Guided by industry expertise: Stefano Malvestio

This programme is built on real-world results, guided by the vision of Stefano Malvestio. His practical insight has shaped a curriculum that goes beyond theory to address the tangible challenges faced by professional athletes today. Under Stefano’s guidance, the course reflects current industry standards, ensuring you receive relevant, actionable advice.

Beyond managing major transfers and contracts, he advises high-level athletes in sports such as tennis and fencing, ensuring their commercial and legal interests—from image rights to disciplinary procedures—are fully protected.

Who is this program for?

Designed for those requiring a clear command of the industry.

– Professional Athletes: Active players seeking to take control of their careers and protect their long-term interests off the field.

– Family & Personal Advisors: Parents, family members, or trusted advisors acting as the athlete’s first line of support and operational management.

Methodology

Live and at your own pace
Live sessions are the heart of our program. We always encourage attendance because that’s where the magic happens: real-time debate, the resolution of complex questions, and the creation of a valuable network of contacts with other professionals in the field.

However, we understand the daily demands of the sports world. For this reason, if you can’t attend a class, don’t worry. All sessions are recorded, and you will have access to them for a set period so you can catch up or review the content at your own pace.

Flexible enrollment
You have until December 31, 2026, to enroll in the course. Although the live sessions take place from September 22 to October 13, upon enrollment, you will gain immediate access to all recordings of the sessions that have already taken place.
