Our latest event for young footballers – Kick Off – focuses on 1st year apprentices who are beginning their transition into the exciting but challenging journey of football. Like My Future Now, Kick Off is the same event with three iterations based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth in order to facilitate maximum spread of getting players, coaches and speakers to there.
The main focuses are around starting their career, gambling awareness, social media awareness, finding your feet in the dressing room and Q & As with ex-professionals who’ve stood where these players have before. Both players and coaches have noted how much they’ve gotten out of the event and we’re always looking to build on previous years to make the next better than the last.
Our business partners Advanta Wealth even took the time to come and discuss managing your money and budgeting too – as young players likely receiving their first larger pay checks this is very useful and can help with the pressures of that at a young age. Gambling awareness charity the RCA Trust also came along to educate on loot boxes, the pitfalls of gambling and how to get support if you’re struggling with an addiction.
