Vices common to adult men of all ages – alcoholism, drug addiction and<br />
gambling – are also common in football circles, with players attracted to<br />
the less virtuous ways of spending their leisure time outside of<br />
matchdays and training. It’s why charities such as Sporting Chance,<br />
founded by former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams following<br />
his own well-documented battles, work hard to educate and rehabilitate<br />
footballers across the UK.<br />
The <strong>Academy</strong> <strong>Transition</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> will explore, in depth, the dangers<br />
presented to footballers in this area, what the consequences are for both<br />
player and club, how support staff can guide players away from<br />
temptation and what the best procedures are to help footballers in<br />
recovery or identified as in danger of addiction.<br />
