Family at the heart of J-Academy thinking

Juventus demonstrated its unwavering commitment to nurturing the club’s young talents both on and off the football pitch during this evening’s meeting with parents at Juventus Stadium.

The event, entitled ‘The role of parents in the Juventus project’, saw academy chief Stefano Braghin and experienced sports psychologist Giuseppe Vercelli speak to family members about the establishment and maintenance of effective support networks for rising stars.

Appropriate behaviour and a disciplined lifestyle were top of the code of conduct list, but other off-field matters, such as correct nutrition, were also touched upon during the 90-minute chat with parents.
