Sassuolo Calcio continues its journey through local schools with the Generation S project. This morning, Luca Lipani took part in a meeting with students from the I.T.C.G. Baggi Institute in Sassuolo, in a moment of dialogue and discussion dedicated to personal growth and the importance of passion.
The black&green midfielder answered numerous questions from the students, recounting his personal and sporting journey, focusing on his relationship with fame, his dream of becoming a footballer, and the importance of staying true to one’s values. The meeting was moderated by psychologist Andrea Menozzi, who kicked off the event by addressing the topic of “Anxiety and fear: how to react,” offering the students food for thought on how to recognize and manage emotional challenges in sports and everyday life. “Fame and my professional contract haven’t changed me,” said Lipani. “I do a job that I’m passionate about, that I dreamed of as a child. I never played football for financial gain. My family has always been there for me, helping and supporting me every step of the way”. .
During the event, the midfielder, born in 2005, repeatedly stressed the central role of family in his development, emphasizing how crucial their support has been at times of choice and change. There were also more intimate and personal moments, linked to his relationship with himself and the future. “To young Luca, I would say to keep on dreaming and cultivating his passion,” he added, “while to Luca in ten years’ time, I would say to always maintain the desire to grow and improve. Leaving your comfort zone is not easy, but Sassuolo has been and continues to be a great growth opportunity for me. I wouldn’t change anything about my journey, because every step has brought me here”. It was an open and lively discussion, involving students and teachers, offering an authentic glimpse into how a young professional deals with personal and sporting challenges on a daily basis.
The meeting was concluded by psychologist Menozzi: “The support of a psychologist can help you see things from a different perspective. You, young people, have many strengths, don’t be afraid to put yourselves to the test. Share your problems and fears, trying to understand how to deal with difficulties”.
This was another significant milestone of the Generazione S project, which continues to bring the values of Sassuolo Calcio off the pitch, meeting young people in their everyday lives.
