Personal<br />
conduct<br />
Fame, adulation and large amounts of money can be a dangerous combination<br />
when young, impressionable footballers are forming personal relationships. Given<br />
they are hero-worshiped, in the public eye and contactable like never before<br />
through social media, the number of temptations, many of which are inappropriate,<br />
are numerous. Sexual scandal also continues to sell papers, so just one step out of<br />
line could see a player on the front page of a newspaper rather than the back page.<br />
The sensitive topic of personal conduct – which has received greater attention<br />
following the high-profile jailing of Adam Johnson earlier this year - will be covered<br />
in the <strong>Academy</strong> <strong>Transition</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> by giving those working in player care an<br />
understanding of how players can avoid getting into improper personal<br />
relationships, and what the implications can be for both player and club should<br />
footballers behave illegally and inappropriately.<br />
