />
We explore how athlete support staff and organisations currently<br />
respond to, manage and prevent mental illness, and to identify<br />
successful programmes and approaches that can be shared between<br />
sports.<br />

FINANCIAL<br />
MANAGEMENT<br />
Professional sportspeople are more financially savvy than they’ve ever<br />
been. Today, top athletes - even in their teens - are putting money aside<br />
into a nest egg, or into investments they feel passionate about that they<br />
can then fall back on a decade later when injuries or age ends the career<br />
they are primarily known for. So too are they thinking harder about how<br />
they can financially protect themselves and their families, both during<br />
and after their career.<br />
We discuss how players view their financial matters, and what support<br />
needs to be offered to professional sportspeople during their career –<br />
financial, educational and vocational – so that they’re protected during<br />
their sporting career and beyond.<br />
