The Aspire Academy Global Summit is an integral part of the programme. It is an
exclusive
annual event reserved for Aspire Fellows and for the Extended Community, which enables
the invited attendees to share their knowledge, experience, applied practice and
research in Football Performance and Science. In a move away from the traditional
conference presentation format, the Summit revolves around a series of roundtable
discussions and workshops in order to encourage open debate and discussion between
Aspire Fellows. In this way, the Summit is able to convey the different methodologies
being used by Aspire Fellows around the world in the development of elite football
players, whilst facilitating relationships amongst representatives of the Clubs,
Federations and leagues. ‘Star chat sessions’ delivered across the Summit also draws
upon the knowledge of leading managers, coaches and players within Football Performance
and Science.
