WHAT LIES<br />
AHEAD...<br />
<strong>Academy</strong> 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 <strong>Academy</strong> <strong>Transition</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> steps in.<br />
The programme is a league-wide initiative for academy players entering the<br />
Premier League that helps provide young players with information and<br />
resources that enable them to proactively make quality decisions and<br />
successfully adapt to the lifestyle and challenges of the Premier League.
